New Committee Positions
The UD DC Alumni Club is growing and we need your help! For those of you that want to help but don't have a lot of time, we've created two committees: the Social Committee and the University Committee. The Social Committee will help plan and run happy hours, game watches, cultural and similar events. The University Committee will help with our new community service and other UD engagements.
Committees are the easiest way to bring new ideas to the club as our membership is rapidly growing. If you have an interest, please email alumnet@udel.edu.
Special congrats to the DC Alumni Club Volleyball team which won the league championship on March 11!
Coach (and team MVP) Travis Pincoski '08 led the team to the final for the 2nd straight season, and avenged a heart-breaking loss in the 2011 final. This was the first championship for any of our Blue Hen DC sports teams. We could not be more excited and proud!
