Such constructions as “U of D,” “UofD,” “the U of D” and “UDel” are not used. Do not use periods in “UD.” When referring to the University as “UD,” do not use “the”—e.g., “Officials at UD confirmed ….” However, use “the” in instances where “UD” is merely a modifier—e.g., “The UD sophomore has won two awards.” When “University of Delaware” is followed by a college name, “University of Delaware” may or may not take the possessive form.

  • Gesneriads Across the Globe: an International Family
    The Mid Atlantic Regional Gesneriad Show, Sale and Symposium Gesneriads Across the Globe: An International Family Saturday, September 29 and Sunday, September 30, 2012 Townsend Hall, 531 South College Avenue, University of Delaware Newark DE The Mid Atlantic Regional Gesneriad Show, Sale and Symposium, a collaborative event of the Delaware, Liberty Bell and National Capital Area Chapters of The Gesneriad Society, will be held in Townsend Hall at the University of Delaware Botanic Gardens, 531 South College Avenue, Newark DE from 10 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 30, 2012, Newark, Delaware is about a ninety minute ride from Washington, DC and the University is located just off Interstate 95. The event evolved from a desire to provide an affordable event to stimulate the interests and cater to the needs of both accomplished and novice members of the three Chapters. Since many of the members either are unable to participate in weekday events or the time and cost to participate in events far away, a weekend similar to the Winter Study Weekends of the American Rock Garden Society was envisioned. Although the original concept was a one day event, the mechanics of a flower show necessitated a two day event. It was the desire of the Committee to have this event compliment other activities which are offered by The Gesneriad Society, the African Violet Society of America and their affiliates, like MAAVS. There have been a few bumps in the road, like scheduling around Blue Hens Football and who knew that a NASCAR event 50 miles away would complicate hotel availability.
