The leadership team for the University of Delaware’s 1743 Welcome Days has announced a public
speaking opportunity for returning undergraduate students – the chance to be a speaker at the annual
Twilight Induction Ceremony on Monday, Aug. 26, which will welcome thousands of new students to
UD’s Newark campus.

This experience is open to proud Blue Hens who are actively engaged on campus, willing to serve as role models for incoming students and excited to take part in the University’s official welcome ceremony.

Additionally, qualified candidates must:

• Be in good academic and disciplinary standing with the University
• Have and maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average
• Possess strong communication skills
• Display school spirit and professionalism
• Be a UD first-year, sophomore or junior who will be returning to campus in fall 2019

Following an application review and interviews with the 1743 Welcome Days leadership team, one
highly qualified student will be selected to speak at this year’s ceremony.

Interested students may apply online now. Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Thursday, May
16, and the winning speaker will be notified no later than May 23. Any questions regarding this opportunity may be directed to Heather A. Maginnis, director of Orientation and Transition Programs, at 302-831-3313 or via email at otp@udel.edu.
