Service Projects
Letters to Child Patients at PRMC

Following the fall 2012 success of "Letters to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” the incoming freshman class of spring 2013 will be writing "Letters to Child Patients" at Peninsula Regional Medical Center. These letters serve to uplift and give joy to in-patient children at the medical center, showing the support and encouragement from the Salisbury University community.
    Along with this service project, students will be able to interact with various community service agencies from Wicomico County and surrounding areas in the spring 2013 Volunteer Fair. Students will gain a greater understanding of what volunteerism means to Salisbury University and why it is so important that everyone is involved in the service efforts of the community.
