These are exciting times at University of Delaware! My first year has flown by. The 13,000-square-foot Design Studio has been fully renovated and is a bustling center of activity involving our undergraduates in hands-on experiences integrated throughout our curriculum. Kudos to professor Jenni Buckley and associate professor Alex De Rosa, as well as Whitney Sample, Shane McFoy and all the staff for weathering all of the construction. Such remarkable projects don’t happen on their own, and I’d like to thank all of the alumni who contributed generously to make this happen.
