Perhaps the University of Delaware's newest graduates haven't yet been named Super Bowl MVP, but they've certainly accomplished so much during their time at UD … with infinite possibilities ahead.
Blue Hen pride was overflowing at Delaware Stadium as UD celebrated its newest class of graduates at the annual Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 25.
With an enthusiastic crowd of about 20,000 in the stands and on the field, UD President Dennis Assanis began by lauding the accomplishments of the Class of 2024 while also acknowledging the hardships they have faced. Many in this year's graduating class started their journeys at UD during the height of the pandemic. For most, it was also their first in-person graduation ceremony, as multiple high school graduation ceremonies were canceled in the spring of 2020.
