University of Delaware Alumni

Today is National Best Friends Day and we want to know: did you meet your ride-or-die at UD? 🫶

The UD Magazine is looking for alumni connections that go far beyond meeting on campus and remaining close years later.

Is your story especially gripping or hilarious or intense? Maybe you reunited after a major disaster, donated a kidney to keep your former roommate alive, collaborated in an unlikely field or were transformed by an extraordinary experience with a fellow Blue Hen.

Does that sound like you or someone you know? Shoot an email to [email protected]!
