Reflecting on the accomplishments of fiscal years 2020 and 2021
To our generous supporters,
As valued friends of the University of Delaware, you have not only enabled many great achievements throughout these challenging times, but also strengthened our Blue Hen family, providing encouragement and resources to succeed in any situation. This has been particularly meaningful during the pandemic, and we so appreciate your kindness.
We are truly grateful for your commitment to enrich people and programs that define the UD community. You have inspired confidence and greatness by supporting education, research, hands-on learning and innovative spaces for Blue Hens to explore, discover and grow.
The UD Report on Philanthropy captures just some of the impressive impact made possible by your generosity.
Together, we remain Blue Hen Strong.
With gratitude,
