U.S. Sen. Thomas R. Carper paid Delaware State University a visit on Aug. 30 along with state Rep. Darryl M. Scott, to tour the Wellness and Recreation Center on campus and learn about other health initiatives such as the Delaware Center for Health Promotions, which is based at DSU.

Sen. Carper’s visit coincided with the first day of classes on campus for the 2011 fall semester, which had been delayed a day due to the Hurricane Irene storm event over the weekend.

Sen. Carper also brought along Cerron Cade, one of his staff members who is a DSU alumnus, class of 2007. Mr. Cade, a former Hornet football offensive lineman, is slated to soon be the deputy New Castle County director for Sen. Carper’s office.
