Located in Newark, Delaware, the University of Delaware Emergency Care Unit (UDECU) was established in 1976 and continues to play a crucial role both on and off campus.
Today, UDECU boasts a diverse membership of over 50 students representing various academic disciplines offered by the university.
Operating nightly throughout the spring and fall semesters, UDECU members often extend their service into the summer months, though call volumes typically decrease during this period. They also provide standby assistance during major events such as graduations and local festivals.
Primarily tasked with offering emergency medical services, their responsibilities span across the university campus, and the city of Newark, and occasionally extend beyond.
