Rita Rawal one of countless students supported by UDâs Graduate College
Over the course of her 25 years and various positions at the University of Delaware, Mary Martin has always maintained an open-door policy for graduate students to stop in to see her at their convenience. Whether they are looking for guidance with their academic plans or finances, a friendly and empathetic person to talk with or any other kind of support, Martin has been there to listen and propose options for a solution to the problem. When Rita Rawal visited Martin, the current associate vice provost for graduate and professional education and associate dean of UDâs Graduate College, for the first time in January 2008, it changed her life forever.
