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.

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.

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.
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 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.

DR. PATRICK T. HARKER UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE PRESIDENT Patrick T. Harker became the 26th president of the University of Delaware in July 2007. Concurrent with his appointment as president, Dr. Harker is a professor of Business Administration in the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics and a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering in UD’s College of Engineering. In May 2008, Dr. Harker unveiled a sweeping strategic plan, UD’s Path to Prominence, predicated on excellence in undergraduate, graduate and professional education, environmental leadership, global engagement and service to the community. He has established numerous research centers, as well as the Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships, which stimulates invention and entrepreneurship and translates UD research into economy-driving technologies. To establish Delaware as a health sciences hub, UD has partnered with the region’s leading health care providers in the Delaware Health Sciences Alliance. In February 2000, Dr. Harker was appointed dean of the Wharton School and Reliance Professor of Management and Private Enterprise. He was a senior fellow at the Wharton Financial Institutions Center and held a secondary
ERIC ZIADY UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS & RECREATION SERVICES Eric Ziady, who spent 23 years working in the highest levels of collegiate athletics administration in the Boston area, was named director of intercollegiate athletics and recreation services at the University of Delaware on Oct. 10, 2012. Ziady (pronounced “zee-aidy”), 48, a native of Andover, Mass., became just the fifth director of athletics at Delaware since 1940. Ziady arrived at Delaware after spending 14 years at Boston College - most recently as senior associate athletics director for business operations - and nine years before that at Delaware’s current Colonial Athletic Association and former America East conference rival Northeastern University. He served as assistant director of athletics at Northeastern during his final four years in Brookline. He heads a University of Delaware athletics and recreation services department that sponsors 21 intercollegiate sports, including 13 women’s sports, and annually ranks among the Colonial Athletic Association leaders in the NCAA Division I National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Directors’ Cup standings. A vibrant recreation services department sponsors over 30 club sports and over 30 intramural programs. Since his arrival at Delaware, he has seen Blue Hen teams win the CAA title and advance to the NCAA Sweet 16 in women’s basketball (2012-13); capture the CAA title and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in field hockey (2013); earn an NCAA Tournament at-large berth in men’s soccer (2013); and capture the CAA men’s basketball championship and advance to the NCAA Tournament (2013-14). During the 2013-14 athletics season, four Blue Hen head coaches earned league or regional coach of the year honors. The UD football squad, led by first-year head coach Dave Brock, went 7-5, earned several national Top 25 rankings, and fell just short of an NCAA Tournament berth in 2013. Under his guidance, Delaware has made significant strides in facility upgrades and staff enhancements. In August, 2013, the University completed a $25 million renovation and 18,000-square-foot addition project to the Carpenter Sports Building - the UD on-campus student recreation facility. Other major upgrades have included resurfacing Delaware Field House with Astroturf to make the facility the state’s premiere all-season, all-purpose venue; a $2.5 million renovation and rededication (April 27, 2014) of Bob Hannah Baseball Stadium that included the installation of a new turf field, dugouts, score-

Dr. Harker is a member of the board of directors of Pepco Holdings Inc. and Huntsman Corporation, and a founding member of the board of advisors of Decision Lens Inc. He previously served as a trustee of the Goldman Sachs Trust and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust. Dr. Harker is a Class B director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, and a member of the boards of directors of the NCAA–Division I, Christiana Care Health Systems, First State Innovation, Catholic Relief Services and Easter Seals of Delaware. He is a member of the Regional Leadership Initiative Steering Committee at the Council on Competitiveness, a member of the CEO Council for Growth at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and a trustee of Howard University. Dr. Harker received his B.S.E. and M.S.E. in Civil Engineering in 1981, an M.A. in Economics in 1983 and a Ph.D. in Civil and Urban Engineering in 1983, all from the University of Pennsylvania. When he was named UPS Transportation Professor of the Private Sector in 1991, Dr. Harker became the youngest faculty member in Wharton’s history awarded an endowed professorship. Dr. Harker has published or edited nine books and more than 100 professional articles. From 1996–99, he served as editor-in-chief of the premier journal Operations Research. President George H.W. Bush named Dr. Harker a White House Fellow in 1991, and he served from 1991–92 as a special assistant to FBI Director William S. Sessions. Dr. Harker was named a Fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) in October 2012, and a Charter Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors in December 2012. Dr. Harker is married to the former Emily Grace Saaty and is the father of three children. board, fencing, batting cages, and bullpen areas, the resurfacing of two soccer practice fields; and a new all-weather outdoor track installed this past spring. In addition, thanks to a $1.5 donation from Stuart and Suzanne Grant, the former UD Mini-Stadium will undergo extensive renovations this summer that will include new seating and a press box. The venue, home to the UD men’s and women’s soccer and women’s outdoor track & field programs, will now be known as Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium. Overall athletics fundraising has also seen significant growth during his time at UD, surpassing the $4 million mark for the first time this past year, reflecting a 91 percent increase from 2013. In addition, particular emphasis has been placed on the expansion of the alumni outreach and engagement infrastructure for all 21 of UD’s athletic programs, illustrated best by the successful $1 million campaign for the Hannah Stadium project spearheaded by former players, coaches, and staff of Delaware Baseball. Ziady also serves as the primary sport administrator for football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball. At Atlantic Coast Conference member Boston College, Ziady was responsible for handling both the longrange fiscal and strategic planning for the department as well as the day-to-day administration of all business and financial operations. In addition, he handled football game scheduling and contract administration, as well as overseeing five of the men’s and women’s athletic programs, including football. In 2010 Ziady negotiated the six-year, multi-million dollar sponsorship agreement with Under Armour that outfitted all 31 Eagle sport programs and provided financial support for the department. The sponsorship was the largest in the history of BC Athletics. Delaware also holds a sponsorship agreement with Under Armour. A 1988 Providence College graduate, Ziady earned both a master’s degree in sports management and a master’s of business administration degree from Northeastern. Ziady and his wife, Lauren, have three children, Matthew (6), Lindsey (5), and Courtney (3). Lauren earned her PhD in counseling psychology from Northeastern University in 2012.

BONNIE KENNY HEAD COACH 13TH SEASON AT DELAWARE TENNESSEE ‘84 Head coach Bonnie Kenny will begin her 13th season at the helm of the University of Delaware volleyball program in 2014. Just the fifth coach in the 41-year history of the Blue Hens, she has posted a remarkable 220154 record since arriving in Newark and reached the impressive 200-win milestone on Oct. 5, 2012 at UNCW. 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 11 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 nine times. In that time, a total of 30 UD student-athletes have been named all-conference, 19 have been named to the CAA All-Tournament team, four have earned All-American honors, eight have earned all-region honors, nine have been named CAA Player of the Year, and six have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors. From 2007 through 2011, the Blue Hens 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. 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 regular 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 back-to-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 13-1 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 seed 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. Delaware went on to draw Virginia Tech in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, held in University Park, Pa, and 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 the host Fighting Irish as well as Santa Clara. 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 became the first CAA team to capture a share of five straight league titles since George Mason (1992-96) and just narrowly missed making it six straight in 2012 before falling in five sets to Hofstra in the CAA Tournament title game.

Bonnie Kenny
VOLLEYBALL 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. For the incredible turnaround, Kenny was honored as the 2004 CAA Co-Coach of the Year. 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 12 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. While in Newark, Kenny has also made a concerted effort to recruit standout students as well as athletes. During her tenure, numerous team members have been named to the CAA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll and six have earned CoSIDA District 2 AllAcademic honors. During the 2011-12 academic year, the UD volleyball team posted the highest cumulative grade point average among all 21 Blue Hen athletics teams. Before arriving at Delaware, Kenny served as head coach at South Carolina and Massachusetts for the previous 18 seasons. Just a few months after graduating from the University of Tennessee, Kenny was named head coach of the Gamecocks in 1984. During her first season, she led the team to a 28-8 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Following eight more seasons in Columbia, S.C. during which she won 171 matches, Kenny moved on to the University of Massachusetts in 1993. She led UMass to three 20-win seasons, four semifinal appearances at the Atlantic 10 Championship, and two trips to the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC). The NIVC appearances marked the school’s first postseason bids since 1980. During the 1996 campaign, just her fourth with UMass, she led the squad to a 28-9 record, including a 15-5 mark in conference action. For her efforts, she was honored as the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year. Kenny built a tradition of success at UMass by recruiting athletes who excelled on the volleyball court and in the classroom. She coached 11 A-10 all-conference selections and three A-10 all-championship picks in her nine seasons with the Minutewomen. In 1996, Dionne Nash garnered conference Player of the Year honors.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH 13TH SEASON AT DELAWARE TENNESSEE ‘84 Cindy Gregory will begin her 13th season at the University of Delaware as head coach Bonnie Kenny’s top assistant during the 2014 season. Gregory, who was promoted to the position of associate head coach on December, 2004, also served as an assistant under Kenny during her entire tenure at the University of Massachusetts from 1995-2001. Since coming to Delaware, Gregory has helped the program recapture the glory it once had under legendary coach Barb Viera. Following four losing seasons prior to her arrival, she and Kenny have turned the Blue Hens into one of the top teams in the region. During her 12 seasons in Newark, Gregory has helped Delaware post a record of 220-154 (.588) and advance to the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament nine times. In that time, a total of 30 UD studentathletes have been named all-conference, 19 have been named to the CAA All-Tournament team, four have earned All-American honors, eight have earned all-region honors, nine have been named CAA Player of the Year, and six have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors. In addition, Kenny has been named CAA Coach of the Year four times. From 2007 through 2011, the Blue Hens 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. Along with winning the conference championship, Gregory helped the 2007 squad post a 31-5 record and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Delaware eventually became the first team from the CAA to win a set in the second round without the benefit of a first round bye. The Hens have since advanced to the NCAA Tournament in both 2008, 2010, 2011. In 2008, she and Kenny completed an amazing coaching job to guide the team to a second straight title. Despite losing the conference Player and Setter of the Year to graduation and All-Conference performer Kelly Gibson to a knee injury in the first match of the season, Gregory helped the squad overcome the losses and use a late-season run to take the championship. With the Hens’ grueling 3-2 victory over host and No. 1 seed Northeastern in the CAA Championship match, Delaware became the first team to win back-to-back titles since George Mason accomplished the feat in 2002-03. After falling in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2008, Gregory 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.
Gregory began her college career at the University of Houston where she played two seasons and led the Cougars to the 1979 and 1980 national AIAW tournaments. The 1979 squad placed fourth nationally. She moved on to Missouri State University where she played two seasons and led the team to a fifth place finish at the 1981 AIAW national tournament and to an NCAA Tournament berth in 1982. The squad also captured two Gateway Conference titles during her career. She earned her degree in physical education with a minor in biology from Missouri State in 1983 and earned a master’s degree in exercise physiology from Texas Woman’s University in 1986. She began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Tex. in 1984-86 before moving into a head coaching position at Marymount University in Arlington, Va. in 1987-89. She served as assistant coach at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. in 1989-91 and returned to the head coaching ranks at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. for the 1991-92 season. She also served a two-year stint as head coach at The MacDuffie School in Springfield, Mass. in 1990-92 while also serving at Smith and Clark. Gregory took over as head coach for men’s and women’s volleyball at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and led both teams to national prominence during her tenure in 1992-95. She guided the men’s program to a third place finish at the NCAA Division III Tournament in 1993. On the women’s side, she led MIT to the ECAC regional tournament in 1993 and to the New England Women’s Eight Conference title and an NCAA Tournament berth in 1994. She was named the New England Women’s Eight Conference Coach of the Year and New England Women’s Volleyball Association District Coach of the Year in 1993. While at Massachusetts, she teamed with Kenny to lead UMass to a seven-year record of 125-93 between 1995-2001. Massachusetts recorded five winning seasons, including marks of 28-9 in 1996 and 24-15 in 1995. The 1996 team advanced to the National Invitational Volleyball Championships in Kansas City, Mo.
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 Colonial Athletic Association in four years.

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 became the first team to capture a share of five straight league titles since George Mason (199296) and just narrowly missed making it six straight in 2012 before falling in five sets to Hofstra in the CAA Tournament title game. A native of Houston, Tex., Gregory earned 13 letters in basketball, cross country, track and field, and

Colonial Athletic Association
VOLLEYBALL The Colonial Athletic Association, which has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically, celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2014-15. The CAA encompasses many of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Charleston, S.C. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 13 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 13 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 24 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2013-14, nearly 2,000 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 30 teams in 18 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2014. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes several of the nation’s top media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Washington, D.C. (8) and Baltimore (27). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19 million. The CAA conducts championships in 22 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis and track & field. 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 2013-14, 22 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 40 student-athletes received All-America honors in 14 different sports. CAA Commissioner The conference has made its presence known nationally in Tom Yeager men’s basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) – advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past eight years. CAA teams have combined to win 43 games in postseason play since 2006, including 14 victories in the NCAA Tournament. The CAA has posted at least one NCAA Tournament win in six of the past nine years, including four of the last five. The conference has seen five or more teams reach postseason play in four of the last six seasons. In women’s basketball, CAA champion James Madison made its ninth consecutive postseason appearance and knocked off Gonzaga in the first round of last year’s NCAA Tournament. In 2013, Delaware became the 12th CAA team to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament and Drexel captured the WNIT championship with a 46-43 victory over Utah. CAA teams have gone 23-12 in postseason play over the past three years. The conference also excels in many other sports. Three men’s soccer teams earned NCAA Tournament berths last season and each current member of the conference has reached the NCAA Tournament since 2006. A pair of CAA softball teams (Hofstra and James Madison) reached the NCAA’s for the second year in a row and the Pride advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals in 2012. In baseball, College of Charleston became just the fourth No. 4 seed to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals and was the first CAA squad to accomplish that feat since 2001. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981. At least two women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament three times in the past seven years. William & Mary’s women’s cross country squad finished 12th in the 2013 NCAA Championship, while the Tribe men’s team has made the NCAA’s in 12 of the past 15 years. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship and Drexel advanced to the quarterfinals in 2014. The CAA has had at least 11 players selected in 10 of the last 12 Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also had individuals earn All-America honors in volleyball, track and field and swimming & diving last season and had players nationally ranked in tennis and golf. 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

Programs established include an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs, visiting faculty programs and a recent partnership with NBC Learn to provide educational videos to over 8,500 public schools across the United States. CAA schools are also very active in community service projects. The CAA Blood Challenge, which is held each fall, has raised nearly 40,000 units of blood over the past 12 years. The CAA Food Drive Challenge last winter resulted in over 9,500 pounds of donated food and $2,700 in cash. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when two of its current members- James Madison University and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, George Mason 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 conference. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Old Dominion University joined the CAA in 1991 and was followed 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 in 2005. College of Charleston began its first year as a CAA member in 2013 and Elon University joined the conference on July 1, 2014.

University of Delaware A leader in international education, UD offered the first study-abroad program in the world in 1923, and celebrates its 90th anniversary of study abroad in 2013. UD ranks third nationally among public doctoral institutions in study-abroad participation. More than one of every three UD undergraduate students (34.7%) studies overseas; programs are offered in nearly 50 countries. In 2010, the Education Advisory Board’s University Leadership Council cited UD’s study-abroad program as a model.
UD’s freshman retention rate, 92 percent, ranks in the 97th percentile among universities nationwide. At 77 percent, UD’s six-year graduation rate is more than 21 percentage points higher than the national average. UD’s four-year graduation rate, 61.8 percent, is nearly double the national average. UD’s Latino and African American students also graduate in numbers far higher than the U.S. average—nearly 23 percentage points higher and 18 points higher, respectively.
UD’s exceptional faculty includes internationally known authors, scientists and artists, among them a Nobel laureate, Guggenheim and Fulbright fellows, members of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering and American Association for the Advancement of Science.

University of Delaware
UD has graduated 12 Rhodes scholars since the celebrated program began in 1904. Our most recent Rhodes scholar—2011 graduate Matthew Watters—is now studying global health science at Oxford. UD also produces numerous Marshall and Truman scholars, and has been named a Truman Scholarship Honor Institution for its outstanding record of Truman scholars selected.
Many of UD’s doctoral programs were ranked among the best in the U.S. in a recent National Research Council survey that examined criteria such as student financial support, average time to degree completion, student career plans and diversity of the academic environment. UD graduate programs in physical therapy, engineering, education, business, city management, mathematics and public affairs have been recognized in recent Best Graduate Schools guides published by U.S. News Media Group.
A citation in the Princeton Review once referred to the UD campus as “absolutely the most gorgeous anywhere,” and a 2007 Washington Post story noted, “with its elegant, elongated Green, [UD] is a stunning landscape of Georgian Colonial red-brick, white-columned architecture to rival anything conceived by Thomas Jefferson.”
