Delta College has motivated and encouraged me to make the most out of my education and ultimately my life. I would never have becomes as active, committed, responsible and genuinely willing to work for the benefit of others without the guidance and compassion demonstrated by the Delta mentors day after day, year after year. The bond that these gifted individuals share with students goes beyond the classroom and wraps around the world.
Delta College has given me a sense of stability, a ray of hope and a new perspective on this crazy thing we call life. The family I have acquired through Delta is like nothing I have ever experienced before.
I have learned many useful skills that I can apply to my current work experience and future career. The required internships were very beneficial, and I cannot imagine doing my education any other way.
Entering Delta College was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only has it challenged me academically, but personally as well. It is astounding how much confidence I have gained in the last three years. When it comes to describing the Delta faculty, dedicated, challenging, caring, creative, understanding and masters of their disciplines are the words that come to mind. They inspire us to go beyond our limits and excel. I do not even want to know where I would be without Delta.
I look at my teachers as mentors and not just teachers. They have shown me what college and life are all about without even opening one textbook.
I am anxious to be going to another country on my own, yet when I consider it, I am ready — really ready. If it were not for Delta classes, Delta curriculum, Delta ideas, and especially my Delta friends (faculty and fellow students included), I am convinced I would be a very different, less confident person today. It is funny how you can go from skeptic to Delta fanatic overnight.
I want to especially thank you for your persistent guidance and
engagement in my success as a
student. You all have taught me the
immeasurable ideals of history,
literature, art and science, along
with the indispensable necessity of
having fun while learning.
“The Delta College Program (and its students and faculty) is unique, and not just in terms of being an interdisciplinary general education program. It’s also how we explore what’s beyond our limited horizons. Our students and faculty are curious about the world around them, find connections between the seemingly unrelated, infuse creativity in whatever they do, and work together to find the best paths to the world beyond Brockport.”
~Nancy Washer, Director, Delta College Program
“Our professors are as self-selecting as our students are; interdisciplinary team teaching
relies on a rich and varied faculty. We glory in student development
and work together to create a genuine learning community of diverse but
connected students. Our students arrive as teenagers and leave as poised,
polished, professional adults.”
“Delta is a great program for any student concerned about finding a career related job after graduation. As a former corporate recruiting manager, I can say that the professional skills woven through the curriculum and the internships provide a competitive edge to students who want to maximize the value of their college education. There are no guarantees, but the probability of obtaining your career or graduate school goals increases when you accept the delta challenge. I'm excited to be a part of this.”
~Jim Georger, Advisement and Recruitment Coordinator, Delta College Program
“I was attracted to teach at Delta by the strong emphasis on work experience; that is, the blending of education and career as part of the college experience. There is a strong sense of community among Delta students, including a sense of ownership and empowerment in shaping their future careers.”
“It is both rewarding and great fun — the
students are exciting, diverse and have
loads of personality; the faculty and staff
also are exceptionally creative,
unconventional and interesting.”
“The Delta approach emphasizes the need for students to become active participants in their own education so that they will have the confidence to continue that process where there is no longer a professor standing in front of the room.”
“These young students have a serious attitude toward the life of the mind. They relate to one another as thoughtful students of important issues, they play off each other in a consistent intellectual manner, while at the same time maintaining that graciousness of behavior we all aspire to: that of gentle and educated humans. Theirs is a spirit of fun and lots of humor.”
“Delta College is a fascinating, unusual and effective program. The students seem unlike typical college students in that they both emotionally and intellectually able to be connected to college by the end of their freshman year....The focus on public performance makes possible a kind of intellectually exchange and development rarely achieved in more traditional classroom settings....It also pushes all of its students to achieve and excel.”
