Delgado is an Assistant Dean for Civic Engagement in the Residential College In The Arts and Humanities at Michigan State University. He has an extensive background in public administration. Among other projects, he co-founded the Refugee Development Center in Lansing and formerly co-chaired the Ingham “Power of We Consortium.”
