Delaware State began as a school bent on service - teaching education, social services and nursing.

Typically, historical black colleges and universities like Delaware State, attracted students who were raised in an environment where going to college wasn't the next natural step after high school.

Ensuring a bright future for all our children is the responsibility of the community, the schools, families and like it or not- politicians as well.

Delaware State is no longer a college for African Americans without other choices, it is a university of choice.

When Delaware State University was founded in 1890, it was not by choice, but by social reality.

I believe it is important for the university to always remember its roots.
