Welcome to UD
In 1743 new ideas, new discovery and new directions embodied the humble beginnings of a small institution growing over time to become the University of Delaware.
1743 Welcome Days begin on August 25, 2012 featuring a variety of events in your residence halls, across campus, and under the big tent, such as Campus Breakout—a campus-wide celebration, Activities Night—an involvement fair, educational workshops, comedians, and more. These events will provide you with an opportunity to explore campus and Newark and most importantly, have fun!
Check back to this website for updates and previews to your 1743 experience.
