Named for the year to which UD traces its roots, this celebration is designed within the Division of Student Life by the Orientation & Transition Programs team to support a successful transition for each student. 2021 Fall 1743 Welcome Days will offer a variety of events on campus between August 26 - August 31.
Students will have a wide variety of opportunities to connect with their new community, explore all that UD has to offer, and consider how they will contribute during their time as a Blue Hen. We ask that you help encourage your student to participate and make the most of their 1743 Welcome Days experience.
