This year, Deirdre celebrates 10 years of service as a Regional Ambassador for the Kent & Sussex Blue Hen Network. Throughout her time volunteering, she has enthusiastically organized and promoted numerous events, helping to strengthen connections between Kent & Sussex Blue Hens.

Deirdre’s commitment to UD extends beyond alumni engagement as she has also supported Blue Hen students through UD’s Job Shadow and Mentor Collective Mentoring programs, sharing her time, insight, and support.

A dedicated alumna and proud Blue Hen, Deirdre is also a member of the Delaware Diamonds Giving Society. 

Let’s hear from Deirdre:

Fun Fact: “I went swimming with penguins while studying abroad in South Africa.”

Why I Give Back: “During my time at UD, I received scholarships which enabled me to attend. I give back so that I can generate good will for the University so that another deserving student can benefit from scholarships funded by alumni donors.”
