This roundup summarizes recent highlights from the University of Delaware and Liberty University, showcasing achievements in public service, athletics, and academic research.
The University of Delaware honored South Carolina Representatives Brandon L. Cox and Jermaine L. Johnson with the Biden School of Civility in Public Service Award for their work in securing a monument for Robert Smalls. Smalls, a former slave who became a Civil War hero and state lawmaker, will be the first Black man represented by a statue on the South Carolina State House grounds, joining statues of white men with ties to the Confederacy. Cox and Johnson, who reside on opposite sides of the political aisle, collaborated to pass South Carolina House Bill 4173, demonstrating the power of bipartisanship in public service.
Liberty University’s Men’s Division I Hockey team continued their undefeated streak, defeating the University of Delaware in a weekend series. The team won 7-1 on Friday night and 5-3 on Saturday. Key players like freshman forward Seth Wall and senior forward Ryan Finch contributed to the wins, underscoring the team's offensive capabilities.
Hojung Lee, the first doctoral graduate of the University of Delaware’s interdisciplinary education and social policy program, is now a postdoctoral associate at Rice University. Her research focuses on equity in education, particularly how resource allocation impacts underserved students. Lee’s work has earned her recognition as a 2025 APPAM Equity and Inclusion Young Professional Fellow. Her dissertation examined how federal Title I funding, corequisite remediation in higher education, and disparities in Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways affect disadvantaged students. Lee’s research highlights the importance of data-driven approaches to inform education policy and address inequities.
