Transitions and Transformations As the 2017 spring semester draws to a close, eager seniors are preparing to graduate from DSU. They will leave sophomoric daydreams behind and face the realities of life. Just four or five years ago, they entered the DSU community as hopeful freshmen, full of the anticipation and trepidation that are the twins of transition. As eager now as when DSU welcomed them to begin something new and exciting, we send them forth with great hopes for promising futures. Transitioning from class members to members of the working class, from collegians to colleagues, will be without a doubt a sobering experience for many. However, we are confident that in the time spent at DSU, our students have transformed themselves into men and women ready to make significant marks on the world. This is a pivotal time for them — and for us — as
we send them off into a world that they are destined to change and that will change them as well. If the Class of 2017 has taken full advantage of all that Delaware State University has had to offer, then our new graduates will continue to persevere. If we have done our job, we will reap the benefits of a job well done. We will see our protégés become selfsufficient individuals who will use what they have gained to enrich lives — starting with their own — and to marshal positive change in the world. We believe this for them and wish for them much more. Sincerely,
