East Hanover Woman Graduates U. Delaware

NEWARK, DE -- Lisa Killary was among the newest members of the University of Delaware's Class of 2012, celebrated during Winter Commencement ceremonies held Sunday, Jan. 6, in the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Del.

With sunny skies outdoors and plenty of smiles and warm fellowship inside, nearly 400 new Blue Hens received graduate, undergraduate and associate in arts degrees.

UD President Patrick Harker greeted the audience of 3,400, which included families and friends of the Class of 2012, as well as UD faculty, administrators and members of the UD Board of Trustees.

"Today, we celebrate no small accomplishment," Harker said. "We celebrate the fact that years of hard work and late nights - and at least eight panic-inducing rounds of finals - have paid off at last."

Killary is from East Hanover, NJ.
