Delgado Community College is in the middle of a year-long celebration of the college's 90th Anniversary. On November 23, the college marked Founder's Day (Isaac Delgado's birthday), a long-standing tradition at the college by placing a wreath at founder/benefactor Isaac Delgado's tomb in Metairie Cemetary. This year's event restarted the tradition to observe the 90th Anniversary of the college's official dedication on November 23, 1921.

In addition, the college's official 90th Anniversary documentary debuted. The 20-minute video features many iconic Delgado figures and administrators who trace the college's rich history and its contributions to the New Orleans area. To view the documentary on YouTube, click here.
