Phil Was Here

PHiL is in the Little Bob, encouraging students to participate in varsity and club sports. PHiL is in Worrilow Hall, offering cutting-edge research opportunities. PHiL is in the Wellbeing Center at Warner Hall, hosting student wellness programs.

Egg Quest

 

Starting on November 18, 100 yellow eggs were placed around campus where PHiL has made an impact. If you found an egg and scanned the QR code inside by November 22nd, you received a free mini plush YoUDee!


Each egg is valid for one entry. One mini YoUDee per person.

How Phil Helps Blue Hens

Each Blue Hen story begins with the donors who make their experiences possible. These UD students reflect on their unique journeys and thank those who helped them along the way.

GET INVOLVED

True Blue Hens

All student donors are automatically welcomed into the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society, which recognizes donors who make a gift to UD—of any amount—every year. Alumni, friends, faculty, staff and other donors are required to give at least three consecutive years to be included in the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society, but as a student donor, you receive the same recognition benefits as UD’s most loyal annual donors after making your FIRST gift! You will remain in the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society as long as you continue to make an annual gift to UD.
