Alumni Score a Home Run  


A recent summer evening found Delgado alumni, faculty, staff and friends enjoying a New Orleans Zephyrs baseball game.  

Delgado friends and family

shared the fun at the  

Alumni Night at the Zephyrs.

Hosted by your Alumni  Association, the           Delgado Alumni and Friends Night at the Zephyrs was 

such a huge success that our group won the use of a suite behind home plate!   

 

It was a wonderful evening to watch the game, catch fly balls in the stands or just hang out with friends in the suite.  

 

 

 

 

Our thanks to all who attended.

SPRING COMMENCEMENT

The graduates were from the City Park Campus, the West Bank Campus, the Northshore, Technical campuses, and the Charity School of Nursing.

The initiative is currently active in New Orleans, New York, Long Beach, Los Angeles and Houston, and will continue to expand to communities across the country.
