Message from the UDAA President

Amy Levitz-Grundy Ed.D., EHD90

Dear Fellow University of Delaware Alumni,

It is an honor and privilege to serve as President of the University of Delaware Alumni Association (UDAA). While my UD pride has always been strong, becoming more involved recently has deeply reconnected me with our remarkable university. My experience is a testament that it's never too late to reignite your connection with UD!

Our Core Values: Connect, Inspire, Serve, and Celebrate

These shape our efforts to strengthen a vibrant, inclusive alumni community—for all Blue Hens, whether you graduated last year or decades ago.

Connect (or Reconnect!): We believe in the power of connection—with fellow alumni and with UD. From regional events and virtual programs to career networking and social platforms, we value opportunities to engage, no matter where life takes you.

Inspire: Our shared experiences have immense power. Whether you're just starting your career, navigating a new path, or leading in your field, your journey can inspire and guide others.

Serve: Giving back is fundamental to our community. We encourage you to support students by volunteering your time and contributing your talent and treasure. Every act of service, no matter how big or small, helps build a stronger foundation for future Blue Hens.

Celebrate: Let's honor our shared pride as Blue Hens! Through Homecoming, reunions, regional gatherings, and digital connections, we embrace the traditions and milestones that unite us, whether in Newark or around the world.

No matter where life takes you, you belong in the UDAA. Stay connected. Get involved. And let's celebrate what it truly means to be a Blue Hen!

Blue Hens Forever,

Amy Levitz-Grundy Ed.D., EHD90
