Campaign Priority

Academic Excellence and Innovation

We Say Yes

Our students bring bold ideas to the table, and we want to turn more of those ideas into research, initiatives and solutions. And they graduate prepared for the next chapter of their lives, as shown by recent graduates — 98 percent were employed, pursuing a graduate degree or partaking in a serving program after graduating.

A priority of our campaign is to continue enabling UD to attract and retain exceptional faculty and develop innovative programs that enrich the student experience, setting Flyers up for success. With your support, we can invest in people and programs who will — like our Blessed Mother Mary — say yes to ideas that positively impact the world.
