Eva Lynn, a proud member of Delaware State University's Class of 1965, was instrumental in the record-breaking fundraiser which allowed her to present a record donation at the reception of DSU's 50th-anniversary celebration. Alongside her fellow alumni, she presented the largest gift ever presented to the school by a single graduating class during that time.
