Arthur L. Deleray, Ph.D.

Emeritus Chemistry Professor

Arthur L. Deleray, Ph.D.

Dr. Art Deleray, respected Chemistry faculty and colleague, passed away in June 2017.  Art began his teaching career at Chabot College before coming to Las Positas College soon after it opened as the Valley Campus in 1975.  A beloved teacher, Art was known for his youthful enthusiasm for chemistry and teaching chemistry to students.  With the help of his other chemistry colleagues, he is to be credited for creating a rigorous General Chemistry program at LPC and developing a laboratory curriculum consisting of classic experiments that still continue to be relevant and fun for students today. Art retired from Las Positas College in 2002. Art was survived by his two son, their families, and many grandchildren. Even after retirement, Art was a constant presence during the LPC Major's Faire, continuing to excite students about chemistry at Las Positas College.  An avid tennis player and fan, Art traveled the world for the opportunity to watch tennis opens in various countries.  He will be missed.
