The Network of Undergraduate Collaborative Learning Experiences for Underrepresented Scholars (NUCLEUS) is an interdepartmental program in the College of Arts and Science. Funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Undergraduate Biological Sciences Education Initiative, NUCLEUS is designed to recruit, retain and graduate academically talented African-American, Latino, Native-American and Asian students majoring in science disciplines at UD. NUCLEUS seeks to increase the ethnic representation and cultural diversity in the sciences, while providing an environment that encourages academic achievement, leadership and service.

Thought of the Month
Failure:

If you do not ever fail, then your goals are not nearly ambitious enough. If you do not come across new challenges on a regular basis, your abilities and effectiveness will become stale and weak. Comfort is a good state in which to find rest, renewal and refuge for a while. It is a dreary and dismal place to take up permanent residence. The reason life can be so rich is precisely because it can be so difficult. You cannot possibly appreciate or fully benefit from the good things if you have no experience with the bad things. When your efforts are met with failure, you know you are on to something. Because on the other side of that failure is real and substantive accomplishment.

Seek not to create failure, nor to avoid failure. Seek instead to allow failure, when it comes, to keep you moving on the path to greater success.

Failure confirms that you are reaching higher. And higher is always the best direction to reach.
