Dear Students, Faculty and Staff of Delgado Community College’s West Bank Campus: 

Welcome to our campus!  I am pleased to have everyone and delighted that you have chosen Delgado as your place to study, to work, and to grow!  Our enrollment is approximately 2,900 students for the 2007 fall semester compared to the 3,034 enrollment pre-Katrina, our largest ever in the history of the campus.

Each of you has experienced hardships dealing with the hurricanes, the flooding, and general day-to-day existence.  However, you have decided to continue your education on this campus and the faculty, staff and I are excited to have you here and to be a part of your continued growth and development.  We are constantly striving for excellence and continually focusing on becoming even more student-centered than we have been in the past.  We have an excellent faculty and staff at Delgado!  We are particularly proud of the West Bank Campus faculty and staff.  We are here to assist you in becoming successful whether you are here for a course, a program, transfer to a four-year university, obtain a certificate or an associate’s degree, participate in workforce training or professional development; or desire self-improvement.

Regardless of your choice or reasons for attending the West Bank Campus of Delgado Community College, we want to provide you the necessary tools to achieve your goals.    We are close to where you live; offer reasonable costs compared to other institutions in the area; offer small classes and individual attention; alternative approaches to learning, such as our distance-learning courses; provide experience in community service and provide to you a courteous, friendly and knowledgeable staff and faculty.  I graduated from a community college much like this one and I know how important it is to receive quality education and training, regardless of what your future goals may be. 

My office is located in LaRocca Hall, Room 142.  If you have a problem or concern, or if you need assistance in resolving an issue, please stop by the Provost’s Office and we will either help you solve your problem or direct you to the appropriate person who can help you.  My staff consists of Ms. Jerrie Protti, Executive Assistant to the Provost, and Ms. Sherlyn Henry-Lambert, Administrative Assistant V.   Have a great semester and plan to return next term!  We want you back!

Cordially, 
Donna K. Alley, Ed.D.
Provost, Delgado’s West Bank Campus
