- A time to celebrate the end of a journey! Del Mar College awards more than 1,200 associate degrees and certificates during Spring 2025 Commencement ceremonyArticle by: Richard Guerrero, Jr. For the 713 out of the college’s 953 total prospective graduates making up the Class of May 2025, Del Mar College’s Spring 2025 Commencement Ceremony marked a new chapter in their lives. The long line of graduates marched into and out of the arena at the American Bank Center as the largest graduating class since at least 2019 when 714 Vikings crossed the stage during that Spring graduation ceremony. Overall, the college awarded 1,214 certificates and associate degrees combined to the total graduating class this spring. Among the list are 128 Dual Enrollment Program graduates, who are high school students receiving certificates and associate degrees from DMC before even walking the stage during their own schools’ commencement ceremonies to receive their diplomas. In addition, the Class of May 2025 included 39 students from Collegiate High School (CHS) and 22 students from Harold T. Branch Academy for Career and Technical Education. Before DMC’s Spring 2025 graduates took the spotlight to receive these awards, Keynote Speaker Dr. Wayne Morris, D.D.S./F.A.G.D., shared a few reflections from his time as both an athlete and a student at DMC in 1959 and 1960.

- Catching up with Foghorn alumnus Raul AlonzoArticle by: Richard Guerrero, Jr. Raul Alonzo was an award-winning Foghorn staffer while he was a student at Del Mar College. His time working on student newspapers both at DMC and at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi have served him well. He moved on to work for the Corpus Christi Caller-Times and Gatehouse Media while wrapping up work on a bachelor’s degree in media arts at TAMU-CC. Today, he’s a Digital Producer for the Texas Standard weekday radio news magazine, which airs on National Public Radio stations across the Lone Star State. College Relations staff caught up with Alonzo when he was invited to return to campus in March 2025 to give a talk about a project that began during his days as a Foghorn reporter. He was genuinely excited to share details about his work and how his time at DMC helped him build the skill set he needed to excel in his current role.
