College of the Desert Newsroom

Due to recent State and County social distancing mandates, and for the safety of our students, faculty and staff, College of the Desert’s May 22 Commencement Ceremony at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden has been canceled.

Heeding the call from local healthcare providers, College of the Desert staff are utilizing 3D printers to create face shields for local hospitals and healthcare facilities.

College of the Desert will be closed on Thursday, April 9, in lieu of Cesar Chavez Day. The College will also be closed on Friday, April 10, in observance of the Spring Holiday.

Coachella Valley residents homebound under COVID-19 restrictions can connect with others while taking advantage of a number of personal enrichment trainings through the College’s Partnership and Community Education program.
