Groundhog

Groundhog

In 1963, UD launched its favorite tradition centered around a certain mammal seeking its shadow. Now, over 50 years later, Groundhog is an event of pride as we host the second-largest celebration of Groundhog Day outside of Punxsutawney.

The annual festivity includes a Party in the Park, a Groundhog Homecoming Dinner, a 5k, powderpuff football, regional Groundhog celebrations, trivia game and much more.

Cor Challenge

Your gift during the Cor Challenge goes directly to the heart of UD: our students and faculty.
