The University of Delaware has a great tradition of excellence and stands at a critical milestone in our history. With roots reaching back to 1743, we now are a community of 16,661 undergraduates, 3,670 graduate students, 1,200 faculty, and alumni, who excel in diverse fields in all corners of the world.
Today, we are setting out on a new path designed to engage closely with the critical issues of our day, to increase the global impact of the University, and to raise its prominence in the world. This strategic plan, which charts our Path to Prominence?, is part of a continuing University conversation. As a premier research and graduate university, the University of Delaware has the opportunity, and obligation, to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and to marshal that knowledge for the benefit of humanity.
A leader in international education, UD offered the first study-abroad program in the world in 1923. Our alumni tell our story of achievement, from our first class, which included three signers of the Declaration of Independence and one signer of the U.S. Constitution to the more than 151,000 living Blue Hens who are making vital contributions to the world ? notable alums include U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill; New Jersey Governor Chris Christie; Tony Award-winner Susan Stroman; current Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco; the inventor of Gore-Tex, Robert Gore; Wayne Westerman, whose revolutionary computer technology, based on human touch, is used in Apple?s iPhone as well as other products; and David Plouffe, chief strategist for President Barack Obama?s 2008 presidential campaign.
