Oso Creek Campus: Del Mar College's New Era Begins with Official Opening Celebration
Last week marked a “new era” for Del Mar College with an “official” opening celebration on April 21 recognizing community support for the new Oso Creek Campus. Located on Corpus Christi’s southside at Yorktown Blvd. and Rodd Field Rd., DMC’s new 96-acre campus is the first the College has built in 65 years.Current campus programming features “centers of excellence” made up of three areas of study: 1) Architecture and Drafting Technology, 2) Biology, Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing (bio-sciences) and 3) Hospitality and Culinary Arts. Offerings also include core university-transfer courses, along with dual credit, developmental, workforce training and continuing education courses.The College began offering a limited number of courses in the STEM Building in mid-July 2022. Students could then take courses in both the STEM Building and Culinary Arts Building starting with the fall 2022 semester. In mid-January, the Main Central Building opened, completing construction of all three DMC buildings on the Oso Creek Campus.Located on an “educational corridor” along Yorktown Blvd., the Oso Creek Campus provides close access to students attending high schools with three independent school districts–Mary Carroll, Veterans Memorial, Flour Bluff and London––as well as to students attending the two regional Texas A&M Universities.

- 0:58Valdar's Back 🫶The myth. The legend. The Viking. Del Mar College’s mascot, Valdar the Viking, has become a superstar over the last five years since he journeyed down North America’s Eastern Seaboard and landed in Corpus Christi on April 27, 2017. He found his home at DMC, and the community embraced Valdar after he visited schools and community events throughout Nueces County and beyond. Now he’s going to sport a new look, which the College’s Student Leadership & Campus Life Office will unveil on Thursday, Nov. 3, as he “rocks the runway” for DMC students and employees to see. His beard and hair now have a more sun-drenched yellow hue, and the lovable ambassador for the College is kicking off his Nordic look to sport a more casual coastal wardrobe as well as tux and tails when the occasion calls for a more sophisticated looking man about town. After all, Valdar makes anywhere from 50 to 60 appearances each year around the Coastal Bend, ranging from sporting events to school visits to formal affairs as a representative of Del Mar College.Since August 2021, the College has engaged in rebranding efforts, including renaming the two existing campuses at the time and naming the campus under construction on the southside of Corpus Christi, updating the logo and introducing a new color palate for marketing purposes institutionally and for each of DMC’s three campuses. “It only makes sense that Valdar also pushed his way to the front of the line as part of the College’s rebranding efforts, wanting a new look to fit our new image by shedding his furry beard and Viking winter wardrobe to fit in more with the locals,” says Beverly Cage, Director of the DMC Student Leadership & Campus Life Officer. “We’re now ready to unveil Valdar’s new look as he continues to serve as one of Del Mar College’s ambassadors to represent higher education and the opportunities that DMC provides.”
