Delgado Student Ronulia Darensburg Attends Congressional Staff Briefing in Washington, D.C.,

September 18, 2026

Congratulations to Delgado Community College nursing student and New Orleans native Ronulia Darensburg. 💚
Ronulia was the only Louisiana student invited to attend a congressional staff briefing in Washington, D.C., where she spoke about the importance of the Federal Pell Grant and the life-changing impact it has had on students across the United States. 🇺🇸

With the Federal Pell Grant program facing a projected funding shortfall of roughly $5 billion this fiscal year alone, Ronulia brought a deeply personal perspective to the conversation.

Speaking on behalf of community college students everywhere, she courageously shared her own story with a room full of congressional staffers at the U.S. Capitol, putting a powerful, personal face to the importance of educational opportunity and access.
