UDance Dance Marathon B+ Hero Holiday Party

Scott on

UDance Dance Marathon is a student-run philanthropy at the University of Delaware that raises funds and awareness for the fight against childhood cancer, with our local beneficiary, The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation – a non-profit founded in Delaware that provides financial assistance to the families of children who are battling childhood cancer. Since its inception in 2007, UDance has raised $16.5 million to help the 46 children that will be diagnosed with childhood cancer by the end of today. 

Make a fundraising page! Any amount helps! $3 could go towards a coffee of a family who has been in the hospital room all night with their crying child who is in agonizing pain from their Chemo treatments. 

If you are looking to get more involved, we have a very special event coming up! 

  • B+ Hero Holiday Party! 
    • What: A holiday celebration with our B+ Heroes who are children that are battling childhood cancer (Games, food, gingerbread houses, talent show)

    • Why: We have the opportunity to create amazing memories for children who have been things that most individuals cannot even begin to imagine! Let’s create a winter wonderland for these amazing kids!

AAP Opportunity with the Community Engagement Scholars Program at UD!

Scott on

The Community Engagement Scholar course of study is a multi-year academic program that provides a framework for integrating traditional academic coursework with hands-on experiences in the community. It is open to all majors and scholars receive enhanced advising. Completion of an eportfolio as a senior allows students to develop a narrative of their civic identity as they take steps into their post graduate life. It is excellent preparation for graduate school or career-based applications.

Students may apply through their sophomore year. Course of study requirements and an application can be found on the Community Engagement Scholars site.

CE Scholars take two required courses and the rest of the credits are based on major/minor courses. If interested, you are invited to register for the first required course: the 1 credit SPPA 100 Introduction to Civic Engagement, which will be offered on zoom on Fridays, from 11:15 am – 12:05 pm (available to students throughout the state). To pre-register, forward your name and UDID to Professor Teague (teague@udel.edu) by December 10, 2021.
