Presidential Citation for Outstanding Achievement
Eight University of Delaware alumni were honored as recipients of the Presidential Citation for Outstanding Achievement during a ceremony held Friday afternoon, Nov. 11, in the Roselle Center for the Arts, as part of Homecoming Weekend festivities.
UD President Patrick Harker -- who was introduced by Cindy Campanella, director of alumni relations -- welcomed the honorees and their guests and noted that all seven colleges at the University were represented among the Presidential Citation recipients.
“These distinguished alumni join a small fraternity of 219 members among 155,000 Blue Hens across the country and around the world,” Harker said. “The award was conceived to recognize extraordinary achievement and dedicated service, and when the two coexist, we think it’s worthy of a Presidential Citation.”
