For over 40 years, Dallas College Richland Campus Music Department has been a nurturing and thriving program that offers a huge variety of instrumental and vocal instructions in performance and theory through music courses. The department is looking to expand its course offerings in the next two academic years with even more options for instrumental, vocal and music theory instructions.
Dr. Abel Rodriguez, a music faculty member, said that while registration is lower than that of 2020, the department is working to build back. “Before the pandemic, I would say that we would typically have between 30 and 40 music majors a year with each semester of new students. While we still feel the impact of that crisis, the numbers of students that are enrolling are getting close to what they were before.”
Students at Dallas college can count on the staff and administrators to always have their best interest at heart, because it is more than just a college. It is a community college and as a community, it is important for all members to have basic necessities. This is why the food pantry at Richland Campus welcomes all students in need. Whether it is a snack between meals or dinner for the week, students can count on the pantry Monday through Thursday.
The Richland Pantry prides itself with its employees and work study staff. They are students’ peers who walk the same campus as students every day. They are the ones who make everything happen. When students come through the door, they are greeted and welcomed by staff with a smile, creating a safe space for those in need.
