Five University of Delaware alumni were inducted into the University's Alumni Wall of Fame on Friday, May 9. Monica Taylor, vice president for development and alumni relations, told those gathered to honor the five alumni that the caliber of their accomplishments serves as a testament to the value of a University of Delaware degree. “Today's inductees have made exceptional contributions in their life's work and have added to the quality of life of our society,” she said. "The worldwide recognition these individuals have gained brings pride to the University of Delaware and inspires fellow alumni and current students alike. Our honorees have added significantly to the value of a University of Delaware degree." Alan Brayman, vice president of the University of Delaware Alumni Association, moderated the ceremony, introducing inductees Alex T. Bourdon, Arthur L. Goldstein, Elizabeth McCloy Morris, Carol A. Post, and Lisa C. Rowen as honored members of the alumni association from around the nation and the world who have distinguished themselves professionally and in the community. Brayman and UD President Patrick Harker presented the certificates of induction, bringing the number of names on the wall to 215. There are more than 140,000 UD graduates including Revolutionary War heroes, signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as well as physicians, engineers and authors.
