In 2003, Mr. 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, Mr. Biden will give his keynote address to approximately 700 graduates.

During that ceremony – the last Commencement in the 16-year tenure of then-DSU President William B. DeLauder – then-Sen. Biden was presented with a honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.
