SurveyAlumni Survey

Response to the Alumni Survey is encouraging; the data from more than 300 DSC alums clearly indicates that the association has attracted interest and we look forward to incorporating the ideas and recommendations for events such as continuing education and networking opportunities.

DSC President Thomas LoBasso urged members of the3,500-strong Class of 2015 to dedicate themselves to lifelong learning, as he spoke in dual commencement ceremonies held May 18 at the Ocean Center.  >>>
Big news and lots of it! Dr. Thomas LoBasso has been appointed as the college's seventh president. The 2015-16 budget year starts off with no tuition hike for our students (great news) and the promise of a two percent reduction in tuition in spring of 2016 (awesome news). In addition, men's and women's soccer athletic programs will be added by fall 2016, and the college received funding for the new Student Services / Classroom / Workforce Transition Building.
