Once a Blue Hen, always a Blue Hen! Even though graduation is in the rearview, we hope you and your Blue Hen will stay in touch with the University and enjoy the benefits, resources and programming available to our alumni and friends. Being a Blue Hen comes with many perks, and there are ways for the whole family to stay connected to UD even after graduation.

Here’s a few resources for you and your graduate to stay connected to the UD community.

Remind Your Blue Hen About Alumni Benefits

The University of Delaware and the UD Alumni Association (UDAA) are proud to offer a variety of benefits and services to our UD alumni. Make sure your graduate knows all about them!

These perks include memberships to the Carpenter Sports Building (Little Bob), access to discounted UD Professional and Continuing Studies (PCS) classes, as well as credit cards and banking services.

Promote Job Success with Career Resources

UD tools and resources are here to help your graduate get ready for the next phase of their career. Students and recent graduates who are still job searching can continue to utilize Career Services for all their needs. This assistance is available in part thanks to generous and talented people in our own Blue Hen community. Did you know you can share your time to help current Blue Hen students advance their professional development? Find a job, network, mentor students, post internship and job opportunities and more with UD career resources!
