Memorials and Tribute Gifts

After retiring from his career as a computer programmer with IBM, Charles Uhl came to work in UD’s IT Department. He was a lifelong student who audited several classes while working at the university, as well as an avid armchair, National Geographic traveler who sent four of his five children to UD and to Rome. All of his children had inherited his love of travel; for the UD alumni among them — Kathy (Milligan), BA ’91, Gary, BA ’96, Regina, BA ’00, and Christine, BA ’02 — this love was deepened and enriched by their Rome semesters.

When their father passed away, the Uhl children (including Thomas, who did not attend UD), along with their mother, Nancy, set up the Charles T. Uhl Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund in his name to enable more students to be able to afford Rome each semester.
