The occasion was all “Pomp and Circumstance.” Del Mar College (DMC) held its Summer 2022 Commencement, deemed the “Viking Experience,” with prospective graduates walking across the stage in Selena Auditorium at the American Bank Center on Friday, Aug. 19. 

Prior to the College awarding students their hard-earned reward, DMC alumnus Richard B. Morin, a 1994 Nurse Education Department graduate and President of CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Alice and Kleberg, provided the keynote address (click to read speaker announcement).
