When Meghan Phillips began her freshman year at Salisbury University, it was, by her own admission, “one of the scariest feelings of [her] life.” Now a confident senior, Phillips shares her experiences at SU with hundreds of her fellow students, along with their families and guests, as the morning speaker during SU’s 82nd year Spring Commencement. Afternoon commencement speaker is Caroline Harrison.
Three Salisbury University professors have received the highest faculty honor given by the University System of Maryland: the Regents Award for Excellence.

Frank Algernon Warren's dynamic and provocative paintings will be exhibited publicly for the first time in 73 years. Warren (1865-1935) last exhibited his work at the National Academy of Design in New York City, just before his death in 1935. After a train accident that took his life, his family preserved his work in the family home. His heirs recently opened the collection and will exhibit his works at the Atrium Gallery of Salisbury University’s Guerrieri University Center from April 19-May 28. A reception is 5-7 p.m. Saturday, April 19.
When Indiana Jones returns to the scene this summer, moviegoers are expected to flock to theaters in droves. Concertgoers, however, have the opportunity to begin the fictional archaeologist’s return a little early as the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra at Salisbury University (SSO) performs John Williams’ “Raiders March”—Indiana Jones’ theme song—during its annual Spring Concert 8 p.m. Saturday, May 10. The concert also includes Williams’ music from the Harry Potter movie series.
Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine has again named Salisbury University one of the Top 100 Best Values in Public Colleges.

When it comes to sustainability initiatives, there’s strength in numbers. That’s one reason why Salisbury University President Janet Dudley-Eshbach joined more than 400 other college and university leaders across the nation in the fight against global warming by signing the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. With her signature, Dudley-Eshbach pledged to move SU toward climate neutrality, with no net greenhouse gas emissions. SU will reduce its emissions and accelerate awareness efforts needed to help the local community, and the broader society, re-stabilize the earth’s climate.
