From world-class professors, to the discovery experience in research, the opportunity to interact with students from different cultures, and a culture of good corporate citizenship, doctoral and master’s students in numerous fields describe why UD has been the right choice for their graduate education.
The production, which runs eight minutes and 40 seconds and is now available on YouTube, is organized by the pillars of UD’s “Dare to be first” brand, including Idea Leadership, Talent Magnet, Discovery Learning, East Coast Classic, Citizen University and Smart Money. The students also define what “Dare to be first” means to them.
“UD’s excellence in graduate and professional education is increasingly becoming recognized around the world,” says Charlie Riordan, vice provost for graduate and professional education. “We have an excellent and increasingly diverse graduate student body. These students are major contributors to research and scholarship and will become tomorrow’s leaders. We encourage the UD community to share this video with prospective students, colleagues, friends and family.”
The video was produced by University Media Services in cooperation with the Office of Communications and Marketing.
