Delaware Decision Days

Saturdays in April.

Delaware Discovery Days

Delaware Discovery Days is UD’s biggest recruitment event of the year, at which rising HS seniors and their parents visit campus to see what majors and opportunities we offer. Each of our College's departments--and in some cases, majors--has a table, where faculty will be talking with the guests. Having alumni participation at these tables is invaluable, as families are eager to hear firsthand about career opportunities.

If you are willing to assist in staffing your major's table on any of the Discovery Days, please Email kra@udel.edu with the dates you are available. A confirmation will be sent the week before the scheduled date.

Other Opportunities

Anything is possible. If you have an idea on how to help us attract students, please email kra@udel.edu.

Some thoughts…

1. Write or call admitted students. We’ll handle the logistics; we just need your words, your name and your position to help convince students that a major in Agriculture and Natural Resources is a stepping stone to a bright future. Let us know if you’d be willing to do this in the spring.

2. Bring students to campus. Load up your daughter and her friends, organize a field trip for a class at a local school, or escort a neighbor to Newark for the day. We’ll set up an informative and enjoyable visit, including a campus tour, a College of Ag tour, meetings with students and faculty, and even lunch in the dining hall! Just call or Email…we’ll set it up year round.

3. Referrals. Anytime you meet someone who might be a candidate for our College, please contact us. We will follow up with the student, send them information, and invite them to campus. Many of our current students are here only because of the guidance they received from alumni.
