Samuel Arsht, and we recognize as well the extraordinary philanthropy of their daughter, Ms. Adrienne Arsht. As role models of integrity and giving, the Arsht family has served and enriched the lives of Delawareans for decades. Like many American families, Roxana Cannon's and Samuel Arsht's parents immigrated to the United States from Russia a century ago, seeking survival and a better life.

Samuel Arsht was a 1931 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School and a 1934 graduate of the University's law school.
