Salisbury University’s top-ranked Relay For Life has raised more than $89,000 for the American Cancer Society (ACS) so far this year – and fundraising efforts continue.

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.

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.
