Avi Amon ‘08 and Drew Rifkin, UD Admissions’ version of the Duke Brothers, are working on a new video and they want your help to create it. Needs are voices, dancers, musicians, performers, film production peeps and social media/marketing experts.
Check out the Facebook group below to get the skinny on Delaware – THE MUSICAL which is about why kids should choose UD. To quote, “Think Enchanted, meets the University of Delaware alma-mater and other relevant/hilarious things about UD, meets awesome.”
Are you looking for welding supplies, forklifts, compressors, heating and cooling equipment, back up generators or air tanks?
If so, head on down to the University of Delaware’s latest acquisition – the former Chrysler site on South College Avenue!
UD will be hosting an auction of former assets of the Newark Chrysler automotive fabrication, assembly plant and distribution center. Items to be sold will be available for inspection from Feb. 22-24 between 9 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the site of the former auto plant.
The auction, conducted by the Great American Group, will be held on Thursday, Feb. 25, beginning at 10 a.m., at the University’s Clayton Hall, off Route 896 in Newark.
A new, albeit odd, crime wave has struck Newark and the UD Alumni Relations Blog thinks it’s a shoe-in for one of weirdest crimes of the year.
(queue creepy music)
Targeting homes of University of Delaware students (probably assuming they are not home due to winter break), the burglar is stealing only men’s shoes and photographs of men.
Yes, you read that correctly, loyal reader – only men’s shoes and photographs of men.
According to Newark police, most of the typical burglary items were not stolen which is certainly good. That said, we’re not sure if we like the idea of some creep sneaking around taking our Pumas from our closet and our family photos from our wall.
We don’t really have much else to contribute to this as we’re still a bit stunned that something this bizarre is actually going on. We’ll keep you updated, loyal reader, as this story unfolds.
After we were assured that this was not the beginning of the alien invasion, we stop screaming long enough to realize the new surface looked pretty cool. Having always wanted to be slimed throughout our childhoods, falling on green ice was pretty close for the blog.
Painting the ice took 15 hours and James Kaden, manager of UD’s ice arenas, said, “Everyone was excited about painting the ice for the holidays. If this is well received, we may look to expand to other events and/or holidays.”
May we humbly suggest going with hot pink or a flames motif in the future.
Thanksgiving is in the rearview and now the true American holiday, pre-Christmas Shopping Season, is upon us. Not wanting to get left behind, the UD Alumni Relations Blog will be bringing you, loyal reader, all kinds of gift ideas that will make you the toast of the family when the presents are opened.
If you’re looking to do a good deed and get a piece of classic clothing, check out the Dominoes Pizza “Avoid the Noid” T-shirts at www.noidtshirt.com. Dominoes is bringing back Noid, their mascot from the 1980s, in t-shirt form to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – every T-shirt sale will contribute all profits, at least $14 of the $19.99 retail price, to St. Jude’s Thanks and Giving campaign to raise money for the children’s hospital’s pediatric research and treatment centers.
The UD Alumni Relations Blog cheers the return of the Noid even though we’re not quite sure what it is. In fact we’re big fans of strange corporate mascots and we hope to see the return of Frito Bandito, Fruit Pie the Magician and the Taco Bell chihuahua. After all, the Noid is one celebrity endorser that will never crash his car after being chased by a jilted, golf club-wielding wife. Hey ohh!

The UD Alumni Relations Blog is a trend-setting, style guru for sure. We’re stopped on the street on a daily basis and asked about our clothes, hair, skin, availability, etc. We’re like a muse for the Sartorialist.
But it appears that we’re not the only Blue Hen setting trends. Laurie March ‘01 is a project manager and interior designer in LA who was featured in Lucky magazine’s December issue. Laurie was featured in “Insider Picks” (page 146). The section gives readers an opportunity to climb into the minds of cool hunters and tastemakers — and get their favorite tricks and products.
Winter Session is fast approaching which means study abroad for many lucky UD students. Costa Rica, London, Tokyo, South Africa, Peru, China, Germany, Australia – Blue Hens are there taking classes.
With over 80 programs offered in more than 40 subjects in over 45 countries UD is one of the world leaders in study abroad.
The UD Alumni Relations Blog is a big believer in study abroad. It’s not only a wonderful experience, it’s an adventure of a lifetime. You never know, maybe you’ll be like the lucky maker of the video below who found love while studying abroad in Paree.
The University of Delaware Alumni Relations Blog has long warned that the squirrels of Newark are the most ferocious and fearless in the world and it would only be a matter of time before they overran the city’s humans and set up a new order with nuts as the main currency.
We’ve pleaded with students, alumni and friends of UD to remain vigilant against this Sciuridaen threat and now it appears that the squirrel army has made their first move.
Thankfully power was restored in less than an hour, but we’re quite sure this is just the first strike in the Great Squirrel Uprising. Stay vigilant, Blue Hens!!

Watching UD alumnus Joe Flacco lead the Baltimore Ravens to victory last weekend, the UD Alumni Relations Blog’s heart swelled with pride. One of our own Blue Hens was starring on national tv, representing the University of Delaware in front of millions.
While the great work being done by the UD Community can’t be broadcast into homes across the nation like Flacco’s is, we can all certainly represent UD like he does.
UD Baltimore alumni have happy hour on Thursday and are looking for Blue Hens to play kickball, check it - http://bit.ly/cut2mw22 hours ago
@babyfried sorry that you're going to miss it - we're sure another one will be coming soon 3 days ago
