Alumni Delegation

Alumni Delegation

The procession of alumni delegates at Commencement was initiated in 1983. The following members of the UD Alumni Association (UDAA) represent the more than 217,000 alumni throughout the United States and around the world. Many of the delegates are related to a student graduating today, which is very indicative of the many legacies within the Blue Hen community.
