2012 DSU SOCCER OUTLOOK

Despite winning just two games last sea-son, the 2012 Delaware State University women’s soccer team has high expecta-tions for the upcoming season. The Hor-nets, who have seven newcomers to their roster, lost just two starters and return 12 players.

Additionally, a change in the coaching ranks puts former assistant coach Peter Hulem at the helm as the interim head coach.

“We’re returning a strong core this sea-son,” remarked Hulem. “Our four seniors are experienced and want to end their DSU careers on top. We have a good group of girls and we’re ready to embark on a successful year.”

Del State looks to continually improve their record as the squad posted a 2-15-2 overall record and were 1-4-1 in the Great West Conference in 2011. The one con-ference win was the first GWC victory in DSU history and it came in exciting fash-ion, knocking off the conference’s best in Utah Valley, 2-1, at Alumni Stadium.

Topping the list of returners for the Hor-nets are seniors Jeanette Salgado (Ber-genfield, N.J.) and Candace Wyre (Smyrna, Del.) and sophomore Chelsea Boursiquot (Stratford, Conn.). The trio combined for 19 points last season, including eight goals.

GOALKEEPERSDespite her age, DSU returns arguably the best goalkeeper in the conference in sophomore Katelyn Koslosky (East Islip, N.Y.). Koslosky led the GWC and finished 24th in the nation with 113 saves (6.65 pg) as a true freshman, good for fourth all-time on the DSU single season and

career saves list, despite missing the first two games of the year with an injury. She also posted three shutouts on the season.

“Katelyn has shown to be a consistent player on the field and has proven her worth time and time again as a dynamic individual that will help this program find success,” Hulem commented.

Backing Koslosky up will be freshman Mekayla McAdoo (New Castle, Del.). McA-doo joins the Hornets from Concord High School where she was a three-time All-Conference Second Team selection. As a senior, McAdoo was named the team MVP.

DEFENDERSLeading the Del State defensive corps are returning juniors Katie Melore (New Windsor, N.Y.) and Darcy Pelz-Butler (Sil-ver Spring, Md.). Pelz-Butler recorded five points during the 2011 campaign, in-cluding two goals. She also posted a .800 shots-on-goal percentage.

“Darcy and Katie will be returning with plenty of experience and their develop-ment over the past two years will help our defense maintain its shape in the back,” Hulem stated. “They will also need to look

Also returning is sophomore Lauren Price (Bayside, N.Y.). Price saw action in 12 games last season and posted three shots, one on goal.

The Hornets will welcome freshman new-comer Taylor Addison (Mt. Vernon, N.Y.) and Caitlin LaFountain (Dover, DE) to the team for the 2012 campaign.

“As we have acquired two new forwards this year and a heightened emphasis in the offensive third, I trust that our for-wards will have an even greater impact on the matches this season,” said Hulem. “For the work they have already put in during the summer and preseason, their efforts will show soon.”

MIDFIELDERSAnother strong suit for Del State will be the midfield as the team returns five up-perclassmen and a sophomore.

2012 DSU SOCCER OUTLOOK

to find ways to get involved in the offense as well, when the opportunities are avail-able.

Also returning on the defensive end is sophomore Taylor Melton (Havre de Grace, Md.). Melton finished the year with one point on one assist.

Joining the trio for the 2012 season is sophomore Kaitlyn Corder and freshmen Morgan Durham (Clayton, N.J.) and Julia Bossert (Kendall Park, N.J.).

A three-sport varsity athlete at Clayton High School, Durham helped lead her soccer team to two Tri-County Confer-ence Championships. Additionally, Dur-ham was a two-time Tri-County All-Star. She finished her time at CHS with 25 ca-reer goals and 28 career assists.

Valente comes to the Hornets with eight career goals and 16 career assists through three seasons at Mark T. Sheehan High School. She missed her junior year with an injury.

Hulem continued regarding his defense, “With the return of five defenders from the 2011 season, I am confident that our back line will be able to keep us in the matches for this coming season. We have added a few new faces to the defense and I believe their work together has the po-tential to exceed the previous years.

The Hornets will be led by Salgado, who finished second on the team in 2011 with seven points on three goals and one as-sist. The senior tallied a .524 shots-on-goal percentage in all 18 games played.

Another key to DSU’s success will be ju-niors Kelly Pelz-Butler (Silver Spring, Md.) and Kaitlyn Schech (Abingdon, Md.) and senior Kelsey Gibson (Elizabethtown, N.J.). The trio combined for eight points on three goals and two assists. Gibson led the way with a .714 shots-on-goal percentage.

Also returning for Delaware State is soph-omore Gabi Pinto (Bear, Del.). Pinto saw limited time in 2011 as she recovered from an injury.

Joining the Hornets for their freshman seasons are Danielle Valente (Walling-ford, Conn.) and Tere’ Crawford (Dover, Del.).

“Our midfield this year is full of experi-ence and with the leadership running through the middle of our field, we should be able to manage all situations on the defensive and offensive sides of the ball,” commented Hulem.

The Hornets look to recover from the loss of senior Theresa Wappett (Queensbury, N.Y.), who will miss the season with a

Leading the way are Wyre and Boursi-quot, who each scored six points during the 2011 season. As a freshman, Boursi-quot posted a .273 shot percentage and .636 shots-on-goal percentage. Wyre recorded 18 shots and seven shots-on-goal.

2012 DSU SOCCER OUTLOOKback injury. While they will miss her scor-ing abilities on the field, Wappett is sure to be an asset to DSU as she provides necessary support and leadership for her teammates on the sideline and in the locker-room.

“Even though Theresa won’t be able to help directly on the field this year, I have high expectations for her,” Hulem stated. “I know she will use her experiences to push the returners and guide the incom-ing players.”

SCHEDULEThe Hornets kick off the regular season at Alumni Stadium for the second consecu-tive year as DSU hosts Manhattan Sun-day at 3 p.m. before traveling to Fairleigh Dickinson Fri., Aug. 31.

DSU returns to Alumni Stadium to pos-sibly their most difficult home contests of the year as they host Radford Sun., Sept. 2 and Route 1 Rival Delaware Sun., Sept. 9.

The Highlanders finished the 2011 campaign with their third Big South Regular Season Championship, their fourth Big South Tournament Cham-pionship and the fifth NCAA Tourna-ment Appearance in school history following 15-6-1 (.705) overall and 8-2-0 (.800) confer-ence records. The Hornets have not matched up with Radford since the 2003 season and are 0-2-0 overall against the Highland-ers.

The Blue Hens finished 2011 with a 10-7-4 overall record and were 5-3-3 in the CAA. Del State looks for their first victory in school history over UD and last season’s 2-0 loss shows the Blue Hens that the Hor-nets are raising the bar of their play.

DSU then travels north to Smithfield, R.I. to face Bryant Fri., Sept. 14 and Worches-ter, Mass. Sun., Sept. 16 to take on Holy Cross as they continue non-conference play.

The Hornets return home for a season-long four-game stretch as they host Rider (Sept. 21), Mount St. Mary’s (Sept. 23),

Goldey-Beacom (Sept. 27) and Harcum (Oct. 6) to wrap up non-conference play.

The Great West Conference slate begins Thursday, Oct. 11 as Del State takes on NJIT in Newark, N.J. The Highlanders finished the 2011 campaign with a 2-17-0 overall and 1-5-0 conference record to place last in the GWC. Their lone win came against the Hornets Oct. 7 in a 2-0 victory in Newark.

DSU hosts just two GWC contests this sea-son in South Carolina State (Oct. 18) and Howard (Oct. 21). The two squads fin-ished third and fourth, respectively, in the conference last season. Sun., Oct. 21 will also serve as senior day.

The Hornets wrap up the regular season with a long-distance trip to Houston Bap-tist (Oct. 27) and Utah Valley (Oct. 29). UVU won the 2011 GWC title and finished the season with an 11-8-1 overall and 5-1-0 conference record while HBU finished second with an 11-8-1 overall and 4-1-1 conference record. DSU captured their first GWC victory in school history as they handed the Wolverines their lone confer-ence loss of the season Oct. 20 in Dover.

Del State will continue their trip to Orem, Utah as UVU hosts the 2012

Great West Conference Tourna-ment Nov. 2-5 at Clyde

Field.

In total, the Hornets are scheduled for 15 regular season

contests, including nine at home. Del State faces four teams (FDU, Bryant,

Holy Cross and Harcum) for the first time in regular season school history.

Peter Hulem was named the Interim Head Coach July 1, 2012 and is in his fourth season overall on the Delaware State staff.

Hulem joined the Hornets as a graduate assistant coach in the summer of 2009 under former DSU head coach Nitan Soni. In the summer of 2011, he was named the first assistant coach in DSU women’s soccer history.

Additionally, Hulem was as the head coach for the CDSA Riptide Girls U15 team that won the 2011 State Cup. He also helped with the CDSA Shockwave Boys U13 team training in 2011.

Prior to his time at Delaware State, Hulem served as an assistant and head coach for the Polytech High School girls soccer team in Woodside, Del. He was also a substitute teacher at Polytech.

Hulem has also spent time as a counselor with Kent County Parks & Recreation and Gaithersburg Parks & Recreation.

From 2003 to 2007 as a player at Wesley College in Dover, Hulem com-peted as a central defender for the Wolverines. He garnered Second Team All-ECAC honors in 2006, and First Team All-PAC honors during his senior year in 2007. He was also a part of the 2006 ECAC Championship Wesley team on which former Hornet head coach Nitan Soni served as an assistant. That squad was also the first in Wolverine history to achieve a top five regional ranking.

Hulem finished his Wesley career with a B.A. in physical education with a minor in history. He most recently obtained his master’s in sports administration from Delaware State University in 2011. He also holds a NSCAA National Coaching C License.

The Great West Conference is made up of 10 intercollegiate institutions that range geographically from New Jersey to Texas to California. The 10 member schools are spread out over seven states and four time zones, giving each school added exposure - both in terms of media and recruiting - in new destinations. The conference affiliation also gener-ates much interest within the 10 institutions’ substantial alumni base.

The conference, which began as a football-only league, took a giant leap in the collegiate athletic world when the conference expanded to include several additional sports and several new members.

Joining the league in 2008 were Chicago State University, Houston Baptist University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of North Dakota, University of South Dakota, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley University. These seven schools joined football only mem-bers Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah University to make up the 10-member league. South Dakota participated as a full member since joining the league but competed only in football in the GWC for the 2011 season.

In addition to football, championships conducted during the 2008-09 academic year were men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, and men’s and women’s golf. Team sports in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and vol-leyball began league play in 2009-10.

As the conference began planning for multi-team sport competition in 2009-10, several teams were added in the sports of women’s soc-cer and baseball to help provide a more diverse and competitive field. Delaware State, Howard and South Carolina State joined as associate members in women’s soccer, while Northern Colorado and New York Institute of Technology joined as associate members in baseball. In ad-dition, Seattle University was added as an associate member in cross country and track and field in 2009 and women’s tennis in 2010. Ne-braska-Omaha and CSU Bakersfield are the most recent additions to the Great West family--UNO is competing in softball for the 2012 sea-

son, while CSUB competes in outdoor track and field for the first time in 2012.

Officially announced Feb. 25, 2004, charter members of the Great West Football Conference were California Polytechnic State University; Uni-versity of California, Davis; North Dakota State University; University of Northern Colorado; South Dakota State University; and Southern Utah University.

Conference competition began on Sept. 4, 2004 with UC Davis scoring a 52-0 win over South Dakota State and Northern Colorado notching a 15-13 win over North Dakota State.

The Great West wrapped up its proud tradition in football in 2011 and has been rated as one of the best in Football Championship Subdivi-sion. The league boasted wins over FBS teams the last five years, with victories over Ball State, San Diego State, Central Michigan, San Jose State, Minnesota and UNLV. UC Davis put the Great West on the map early in the 2005 season with a win over Stanford in what media observ-ers believed to be the biggest upset of the 2005 college football season.

The Great West Conference recognizes student-athletes on both a weekly and full-season basis. Individual awards include Players of the Week; All-Conference teams; an Academic All-Conference team; and Player, Newcomer and Coach of the Year awards. The league also crowns team champions for both regular season and postseason competition.

The governance of the Great West Conference remains primarily with the member institutions. Each member institution is represented on the President’s Council by its respective CEO. The general operations and management of the Conference will be conducted by the Directors of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrators (Joint Council). Schedul-ing of contests, assignment of officials and certain media relations func-tions remain with member institutions.

He is committed to the total well being of student-athletes and believes that graduating with a baccalaureate degree is the cornerstone of the student-athlete experience.

Under Hart’s leadership, Delaware State University student-athletes have boasted the high-est academic marks in school history. Delaware State University lead the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference (MEAC) with 121 Commissioner’s All-Academic team during the 2011-12 academic year. In 2011, Delaware State University inducted 39 student-athletes with a 3.40 cumulative grade point average or higher into Chi Alpha Sigma National Student-Athlete Honor Society.

Hart has helped guide three teams at Delaware State University to achieve scores of 1000 on the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate’s single year score (Women’s Soccer, Men’s Tennis and Vol-leyball). During the 2009-2010 APR cycle, Men’s Basketball saw a 134 point increase ontheir single year score. Hart and his staff have aspirations to see team improve upon their Aca-demic Progress Rate (single and multi-year scores).

team cumulative grade point average above a 3.00 prior to Hart’s tenure, but they achieved this feat in three consecutive semesters under his leadership.

Hart helped guide 18-of-21 student-athletes from ASU to the winter 2009 Academic All-Confer-ence list. Additionally, he had 26-of-44 student-athletes earn spring 2009 Academic All-Confer-ence honors. His teams experienced success on the field as well. The ASU Footballteam won back-to-back National Championships and three consecutive Southern Conference Championships; the ASU Men’s Track and Field program won the indoor track and field cham-pionships in 2007, 2008, and 2009, outdoor championship in 2007 and 2008, and cross country won the conference championship in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 - all during Hart’s tenure.

Delaware State University, by virtue of its membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), is responsible for ensuring complete compliance of all constituencies (i.e. university staff, student-athletes, alumni, fans, boosters and friends) with all NCAA and MEAC rules and regulations. Under NCAA rules, parents, alumni, fans and friends may be categorized as “representatives of athletics interests.”

Delaware State University strives for academic and athletic excellence. Pursuant to that goal is an on-going commit-ment to ethical conduct by all members of its staff and supporters. Even the simplest, inadvertent actions on the part of a booster or supporter may jeopardize the eligibility of student-athletes and/or prospects and the compliance of the university with NCAA or MEAC regulations.

The NCAA broadly defines a “booster” as an individual, agency, entity or organization who is known by an institution to: | Have participated in or been a member of an agency that promotes the institution’s intercollegiate athletics program | Have made financial contributions to the athletics department or a booster organization for the department | Have been involved otherwise in promoting the institution’s athletics program | Have been a season ticket holder | Have provided benefits to student-athletes or their relatives or friends

I’m an Alumnus, am I a Booster? Not necessarily. Not all Delaware state alumni are considered boosters. Likewise, a booster does not have to be a graduate of Delaware State. Boosters meet at least one of the criteria listed above. Thus, an individual who has ever made a financial contribution to the Athletics Department is a booster. In a general sense, a season ticket holder in any sport at any time is a booster. Members and financial supporters of any Delaware State athletic organization are boosters. These are only a hand-ful of examples of typical “boosters” who may be affiliated with an athletic program. Many additional scenarios exist, but, regardless of a booster affiliation with the university, it is important that all supporters follow NCAA rules as they interact with prospects, current student-athletes, their families and friends.

What you cannot do | A booster is prohibited from making in-person, on-or off-campus recruiting contacts, or written or telephone com-munication with a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardians. | A booster is prohibited from contacting any enrolled student-athlete at another institution for the purpose of encouraging transfer to Delaware State University and participation in its athletics program. If a prospect approaches a DSU booster regarding the athletics program, please explain that NCAA rules prohibit such a discussion and suggest to the prospect that he/she contact the head coach of the sport for more information. | A booster is prohibited from contacting the prospect’s coach, principal or counselor for the purpose of obtaining information about the prospect. | A booster is prohibited from picking up film or transcripts from the prospect’s educational institution. | A booster is prohibited from entertaining a prospect and/or relatives and friends of a prospect at any site, either on-or off-campus. | In addition, a booster is prohibited from providing tickets at no or reduced cost to any Delaware State home or away athletic or non-athletic event for prospects, their relatives or friends. Only the DSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics can provide complimentary admissions to prospects and only for HOME events. | A booster is prohibited from paying or arranging for transportation for a prospect and/or relatives and friends of a prospect to visit campus. While it is permissible for a friend or neighbor to transport a high school or community college student who is NOT an athlete to the campus, NCAA regulations prohibit the activity for a prospect.

What you can do | A booster is permitted to send newspaper clippings or any other information regarding a prospect to the respective Delaware State coaching staff. | A booster is permitted to attend high school or community college athletic(s) events. You simply cannot have any contact with prospects or relatives and/or friends. | A booster is permitted to continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors. Contact with sons and daughters of these families is permitted as long as they are not made for recruiting purposes. | A booster is permitted to have a telephone conversation with a prospect ONLY if the prospect initiates the call. However, the booster is not permitted to have a recruiting conversation with the prospect and an institutional staff member cannot prearrange the call.

Extra benefits (as defined by the NCAA) – “any special ar-rangement by an institutional employee or representative of athletics interest to provide a student-athlete a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Receipt of such a benefit is not considered an NCAA violation if that same benefit is generally available to the institution’s students or their relatives and/or friends or to a particular segment of the student body determined on a basis unrelated to athletics ability.”

Extra Benefits include, but are not limited to: | cash or loans in any amount | co-signing or arranging a loan | gifts or free services (e.g., airline tickets, cash, restau-rant meals) | use of an automobile | rent free or reduced cost housing | money for, or a guarantee of, bail or bond | employment of a student-athlete at a higher rate than the wages paid for similar work | payment to a student-athlete for work not performed | transportation (aside from transportation related to an occasional home meal) | tickets to an athletics, institutional or community event | financial aid for a post-graduate education | promise of employment after college graduation | invitations to your home or summer home for pur-poses other than an occasional meal

Please do not hesitate to contact DSU Compliance with any questions.

extra benefits

Delaware State University and its Director of Athletics ask that all boosters, prior to employing or arranging for the employment of a prospect or enrolled student-athlete, check first with the DSU Athletics Department. The department is permitted to make arrangements for summer employment for prospects prior to their enrollment as freshmen and to enrolled student-athletes during summer and semester breaks. Accurate record keeping must be maintained regard-ing employment. Therefore, the Department of Athletics asks for your cooperation. | A booster is prohibited from providing employment transportation for prospects or student-athletes unless such transportation is available to all employees. | A booster is permitted to pay student-athletes em-ployed for work actually performed and at a rate commensu-rate with the going rate for similar services in the community or business.

MISSION STATEMENTOur program is designed to teach all our athletes to become a physically and mentally stronger individual by implementing a program that stresses goal setting, dedica-tion and perseverance.

PHILOSOPHYThe young men and women that we work with in our pro-gram are athletes first. All of the activities that we perform with them will be to enhance their natural athletic ability. We will use training concepts and principles from different disciplines to help our athletes reach their goals on and off their respective playing field.

FACILITIESDelaware State University student-athletes benefit from a first-rate strength and conditioning facility. The first phase of the DSU’s $50 million Strength and Conditioning/Wellness Center/Student Union opened during the fall of 2008. A dedication ceremony for the facility was attended by local and state elected officials and many former DSU

student-athletes, including NFL standouts, Jamal Jackson and Darnerien McCants.

The strength and conditioning center is a 17,000 feet, state-of-the-art complex with all the amenities of a major college facility. The center is connected to the north end of the Memorial Hall main gymnasium and is solely for the use of Hornet student-athletes. The facility includes a weight room, laundry room, offices for conditioning coaches and locker rooms for men’s and women’s basket-ball. The addition also includes a two-story entrance and lobby with ticketing area.

Phase II of the project involved the construction of a Wellness Center specifically for the general student population and the general public. This section is located on the southeast end of Memorial Hall and includes the renovation of an existing auxiliary basketball court and construction of a new basketball court as well as new offices, concession space, men’s and women’s locker rooms and a swimming pool.

Home of the DSU women’s soccer team, Alumni Stadium was constructed in 1980 and has hosted 72 Hornet soccer matches since 2002. Delaware State holds a 14-53-5 all-time record at the stadium. The Hornets’ first every victory at Alumni Stadium was a 1-0 win over Post University on Sept. 8, 2006. The school’s most lopsided victory came during the 2011 campaign with a 12-0 win over Lincoln (Pa.) on Sept. 9. Renovations took place with the installation of lights in the winter of 2005 and the addition of artificial turf during the spring of 2006.

Alumni Stadium also serves as home for the DSU football, women’s lacrosse and both men’s and women’s track and field teams. Additionally, the facility is the site of the annual Delaware I & II High School Championship football games.

The women’s golf team calls Dover’s Maple Dale Country Club home beginning in 2012. Maple Dale was established in 1925 as a three-hole course and expanded to nine holes in the mid-30’s. After relocating in 1969, it was enlarged to a full 18 holes and now offers a mature course set amidst a wooded terrain, dotted with various ponds. This USGA championship rated 18–hole course is as challenging and fun, as it is beautiful, having only one recorded score below par in a 36 hole tournament.

The Brunswick Doverama is home to the bowling team, where they practice daily and host an average of two events each season. The Doverama is located at 1600 S. Governors Ave. (at DuPont Hwy.). For more information, please contact the bowling center at 302-734-7501.

DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY

Dr. Harry L. Williams became the 10th President in the 120-year history of Delaware State University on January 10, 2010, after serving as the institution’s provost and vice president for aca-demic affairs. Shortly after beginning his tenure as president, Dr. Williams convened a Blue Ribbon Commission that crafted a new vision statement and a set of core values to establish DSU as one of America’s most highly respected Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). During the first eight months of his tenure, Dr. Williams held more than 200 meetings with constituencies, including White House officials, Governor Jack Markell, the Delaware Congres-sional delegation, state legislators, alumni groups, community organizations and others. Dr. Williams also took two trips abroad to sign new collaborative agreements with institutions of higher education in China and South Africa. Under Dr. Williams’ leadership as provost, the University estab-lished a new general education program, a distance education strategic plan and a Middle States Monitoring Report plan and successfully completed searches that led to the hiring of a new dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, a director of distance learning, a director of the honors program and an associate vice president for sponsored programs. Prior to his arrival at DSU, Dr. Williams served the University of

North Carolina General Administration as interim associate vice president for academic affairs beginning in September 2007. He was elevated in March 2008 to interim senior associate vice president for academic and student affairs in which he focused on access and outreach for the 17 campuses of the UNC system. Dr. Williams also progressed from an associate director to associ-ate vice chancellor posts in the areas of academic affairs, enroll-ment and diversity at Appalachian State University from 1988 to 2000 and from 2004 to 2007. He served as interim director of admissions for North Carolina A&T University from 2000 to 2004. In addition to his experience within institutions of higher edu-cation, from 2002 to 2008 Dr. Williams was a national market-ing and recruitment associate consultant with Noel-Levitz, the top national consultation firm for enrollment and management solutions in the country. In that capacity, Dr. Williams provided consultation expertise to 14 different institutions of higher edu-cation, including Delaware State University. Dr. Williams earned a Bachelor of Science in communication broadcasting and a Master of Arts in educational media, both from Appalachian State University. He earned an Ed.D. in educa-tional leadership and policy analysis from East Tennessee State University. He is married to Dr. Robin S. Williams, and they have two chil-dren: Austin, 16, and Gavin, 12.

Now in its 121st year, Delaware State Uni-versity has eagerly moved into the new millennium by embracing today’s new technology, assuming its role as an insti-tution of research and preparing its stu-dents for the global market.

Delaware State University’s beginnings date back to 1891, when through enacted the federal Morrill Act of 1890 and state legislation, the State College for Colored Students was established. The first classes were held in February 1892.

The institution has since developed into a 400-acre complex and has undergone two name changes since its inception. The name was changed to Delaware State College in 1947 and Delaware State Uni-versity in 1993. In addition to its main campus in the state capital of Dover, DSU has satellite campuses in Wilmington and Georgetown.

In the institution’s history, the institution has had 10 presidents – Wesley P. Webb (1891-1895), William C. Jason (1895-1923), Dr. William S. Grossley, (1923-1942), Dr. Howard Gregg (1942-1949), Dr. Oscar Chapman (1950-1951), Dr. Je-rome H. Holland (1953-1960), Dr. Luna I. Mishoe (1960-1987), Dr. William B. De-Lauder (1987-2003), Dr. Allen L. Sessoms (2003-2008) and Dr. Harry Lee Williams (2010-present).

During DSU’s history, there have also been two acting presidents. Dr. Maurice E. Thomasson served as acting president twice (1949-1950 and 1951-1953). Dr. Claibourne D. Smith was acting president from 2008-2010.

DSU is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, with its most recent reaffirma-tion of accreditation taking place in 2012. In addition, the University’s education, social work, dietetics, nursing, hospitality and tourism programs all have national accreditations. The College of Business is internationally accredited.

Students at DSU have a choice of 52 un-dergraduate majors and 25 graduate degrees. Since 2004, DSU has also estab-lished five doctoral programs – in Ap-plied Chemistry, Education Leadership, Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics, Neuroscience and Optics. Of the 190 faculty members that are spread among 20 academic de-partments, more than 91% of the faculty holds doctoral degrees while 45 have reached the rank of full professor. The stu-dent/professor ratio is a low 14:1.

Over the last decade, research has be-come a high priority at DSU. Over that time the institution has parlayed suc-cessful grant writing efforts into the sig-




46

nificant improvements in its research infrastructure and project opportunities. The University currently has research projects in the disciplines of biotechnology, chemistry, law enforcement, mathematics, natural resources, social work, applied optics, computer sciences and other areas.

In 2009, the University received a $5 million NASA grant to es-tablish a Center for Applied Optics for Space Science on the DSU campus. In 2011, the state of Delaware set aside $10 million to go toward the construction of a new Optics Research Facility.

In addition to its traditional majors, DSU offers unique under-graduate programs in aviation, forensic biology, environmental science, hospitality and tourism management, health promo-tion and movement sciences. The most popular undergraduate majors are mass communications, criminal justice, sport science, management, psychology, accounting and biology.

Over the last three years, the University has also significantly in-creased its reach around the world through a number of interna-tional agreements abroad. In 2011 the University finalized new agreements with several Chinese institutions of higher educa-tion. A group of DSU students traveled to China for a one-month learning experience in the spring 2012, and during the current fall semester 2011 more than 100 Chinese exchanges students

are enrolled at DSU. In addition, DSU’s Master of Business Educa-tion Program in Vietnam National University graduated its first class in mid-September 2011.

DSU offers 18 intercollegiate athletics programs at the NCAA Di-vision I level.

Dover, the capital of the First State, invites you to experience life in a small American city – history, tax-free shopping and ambi-ance, all in a clean safe and friendly en-vironment. You can spend the day shop-ping or strolling the quaint tree-lined streets to take in the city’s historic archi-tecture, and spend the evenings at the theater or trying your luck at a gam-ing facility.

You can step back in time, literally, by standing on the very corner where in 1787, del-egates to Delaware’s Constitutional Convention ratified the U.S. Constitution – thus giving Delaware its “First State” moniker. The area’s collection of small towns as well as the natural beauty of places such as Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, provide

hours of fun and adventure for visitors of all ages.

Dover’s central location in Delaware makes Kent County the per-fect place for regional meetings and conventions, and a great overnight destination for tours of the state. Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley attractions are only one hour’s drive to the north. Delaware’s beach resorts, including Lewes, Bethany, and Rehoboth, are only one hour’s drive to the south. Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. are all within a two-hour drive.

DOVER AIR FORCE BASEDover Air Force Base is important to the country’s de-fense, as it represents one-fourth of the nation’s stra-tegic airlift capacity. Approximately 7,000 people are stationed at the DAFB. Dover is home to 36 giant C-5 Galaxy cargo planes, which are used to transport troops and equipment wherever they are needed around the world. The C-5 is the largest airplane in the U.S. military. Each plane is nearly as long as a football field, and could carry six motor coaches in its hold. The base cargo ter-minal known as the “Superport” is the largest anywhere in the US military, processing more tons of cargo than Kennedy airport in NY. The Air Mobility Command (AMC) Museum on the DAFB has over 24 aircraft on display, and features more multi-engine aircraft than the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC. Veteran aircraft on display include a C-47 “Gooney Bird” that dropped paratroopers over Normandy on D-Day.

In 2004, under the leadership of Board Chair Dr. Scott D.

In January 2007, the relation-ship was formalized with the three becoming equal partners in the operation, management and programming of the Center.
