About this Project

The UD Alumni Association (UDAA) believes installing a Blue Hen statue on campus is a great way to support the University’s vision and mission. It is also consistent with UDAA’s values of “Connect, Inspire, Serve and Celebrate” as the UD community strives to make the University of Delaware best-in-class in all aspects.  

A Blue Hen Statue will provide a place for photo opportunities for students, alumni and friends to share and show their “Blue Hens Forever” pride.

How your support makes a difference!

Your gift represents a "Birds of a Feather" mentality, the coming together of many Blue Hens to help the UDAA commission an artist, produce a high-quality bronze statue and install it at a prominent location on campus.
