The Diamond Walkway
The Diamond Walkway was created to recognize in perpetuity individuals
who make significant contributions to the University of Delaware. The
Walkway features large, gray pavers forming diamond shapes in the center,
surrounded by engraved red bricks personalized with the names of members
of the Delaware Diamonds Society and the Legacy Society. The Walkway extends
from the brick gateway on Main Street to the front steps of venerable
Old College, the first building of Delaware College. Members will receive
a brick in The Diamond Walkway at which time personal giving reaches $5,000
over the course of a maximum of five consecutive years. Each fall, the
names of new members are added to The Diamond Walkway, and members are
provided with their brick location. To have your brick in place by Homecoming
Weekend in October, your gift should be received by June 30, the end of
the University’s fiscal year.
