Del Mar College and Texas A&M University-Kingsville partner as part of NASA Planning Grant to encourage South Texas underrepresented minority students to pursue studies and STEM-related careers
The learning experience is part of a three-year $1.2 million NASA Planning Grant that was awarded to TAMUK in late August 2021 with the College among the partnering higher education institutions. The funding incudes DMC receiving $180,000 during the grant period to close the gap in the aerospace engineering field among underrepresented minorities, specifically Hispanics and women.

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.

But, on April 4, the four students demonstrated what they’ve learned during a “skills rodeo” at the Nueces Electric Cooperative (NEC) Training Field in Robstown.
“We’re proud to support Del Mar College’s new Electrical Lineworker Program as it is the first of its kind in the Coastal Bend area. At NEC, our mission is to help our members improve their quality of life, and we can fully support our mission by encouraging our newest generation of aspiring electrical lineworkers to be a part of something great. We wish Del Mar much success and cannot wait to see what the future brings." - Varzavand Irani, Nueces Electric Cooperative Chief Executive Officer
The first four students to participate with the intensive 10-week program, which started in January, include Andrew “Blake” Galvan, Gabriel Garcia, Rodolfo “Rudy” Landeros and Christopher Luzania. Among their past work experiences, these students held jobs in service, general maintenance and education positions before tackling training for a different line of work as entry level electrical lineworkers.
During the rodeo, the cohort demonstrated skills that included pole top rescue, personal protective grounding and insulator or cross arm changes. Their performances of these skills determine their final grades for the program. Students have taken progressive coursework that covers basic electricity, basic pole climb, employability skills, electrical safety and tools, digger derrick and pole framing, safety regulations, live line safety, transformers and distribution operations.
“Del Mar College is honored to participate with NEC and all the regional electrical transmission companies in preparing electrical lineworkers for the workforce,” added DMC Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Lenora Keas. “The College’s new training program provides the opportunity for individuals to develop skills for gainful employment or to advance their careers in the electrical transmission field, and the skills rodeo was an exciting opportunity for us to showcase the advanced skills needed to become and compete as a lineworker.”
As an industry partner needing more electrical lineworkers for their workforce, NEC has provided the College use of their Training Field for students’ hands-on experiences and opportunity to put into practice what they’ve learned in the classroom.

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.”
