Kent and Sussex Counties Blue Hen Network
Kent & Sussex Blue Hen and friends can connect with each other through events and the Kent & Sussex Blue Hen Network Facebook Group for camaraderie, networking, local advice and recommendations and sharing their mutual love for the University of Delaware.
Join local events, organized by UD Blue Hen ambassadors in your region, that range from happy hours to family-friendly ice cream gatherings and museum tours to cheering on your favorite sports teams at the stadium. Many events are sponsored by the UD Alumni Association (UDAA), which allows them to be offered at discounted rates.

Fun fact:
My husband and I are both UD grads and so is our oldest daughter and her husband. They met on a UD study abroad trip. I am a HUGE UD football fan. We have been season ticket holders for many, many years. One item on my bucket list is to go to every home and away game in one season.
