BCC’s Director of Multi-Cultural Affairs [TOWNSQUARE SUNDAY]

Rob Delaleu, a New Bedford native, is making his mark in education.

Delaleu was recently named Director of Multi-Cultural Affairs at Bristol Community College. He had previously served as Director of BCC's Multi-Cultural Center on the Fall River Campus. He also was a very successful basketball coach for the BCC Bayhawks.

Delaleu has led an effort this spring and summer to educate the school community and others on racial issues using a series of virtual forums. Another is scheduled for July 30 on Equity in Education.
