University description (as per official university website)
Delta College Begins
Delta College has continued, without interruption, the educational opportunities that were previously provided by Bay City Junior College. In the mid-1950's, as the demand for education beyond high school increased in the tri-county area, the percentage of students attending Bay City Junior College from outside the K-12 Bay City Public School District steadily increased. The enrollment was approximately 50 percent non-resident, with about 40 percent of the enrollment coming from Saginaw. Early in 1955, seven community leaders from Bay, Midland and Saginaw met to discuss the possibility of a tri-county college. Their interest and action prompted the following developments:
* 1955: Organization of the Tri-County Committee of 300 formed to study the needs of higher education in the Saginaw Valley area.
* 1956: The final report of the Committee of 300, outlining the need to establish and finance a new college, was received.
* 1957: Legislation was submitted to the State of Michigan Legislature to finance and establish a new institution of higher education.
* 1957: Voters of Bay, Saginaw, and Midland counties formed a community college district under Act 182 of the Public Acts of 1957 and authorized a levy of 1.5 mills to construct and operate a college.
* 1958: Bonds were sold to provide the financial structure for Delta College and campus construction began.
* 1959-61: Members of the faculty and staff of Bay City Junior College assisted in planning for the new college. Many of the Bay City Junior College faculty, students, and staff became part of the new college as Bay City Junior College operations were assimilated into Delta College.
* 1961: Delta College opened.
Delta College's mission is to be "an innovative and responsive community college dedicated to meeting the diverse educational and personal growth needs of our students by providing excellent learning opportunities and support services. |
