Alumni & Family Weekend
Alumni & Family Weekend (AFW) is a 3-day event for alumni and families held in the last weekend in September. The weekend includes panel discussions with distinguished faculty, an evening of wine tasting, meetups with Irving and Rome faculty of the past and present, open classrooms, and more!
Groundhog
In 1963, UD launched its favorite tradition centered around a certain mammal seeking its shadow. Now, over 50 years later, Groundhog is an event of pride as we host the second-largest celebration of Groundhog Day outside of Punxsutawney.
The annual festivity includes a Party in the Park, a Groundhog Homecoming Dinner, a 5k, powderpuff football, regional Groundhog celebrations, trivia game and much more.

Commencement
The Spring Commencement ceremony has been scheduled for May 14, 2023, for May 2023 undergraduate and graduate students of the Constantin College of Liberal Arts, the Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts, the Satish and Yasmin Gupta College of Business and the Ann & Joe O. Neuhoff Institute for Ministry & Evangelization (and any August and December graduates who did not attend graduation in December).
Cor Challenge
The Cor Challenge is an important giving event held in the spring where alumni, faculty, and parents challenge each other to see who can raise the most donations for our beloved university. Your gift during the Cor Challenge goes directly to the heart of UD: our students and faculty. The Cor Fund supports our university’s greatest needs: competitive student scholarships, faculty research and enrichment, speakers providing intellectual engagement, and recreational activities to nourish the mind and body as well as the soul.
