Promise Yourself...
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

- 4:31Speaker snippets from the DMC ceremony on Feb. 6, 2025Speaker snippets from the DMC ceremony on Feb. 6, 2025On Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025, Del Mar College officials held an unveiling of the newly renovated Memorial Classroom building, along with a new Texas Historical Commission marker recognizing Del Mar College as “a centerpiece of higher education in the Coastal Bend region.”Dr. Mark Escamilla, President and Chief Executive Officer, welcomed about 125 attendees and shared details about the renovation project. The Memorial Classroom Building now houses the college’s Executive Administrative Offices, Human Resources Office and the College Relations Office, among others.DMC Board of Regents Chair Carol A. Scott thanked the community for its support for the nearly $17.8 million modernization of the building. The project is part of the $157 million bond referendum passed by Del Mar College District voters in 2014 as part of Heritage Campus and Windward Campus capital improvement projects.In addition to other celebratory activities during the event, the college unveiled in front of Memorial Classroom Building a permanently installed Texas State Historical Marker provided by the Texas Historical Commission. The historical designation and marker resulted from two former DMC students, Troy Nessner and Preston Martin, initiating the process as part of a project in History Professor Dr. Mark Robbins’ class back in 2017. Completion of that process took two years before the college received the marker, and now, the marker has a permanent home with the Memorial Classroom Building renovation completed.Both Nessner––who is a 2019 DMC Hall of Fame inductee, a member of the Nueces County Historical Commission and now a graduate student at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi––and Dr. Robbins, who is with the college’s Social Sciences Department, spoke about the work that went into the project before the marker unveiling.
