Andrew Moran’s Story
“I have had the strange experience of twice being a UD student, and so this university has shaped my character and my life,” said UD alumnus and Associate Professor of English Andrew Moran, BA ’91 PhD ’04. In his estate plan, Moran has generously provided for scholarships benefiting literature students in UD’s Institute of Philosophic Studies, the doctorate-granting division of the Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts.
