The criteria guidelines and submission form can be found on Human Resources Recognition and Services.
Weekly topics on Mental Health

Meet a Blue Hen: Artika Casini
Title: Managing Editor of UD Magazine (formerly known as The Messenger), member of the UD Women’s Caucus
Years at UD: 9
What I do at UD: Edit the UD Magazine
What I love about UD: The people.
Accomplishment I’m proud of: UD Magazine redesign, which we implemented in-house with a tiny but talented team, led by our phenomenal art director, Molly Chappell.
What inspires me: Great writing. People who do the right thing when nobody is looking. Kids, especially my own.
One thing people don’t know about me: I have a Messenger tattoo on my middle finger to remind me of the privilege and responsibility that comes with holding the power of the pen. Given its location, it’s also fun to show off ;)
What makes the University of Delaware a great place to work? The people. There’s no shortage of talent, innovation, expertise and some of the most interesting and inspiring stories I’ve ever heard.
Describe the career growth path you've taken at the University of Delaware. I began working here in 2010 as a Communications Specialist, writing speeches for the provost and the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as articles for UDaily. In 2014, I moved to Office and Development and Alumni Relations, where I learned about the critical role philanthropy plays in our continued success. Since 2015, I’ve been working on the UD Magazine, first as a writer, then content manager, and finally, as managing editor. It is such an honor to share the stories that comprise our Blue Hen community.
What's one interesting fact about the University of Delaware that people might not know? It really does rain more frequently on Tuesdays! A Messenger-prompted study examined the day of the week and percentage of precipitation in Newark’s campus over the last 11 years and found that Tuesdays saw the most rainfall—38 percent, versus 34 percent for all weekdays (and only 30.5 percent for weekends). State climatologist and UD’s own Dan Leathers thinks it might be because of heavier weekday activity and increased heat energy in the atmosphere.
