Delaware State University

Delaware State University (also referred to as Del State or DESU), is an American historically black, public university located in Dover, Delaware, with two satellite campuses in Wilmington, Delaware, and Georgetown, Delaware. With approximately 3,700 students, it is the second-largest university in the state (behind the University of Delaware) and encompasses six colleges and a diverse population of undergraduate and advanced-degree students. The institution was established as the State College for Colored Students, on May 15, 1891, by the Delaware General Assembly under the provisions of the Morrill Act of 1890 under which land-grant colleges for blacks came into existence in states maintaining separate educational facilities. Through the conservative and practical planning of a board of trustees appointed by Governor Robert J. Reynolds of Delaware, the college was launched upon its mission of education and public service on February 2, 1892. Five courses of study leading to a bachelor's degree were offered: agricultural, chemical, classical, engineering, and scientific.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
