Campaign for Delaware:
Positioning the College
for the Challenges Ahead
The College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy (CHEP) is one of the newest colleges on the University of Delaware campus, formed in 1997 by the consolidation of the University’s programs in education, human resources, and urban affairs and public policy. But with more than 2,500 students pursuing studies in 10 academic majors, the College is already a vital piece of the University of Delaware’s educational mosaic.
The challenges on the public agenda today are decidedly different than they were at mid-century. In the next half-century, it is likely that our world will change in ways that few of us can now anticipate. The Campaign for Delaware will help us prepare for the challenges of the future in the following concrete ways:
- by providing scholarships and assistantships for talented students,
- by attracting and recognizing outstanding faculty,
- by promoting discovery-based learning opportunities for students,
- by enhancing educational technologies, and
- by supporting innovative education, research, and outreach initiatives.
