150 students honored as Women of Promise 4:59 p.m., Dec. 14, 2005--Robin W. Morgan, dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, told students attending UD’s recent Women of Promise dinner that they are “egg-ceptional” and so she focused her dinner speech on the egg. Morgan asked the students whether they thought white eggs or brown eggs were healthier. She told them the eggs are actually the same on the inside. The color on the outside is genetic, but both eggs are of the same quality and have the same nutritional value. Then, Morgan explained that her speech wasn’t really about eggs at all. “People might look different on the outside, but inside they're pretty much the same, and the inside is what matters,” she said. “Whenever you meet someone, particularly someone who doesn't look like you, doesn't dress like you, doesn't speak like you, or doesn't think like you, remember the egg. When you think you are serious about picking a partner to share your life with, remember the egg.” The Women of Promise dinner originated 25 years ago as an opportunity for tenured women faculty to get to know students they feel have strong academic promise. “It’s really to provide networking and mentoring relationships, to give the students an opportunity to hear a distinguished speaker from the University and to interact with other students of promise,” Donna Tuites, counselor in the Office of Women’s Affairs, said. The Women of Promise for 2005 are: seniors Alicia Adams, Krista Bathurst, Jamie Beck, Allison Behrle, Rebecca Boyer-Andersen, Heather Brackin, Ashley Bram-Johnson, Karin Burghardt, Sarah Burrows, Colleen Carey, Joanna Champney, Kimberly Coles, Julia Coombs, Kimberly Crozier, Jacqueline Dobrzyn, Erica Elfenbein, Kristen Elli, Gina Esposito, Jodi Fertoli, Emily Gup, Lydia Henry, Christina Infiesta, Charlene Kemmerle, Audrey Kingston, Kelly Ann Law, Virginia Lennon, Valeska Mancilla, Manya Mankiewicz, Christina Nichols, Yana Novikova, Abigail Rosenthalis, Katy Sharpe, Maia Tatinclaux, Erin Thorne, Holly Ann Ungerbuehler and Caitlin Wheeler; juniors Elizabeth Barriga, Angela Boom, Samantha Brady, Marissa Brown, Emily Burnham, Kathleen Costello, Stephanie Coupe Stacey Dykes, Gretchen Eisenhower, Catherine Elderkin Lauren Feehan, Amy Gobeil, Alena Koshansky, Alison Lubar, Alissa Mann, Claire Miraglia, Natalia Moena, Morgan Mordecai, Jamie Moyer, Krista Neal, Ayeley Okine, Meredith Perry, Sarah Rosenthal, Stephanie Scholl, Katherine Vermylen, Elizabeth Way and Kristin Zanoni; sophomores Gloria Amakobe, Carolynn Brosch, Danielle Delaney, Lisa Diker, Elizabeth Foster, Heather Galada, Keri Gelotte, Allison Goodman, Alison Gordon, Megan Kehrel, Amanda Kilby Micaella Mercado, Ashley Olivieri, Sarah Quigg, Katie Sear, Ashley Vent, Mary Wioncek and Sarah Woody; and freshman Ashley Ridolfi.
