Delaware State began as a school bent on service - teaching education, social services and nursing.

When Delaware State University was founded in 1890, it was not by choice, but by social reality.

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

I could not agree more. The students of Delaware State often looked to the school as their chance, their hand up, their hope. And they gave their all.

Delaware State is no longer a college for African Americans without other choices, it is a university of choice.

This is a value-added college education if I have heard one described. And what is the most remarkable about Delaware State University graduates - is they just keeping giving back.
