Dear Alumni,
It is my great honor and pleasure to serve as the President of your University of Delaware Alumni Association.
Your UDAA Board is keenly focused on fulfilling its mission. Our shared values of “Connect, Inspire, Serve and Celebrate” form the foundation of that work. I am especially passionate about building on the value of “Connect”. Meaningful connections of Blue Hens with each other and with our university can benefit all of us in many ways personally and professionally. And, at the same time, we are strengthening and energizing our Blue Hen community. All of the alumni volunteers who serve on the UDAA Board of Directors are focused on providing, encouraging and developing opportunities for meaningful connections. We want to be sure we offer you plenty of opportunities with other Blue Hens and UD through events, career and professional development possibilities, and other resources you value.
The UDAA is proud to offer information, tools and discounts for financial wellness, lifelong learning and demonstrating your Blue Hen pride. Check out all these resources for alumni, with more to come!
If you have any questions or feedback for me or for the Board, please don’t hesitate to email alumni-association@udel.edu. I hope to see you on campus, or at an event around the country, soon!
Let’s celebrate our connectedness as we are all part of the vibrant Blue Hen community!
Blue Hens Forever,
Bill Luzier, AS78, BE84M
