Delaware State University announced that Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., will deliver remarks at the May DSU Commencement Ceremony. DSU will also launch the celebration of its 125th anniversary as an institution of higher education at the ceremony.
The Commencement Ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 7 at Alumni Stadium on the DSU campus.
In 2003, Biden – then Delaware’s senior U.S. senator – was the DSU Commencement keynote speaker. That year about 450 graduates heard his commencement message. With the enrollment growth of DSU since then, it is projected that during the May 7 Commencement, Biden will give his keynote address to approximately 700 graduates.
