wall college remember
I remember coming to this college in the 1960s as a new legislator when a road divided the campus - and it was not fully paved at that - and no wall defined the campus from the highway.
sacrifice trying debt
Repaying the debt of these ultimate sacrifices seems nearly impossible but we must try.
teaching school nursing
Delaware State began as a school bent on service - teaching education, social services and nursing.

Delaware State is no longer a college for African Americans without other choices, it is a university of choice.
children responsibility school
Ensuring a bright future for all our children is the responsibility of the community, the schools, families and like it or not- politicians as well.

And the university's reputation will only continue to grow as stories like Elaine's are spread. Delaware State University's motto 'a past to honor, a future to insure,' couldn't be any more fitting for this transitional period you are going through.

Upon arriving, meeting their teachers and signing up for classes, these students began to realize that their attendance at Delaware State University was not a goal achieved, but rather a dream being sewn - a first step, if you will.

Working together we can strengthen Delaware State University and the students who attend it.

Through the years you, the Delaware State family and your predecessors, have faced many challenges. You worked through them with fierce determination and good will, and you have made great progress.

Just the example Delaware State University graduates set by the way they live their lives, should be an inspiration to other high school students to go to Delaware State.

I believe it is important for the university to always remember its roots.
school college historical
Typically, historical black colleges and universities like Delaware State, attracted students who were raised in an environment where going to college wasn't the next natural step after high school.
appreciation school climbing
By climbing a steeper road, the value and appreciation Delaware State students took and continue to take from their education and their experiences is just as great, if not greater, than students attending ivy league schools.
