First in Family to Graduate College is Still Fondest Moment

Dr. Rebecca E. Batson became the first college graduate in her family when she earned her associate degree in library technology in 1971.

“It is my fondest moment,” she shared, “because I had accomplished something that no one else in my family had done at that time and we took time to celebrate.”

It was a tremendous accomplishment, but it was just the beginning of her academic endeavors. Rebecca has since acquired a Bachelor of Science degree in Library Science from Virginia State University, a Master of Science degree in Library Science from North Carolina Central University Durham, a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Delaware State University, and a Doctor of Divinity Degree in Biblical Studies from Friends International Christian University.

Today, Rebecca is Dean of University Libraries at Delaware State University, a position she has held since 2010.

“My incredible career has truly been an amazing journey,” she said. “My professional growth has been phenomenal.”

The springboard for all of that was her time at Delaware Tech, especially the support and motivation she found on the Georgetown campus.

“My instructors were caring, innovative, positive, and took the time to make sure I received the quality education that I was seeking,” said Rebecca. “They knew I needed guidance and encouragement, and that I had academic potential.”

“I love Delaware Tech because it gave me an opportunity to obtain a college education, and it was there that I realized I could excel in whatever I set my mind to do,” she shared. “It was a revelation for me.”
