Dr. Jerome Holland Statue & Brick Drive
During Homecoming Week 2018, the Dr. Jerome Holland Statue was dedicated, unveiling the first statue on Delaware State University’s Main Campus. Dr. Holland — Delaware State College President from 1953-1960 — is credited with providing the critical leadership needed to navigate the College through one of the most difficult decade of its history. Dr. Holland’s leadership also brought about improvements at the College that ensured its survival and established a foundation for future presidents to build upon.
