Volunteers helped with City Park’s Moss Memorial Library remediation after Katrina.

The Katrina disaster of 2005 was a setback to Delgado’s growth and progress in the 2000s, but this event does not define the College for the most recent decade. What does define Delgado in the 2000s?

Here’s how to find out. The highs and lows of Delgado in the 2000s are explored in a new post on Delgado’s 90th Anniversary blog: http://www.delgado90.blogspot.com/. The blog presents an ongoing series of stories about the history of Delgado, beginning before its opening in 1921 and continuing through the present day.

Events, issues and people from Delgado’s past and present are spotlighted along with reflections on New Orleans and national history and culture during the past 90 years. Archival pictures illustrate each story.

The blog format gives readers a forum to add their own views about a topic. Comments are welcome!

Delgado faculty and staff who would like to participate in creating this chronicle of Delgado’s history are asked to contact Carol Gniady, executive director of Public Relations and Marketing, at 671-5498 or cgniad@dcc.edu.
