Dear Blue Hens,

Since my arrival, I’ve had the privilege to meet and connect with so many alumni, most recently at football games in Boulder and Miami. Each conversation is a reminder of how unique this community is – rooted in shared memories and strengthened by your continued involvement. 

An upcoming highlight on my calendar is Homecoming, November 7-8. We hope you’ll join us on campus to celebrate, reconnect with friends and faculty, and feel the energy of UD today. Once a Blue Hen, always a Blue Hen!

Big breakthroughs often start small – with a simple “yes,” and that is the spirit behind the College of Arts and Sciences’ reenvisioned giving opportunities:
  • Dean’s Innovation Fund: advancing the future of the College through visionary leadership, innovation and creativity. 
  • Student Success Fund: fueling internships, global travel and hands-on experiences. 
  • Research & Discovery Fund: empowering exploration across the arts, humanities and sciences – from unlocking brain function, exploring creative expression or modeling climate resilience. 
  • Faculty Excellence Fund: investing in and honoring the educators who teach every undergraduate at UD. 
  • College Scholarship Fund: ensuring that financial need never stands in the way of education. 
With your unwavering support, our vision becomes a reality, and we thank you. 

Sincerely,
Caleb Everett
Dean, College of Arts and Sciences
