Freshman Forum Dress Code

The DSU Freshmen Forum is a valuable resource to the students of Delaware State University for the following reasons:

  • You will have exposure to representatives from prestigious and successful organizations.
  • Prominent professionals will share their expertise and provide information as it relates to the transition experience of growing from a high school student to a professional collegian.
  • Our guests will offer words of wisdom and encouragement to assist you as you strive for excellence in your developmental process.
