THE FIGHTIN’ BLUE HENS University of Delaware's athletic teams have one of the most unique nicknames in all of college athletics – “The Fightin’ Blue Hens.” It is a name they carry with pride that stretches back over 200 years of history in the state of Delaware. The Blue Hen nickname has been continuously used by all University of Delaware intercollegiate teams since 1911. On December 9, 1775, the Continental Congress resolved that a military battalion was to be raised from the lower three counties along the Delaware River. Thus was born the Delaware Regiment, a group of eight companies representing New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties.
formed near the outset of the Revolution in January, 1776, and in August, 1781, remnants of the regiment were still battling at Eutaw Springs, SC. Although often referred to as “The Fighting Delawares,” Haslet’s regiment also won the sobriquet, “The Blue Hen Chickens,” which has become the nickname for all Delawareans. The name was formally adopted by the Delaware General Assembly in April, 1939 when the “Blue Hen Chicken” was named the official state bird. UD’s College of Agricultural Sciences maintains a breeding group of the Blue Hen Chicken on its campus farm. The UD mascot, YoUDee, made his debut in September 1993. YoUDee stands 6-foot, 8-inches tall with a 6-1 wing-span and size 28FF sneakers.
The second company was composed of men from Kent County and was under the command of Captain John Caldwell, an avid fan and owner of gamecocks. The militia often amused themselves by staging cock fights with these birds, which were of a breed known as the Kent County Blue Hen, famous for having some blue plumage.

The renown of these chickens spread rapidly during that time when cock fighting was a popular form of amusement, and the “Blue Hens’ Chickens” quickly developed a reputation for ferocity and fighting success. Capt. Caldwell's company likewise acquired a considerable reputation for its own fighting prowess in engagements with the British at Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, and Princeton, and was soon known as “the Blue Hen Chicken” company. One version of the story states that Caldwell's company rushed into battle screaming “We’re sons of the Blue Hen, and we're game to the end!” Captain Caldwell's company was part of Col. John Haslet's first Delaware regiment that

BONNIE KENNY HEAD COACH • 11TH SEASON • TENNESSEE ‘84 Head coach Bonnie Kenny will begin her 11th season at the helm of the University of Delaware volleyball program in 2012. Just the fifth coach in the 40-year history of the Blue Hens, she has posted a remarkable 195-123 record since arriving in Newark and needs just seven wins to reach the impressive 200-victory milestone. Kenny took over a program that had suffered through four straight losing seasons before she was named the head coach on Feb. 7, 2002. Since then, she has helped turn the team into one of the most successful in the region. During her 10 remarkable seasons in Newark, Kenny has led the team to a share of five Colonial Athletic Association titles, four CAA Tournament crowns, and four trips to the NCAA Tournament. She has been named the CAA Coach of the Year four times and led the team to the CAA Tournament eight times. In that time, a total of 26 UD student-athletes have been named all-conference, 16 have been named to the CAA All-Tournament team, four have earned AllAmerican honors, eight have earned all-region honors, eight have been named CAA Player of the Year, and six have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors. Entering the 2012 season, the Blue Hen volleyball squad has captured a share of five straight CAA regular season titles, won CAA Tournament championships four times, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011. The Blue Hens won first round NCAA matches in both 2007 - a first in UD history - and 2011.
PLAYER PROFILES
In 2011, the Blue Hens enjoyed another outstanding season, posting a 23-11 record, winning both the CAA regular season and tournament titles, and advancing to the NCAA Tournament where they downed American in the first round before falling to host Penn State in the second round. Delaware has become the first team to capture a share of five straight league titles since George Mason (1992-96) and in 2012 are looking to become the first team to win six straight titles since William & Mary won seven straight in 1985-91. On October 8, 2010, Kenny became the 28th active NCAA Division I head coach to reach the 500 win plateau with a 3-0 victory over VCU on Viera Court. She was honored at the 2010 Jostens Coaches Honors Luncheon in Kansas City, Mo., on December 16. The luncheon was held in conjunction with the 2010 AVCA Annual Convention. In 2007, Kenny helped guide the team to heights never reached before in Delaware history. Following a regu-

lar season that saw the team capture three tournament championships and post a 12-2 record during conference action, the Blue Hens saved their finest performance for the postseason. Prior to the CAA Championship, Kenny was named the conference Coach of the Year for the second time in her career. Boasting the CAA's top coach along with the Player, Setter, and Defensive Specialist of the Year, Delaware entered the conference championship as the No. 1 seed. Following a semifinal victory over James Madison, the Blue Hens squared off with the defending champion Hofstra Pride in the title bout. Before a capacity crowd at Viera Court, Delaware defeated Hofstra, 3-1, to capture its first CAA crown. With the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in hand, the Blue Hens headed to Queens, N.Y. for opening round action. In its first round match against Princeton, Delaware posted the conference's fourth NCAA Tournament victory after downing the Tigers, 3-1. The following night, although the team fell to 18th ranked St. John's, 3-1, the Hens became the first team from the CAA to win a game in the second round without the benefit of a first round bye. In 2008, she continued to build upon the Blue Hens’ recent success, completing a great coaching job to lead Delaware to its second straight title. Despite losing the reigning Player and Setter of the Year to graduation and All-CAA performer Kelly Gibson to a season-ending injury in the first match of the year, Kenny led the team on an incredible late-season run that culminated with the conference championship. Before the tournament got under way, Kenny was honored for her coaching successes, garnering the league’s Co-Coach of the Year award. She immediately proved why she deserved the honor, helping the No. 3 seed Hens down Towson, 3-1, in the first-round before upsetting the second-seeded VCU Rams, 3-1, in the semifinals. The following night, Delaware took on Northeastern, the host and No. 1 seed. In a grueling five-set bout, the Blue Hens prevailed, becoming the first team to win consecutive titles since George Mason won backto-back crowns in 2002 and 2003. After falling in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2008, Kenny helped guide an experienced Delaware team to its second regular-season title in three years after finishing tied atop the CAA standings with VCU in 2009. Along with a strong showing in conference action, Delaware also had a memorable night against North Carolina when the team topped the Tar Heels in a thrilling five-set match at the Bob Carpenter

Center in front of a record crowd of 2,517. Highlighted by victories over UNC as well as a slew of Big East schools, Delaware eventually finished the year ranked fifth in the East Region and 43rd in the nation. It marked the highest national finish by a team from the CAA in four years. The 2010 season marked another championship campaign as Kenny led the squad to a 26-6 overall record, finishing with a program best conference record of 131 to earn the number one seed in the tournament, and home court advantage. The Blue Hens would use that advantage through the weekend tournament, surging from a 2-1 deficit to take the 2010 crown from #3 Northeastern, 3-2, in front of a sellout crowd on Viera Court. Kenny was honored with her fourth CAA Coach of the Year award (Co-Coach in 2010) and also coached the Setter of the Year, the Defensive Specialist of the Year and saw three of her players named to the CAA first team that season. UD went on to draw Virginia Tech in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, held in University Park, Pa, home of the three-time defending national champions from Penn State. The Blue Hens dropped the opening round matchup 3-0 to the Hokies. The 2010 season was highlighted by an undefeated home record, stretching their streak to 17 straight wins on Viera Court, good enough for 11th longest in the nation to end the season. They captured the Delaware Invitational while also taking second at the Notre Dame/adidas Invitational defeating Notre Dame and Santa Clara. During her inaugural campaign in 2002, Kenny inherited a young team that featured nine freshmen and sophomores. Following a regular season that saw the team go 9-20, including 6-10 in the CAA, the Blue Hens earned the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament before bowing out to No. 3 James Madison in the quarterfinals. In Kenny's second season in 2003, the Blue Hens improved with a record of 11-17 and placed fifth in the CAA standings with a 5-9 mark, just missing a berth in the four-team CAA playoffs. Things came together in 2004 as Kenny led a talented squad to a record of 23-9 - the most wins by Delaware since 1997 - and a third-place finish in the CAA regular season standings with a 9-5 mark. The Hens upended
No. 2 seed Hofstra, 3-0, in the semifinals before falling to host and No. 1 seed Towson, 3-0, in the title match. During the regular season, the team reeled off 15 wins in 16 matches after starting the season 0-2 and also posted Tournament titles in the Delaware and Rider Invitationals.

During her 26 years as a head coach, Kenny has posted a 533-375 record for a .587 winning percentage. She enters the 2012 season ranked 24th among active NCAA Division I head coaches in victories.
After posting an 11-20 record and missing out on the CAA Tournament in 2005, Kenny helped turn things around again for the Blue Hens in 2006. Delaware posted a 21-7 record, placed fifth in the CAA regular season standings with an 11-7 mark, and advanced to the CAA Tournament semifinals before falling to host and eventual champion Hofstra. Over her 10 seasons as head coach at Delaware, Kenny has joined legendary coach Barb Viera as the only coaches to win 100 matches after notching the milestone victory against James Madison in 2007. Prior to coaching the Blue Hens, she also reached the 100-win plateau at the University of South Carolina and the University of Massachusetts.
Prior to being elected the President, she served as the Chair for both the AVCA All-America and New England Region Awards Committees during the 2003-04 season.

COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Colonial Athletic Association has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically. The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 22 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2011-12, more than 1,900 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference had 19 teams in 13 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2012. CAA COMMISSIONER The landscape of the conference Tom Yeager stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Atlanta (8), Washington, D.C. (9) and Baltimore (25). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 20 million. The CAA conducts championships in 23 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2011-12, 24 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 51 student-athletes received All-America honors in 16 different sports. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) – advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past six years. Three CAA teams earned NCAA Tournament berths for the first time in 2011 as conference champion Old Dominion was joined by VCU and George Mason. VCU knocked off USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and top-seeded Kansas, while Mason defeated Villanova. In 2006, George Mason captured the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, posting victories over Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. At least five CAA teams have reached postseason play for the past four years. The CAA has also had great success in women’s basketball, with six teams making the postseason in 2011-12. Conference champion Delaware advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time and was ranked #7 in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll. James Madison beat two ACC and two Big East teams to reach the championship game of the WNIT. Drexel, Hofstra, UNCW and VCU joined the Dukes in the WNIT. Old Dominion, which won an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles from 1992-2008, boasts three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997. The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981 and ODU reached the national semifinals in 2011. Four men’s soccer teams earned NCAA Tournament berths last season and James Madison became the seventh CAA team to reach the final 16 of the event in the past decade. Hofstra’s softball team won the Los Angeles Regional and became the first CAA squad to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals. At least two women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the past five seasons. William & Mary’s men’s cross country squad has made the NCAA Championship in 12 of the past 13 years. In the pool, George Mason’s Ashley Danner finished second in the 100 breaststroke and fifth in the 200 breaststroke at the 2012 NCAA Championship and received All-

Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. On the track, Mason’s David Verburg placed fourth in the 400 meters at the NCAA Championship. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball Championship in nine of the last 15 years and has had at least 12 players selected in the eight of the last 10 Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-Americans in lacrosse, tennis, golf, women’s lacrosse and wrestling. CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs that have been established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason University, James Madison University, and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005.

THE UNDERGRADUATES Maintaining an exciting academic environment requires not only outstanding and dedicated professors, but talented students willing to accept academic challenge. By national standards, the University's student body is well qualified: the average SAT scores are well above the national average. Students entering the University typically average nearly 1,200 on the SAT. Over 70 percent maintained an average of B or better during their high school years; and the University attracts more national merit scholars then most comparable institutions and more than some Ivy League schools. MAJOR PROGRAMS With eight distinct undergraduate colleges offering 124 degree programs from which to choose, Delaware allows study in everything from accounting to agriculture, English to engineering, philosophy to physical therapy. The approved list of University courses totals over 4,000. Although University of Delaware class sizes can range from a minimum of one (independent study) to a lecture class of 300, more than 70 percent of class sections have fewer than 30 students. Classes are usually organized to include small-group discussions and the average class size is between 24 to 38 with the faculty-to-student ratio approximately 1 to 16. Students who choose Delaware are obviously impressed by what they find here. The average five-year graduation is almost 75 percent and the average retention rate for students from the freshman to the sophomore year is 89 percent. Additionally, approximately 90 percent of University of Delaware athletic letterwinners graduate with a degree.

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE • UD was rated a “best value” in the 2003 edition of Kaplan’s The Unofficial, Unbiased Insider’s Guide to the 320 Most Interesting Colleges. • The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) gave UD’s professional education programs an outstanding evaluation after visiting the campus in the fall of 2003. The team studied the overall organization of professional education and reviewed all UD’s programs that educate prospective teachers, administrators and school psychologists. Only about a third of the institutions offering professional education programs in the nation are NCATE accredited, and only about 20 NCATE-approved institutions have achieved an assessment as strong as the University of Delaware's. In addition, UD’s secondary social studies program in teacher education earned high praise from the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS). Reviewers there were so impressed with the program that they asked permission to share the report on it with other universities as a model. • UD’s Elementary Teacher Education Program received top ratings from the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), the specialty organization of the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, the only accrediting organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education. The ACEI report said, in part, “The overall assessment plan was well done…as most universities/colleges are beginning their assessment plans, the University of Delaware is probably ahead of most. Very well done.” • The school psychology graduate program in the College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy’s (CHEP) was named one of the best in the nation by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). The three-year, specialist-level graduate program was scrutinized by NASP as part of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accreditation process. Of all programs evaluated in fall 2003, UD’s was the only one to receive an ‘A’ in every area evaluated, and according to NASP, that is “extremely rare.” Only 57 percent of the reviewed programs received full approval. • UD’s Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management was ranked seventh among the top 25 hospitality programs in the country, tying with one of the oldest such programs in the nation and placing ahead of many well-known programs. The survey, published in 2002 in the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Education, gave UD high marks for its faculty, curriculum and students. Vita Nova, the restaurant in the Trabant University Center run by HRIM students, won the honor for best lunch buffet in Delaware Today’s 2004 Best of Delaware competition. One of the most popular restaurants in Newark, Vita Nova is consistently booked well in advance. • In the 2005 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Graduate Schools,” three UD graduate programs were ranked among the top 10 in the nation: physical therapy, fourth; and urban affairs and chemical engineering, both ranked ninth. In the 2006 edition, chemical engineering held on to its ninth place ranking, the College of Engineering was ranked 42nd and the School of Education was ranked 39th. • Careers and Colleges Magazine selected UD as one of its “Cool Schools,” calling it “academically rigorous” and one of the “underrated gems” among American colleges and universities.

• Alumni and friends value UD–UD’s first major capital campaign, the Campaign for Delaware, which began in 1998 as a five-year, $225 million fund-raising effort, far surpassed its original goal and generated more than $431 million. Since its inception, the Campaign has targeted key areas for funding: academic support through undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, discovery-based learning initiatives, improved library facilities, faculty support through endowed chairs and named professorships, facilities, equipment and unrestricted general support. The Campaign for Delaware has been successful in all these aspects and has, for example, made it possible to increase the number of endowed faculty positions from fewer than 10 to 106. University investments are now in excess of $1 billion, as recognized in a 2006 report of the National Association of College and University Business Officers. • Recognition by our peers–Some of the most influential groups in higher education today have great things to say about UD: • “Better than any University we are familiar with, Delaware has a clear sense of what it wants to be, namely, a University that offers a high quality undergraduate education with targeted areas of excellence in graduate education and research…. Today, the University is seen as a national model for the integration of information technology in every aspect of University life: teaching and learning, research and service, academic support and campus administration….” The evaluation team wrote that “these substantial achievements could not have happened without extraordinary leadership from the senior administration.” — Middle States Commission on Higher Education, April 2001 • “For several years now, both the members of the Boyer Commission and Reinvention Center constituents have been impressed and even inspired by the examples set by the University of Delaware in the reform and enrichment of undergraduate education. [UD’s Undergraduate Research Program is] one of the best in the country.” —Wendy Katkin, director of The Reinvention Center–The State University of New York at Stony Brook • Beautiful and well-maintained campus–UD was singled out by The Chronicle of Higher Education as an institution dedicated to maintaining and preserving its campus, in contrast to the national problem of deteriorating facilities for higher education. Descriptions of UD in college guides invariably mention the beauty of the campus: The Princeton Review said that “the majority of UD students are pleased with the quality of life on campus and rave about ‘absolutely the most gorgeous campus anywhere.’” The Fiske Guide to Colleges wrote that UD has “all that the traditional college portrait entails: solid academics, rowdy athletic traditions, Northeastern beauty and all. Delaware’s spacious 1,000-acre campus is an attractive mix of Colonial and modern geometric buildings.”
• Undergraduate research at UD is a national model–At any given time, at least 600-700 undergraduates are actively involved in research on the UD campus. Two-thirds of the faculty—and 90 percent of the engineering and science faculty—regularly work with undergraduates in research. Each year, about 300 undergraduate researchers present papers and posters at UD's Undergraduate Research Symposium, and undergraduates are routinely included as authors or co-authors with their faculty mentor on about 50-60 professional publications and presentations each year. Several students have gone on to receive national recognition for their work. • Leading by example–The EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) features the University of Delaware in a 2004 case study about campuses that are highly regarded for their ability to align Information Technologies efforts and investments with institutional goals and priorities. • Responsible behavior –The University of Delaware’s aggressive campaign to fight binge drinking has won it national attention. Since the beginning of the campaign, surveys on high-risk drinking conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health show significant declines in destructive behaviors by UD students. Data indicate that students are drinking alcohol more moderately, drinking alcohol with the express purpose of getting drunk has decreased, fewer students report having hangovers, missing classes and doing something they later regret and there has been a decrease in incidents in which students were insulted by others, became involved in serious arguments or quarrels, were hit or assaulted, had personal property damaged, had their sleep or study interrupted, were expected to “baby-sit” a drunken friend or experienced an unwanted sexual advance. • In 2004, the Education Development Center’s Center for College Health and Safety presented its Presidents Leadership Group Award to UD President David P. Roselle in recognition of the fact that UD was the first in the country to adopt a policy of parental notification when students break campus rules, particularly if they involve potentially dangerous activities. • Supportive parents –Parents of UD students put their money where their pride is! The Council in Aid of Education recently released a report

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE that ranks the University of Delaware number one nationally in giving by parents of students and alumni to a public university. • Marine excellence–UD’s College of Marine and Earth Studies earned high honors from a national Sea Grant college review team that, after a campus visit, said the UD program is “in all respects considered excellent.” UD’s program is “unique and one of a kind in terms of its administrative structure within the University, its management, its high level of research, its outreach and its translation of science to its constituents,” the team wrote.

• Accreditation–The Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics is one of only 400 institutions throughout the world accredited by AACSB International, the premier accrediting agency for bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in business and accounting programs. Other agencies that accredit UD programs include the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology Inc.; the American Dietetic Association, Commission on Accreditation/Approval for Dietetics Education; the American Physical Therapy Association, Commission on Accreditation in Education; the American Psychological Association, Committee on Accreditation; the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education; the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences; the National Association of Schools and Music, Commission on Accreditation; the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education; and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.
The Student Services for Athletes Program is designed to assist student-athletes to make the best possible academic and personal adjustment to the University of Delaware. The University is committed to both the academic and athletic excellence of all student-athletes. The coordinator of Student Services for Athletes works closely with coaches, faculty, and student services personnel to help student-athletes balance the demands of their academic responsibilities and participation in Blue Hen athletics. The Student Services for Athletes Program sponsors a fall orientation session for all new Blue Hen student-athletics.This session introduces students to information about the academic, administrative, social, and athletic community at the University of Delaware. In addition to orientation, workshops focusing on academic, personal, and career development are offered throughout the year. When a student-athlete discovers the need for assistance outside the classroom, he or she is assisted in obtaining a tutor at no personal cost. Advisement about how best to use tutoring time is also provided. The Student Services for Athletes Program monitors the academic progress of all Blue Hen athletes. Faculty provide information about current grades, class standing, and the nature of any difficulty a student-athlete may be encountering. If problems are discovered, individual conferences are held to develop strategies for alleviating them. There are times when a student-athlete may need help not directly provided by the Student Services for Athletes Program. When this occurs the coordinator of the program will assist the student-athlete in obtaining the best service from the most appropriate office on campus. Frequent referrals are made to academic advisement centers, the Center for Counseling, and the Academic Studies Assistance Program. The Student Services for Athletes Program is committed to having Blue Hen athletes become champions in the classroom as well as on the field.

THE WRITING CENTER The Writing Center provides a place for students to seek help regarding any paper, thesis or writing project. Full-time professors are available at the center to assist the student free of charge.
• When the Founding Fathers were young–The University of Delaware traces its origins to a small private academy founded by the Rev. Francis Alison in 1743. The Rev. Alison’s first class was a remarkable one, possibly the most distinguished of any other class in any school in America. The class of 10 went on to become statesmen, merchants and scholars of reputation. Three of them--George Read, Thomas McKean and James Smith—signed the Declaration of Independence, and Mr. Read also signed the Constitution. Those three names are being memorialized on three new residence halls on the Laird Campus, one of which, George Read Hall, opened for the 2005-06 academic year. • Genius Award-winners–Two UD alumni have won the prestigious MacArthur Fellowships—the so-called “genius award.” Jacqueline Jones, a 1970 graduate who is now Truman Professor of American Civilization and chair of the Department of History at Brandeis University, won the award in 1999, and Charles Lewis, a 1975 graduate and founder and executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Public Integrity, received the honor in 1998. Peter Jeffery, an assistant professor of music at UD from 1984-87, received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1987.
