Lifers Dinner for the Class of 2024
A beloved annual event, our annual “D-E Lifers” Dinner, held up to tradition earlier this spring. “Lifers” are our senior students who have attended D-E in all three divisions. During this year’s dinner, each “Lifer” from the Class of 2024 — more than 30 in all! — honored one specific faculty or staff member who made a positive impact on them during their entire tenure at D-E. Students wrote short yet moving speeches thanking their honoree. Please see below for a list of all of our Class of 2024 “Lifers”.
Congratulations to all our Class of 2024 “Lifers” and their families, and a sincere thank you to our honorees for “making it better” for all of these students!
