Faye (Harper) Corman, a global product stewardship specialist for DuPont, was honored during the Presidential Citation for Outstanding Achievement recognition ceremony at the University of Delaware on Friday, Oct. 30.
The Presidential Citation program honors UD graduates who have exhibited great promise in their professional and public service activities.
Corman, who received a bachelor's degree in agriculture in 1997, serves as a global product stewardship specialist for DuPont. Responsible for following more than 200 industrial and consumer products from beginning to end to ensure that the chemicals do not harm people or the environment, Corman has worked with a pilot team for corporate regulatory social networking to get the word out on environmental stewardship.
A passionate advocate for children, Corman is a dedicated volunteer with The Little Rock Foundation for visually impaired and blind children.
“Delaware gave me the educational foundation to succeed in my career, but it also gave me something more -- it taught me that we get what we give,” Corman said.
“Whether it was showing children and their families all that the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources had to offer at Ag Day, performing a rocking half-time show at Delaware Stadium with the UD Marching Band, or staying late with my lab partner to try just once more time to see if we could get an experiment to work, it was what I gave that mattered most,” Corman said.
