Honoring our outstanding alumni


Established in 2010, the College of Arts and Sciences Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award recognizes alumni who have outstanding professional achievements while maintaining a connection to their community and to the University. Recipients are selected from nominations made by our faculty and staff, as well as members of the larger UD community. Beginning in 2019, we established the College of Arts and Sciences Young Alumni Achievement Award to acknowledge achievements of our alumni age 40 and younger​.
