Delgado, 36, is responsible for connecting faculty and students from all campuses with the latest technology by creating partnerships with companies like Tesla, Microsoft, Amazon and IBM.

“[We] prepare students with the skills to get a job here locally, so that they can get a job that is high-paying here in our community,” Delgado said.

For the past six years, Delgado worked as the college-wide dean of the School of Engineering, Technology, and Design, Generation IT Program Manager, and as lead Instructor for the McKinsey Social Initiative at MDC.

Delgado earned a bachelor’s degree in electronics and telecommunications engineering from Universidad Tecnológica de La Habana in Havana, Cuba. He also received a master’s degree in computer networks from the University of Westminster in London, United Kingdom.
