A Word From Our Chairperson

The past academic year has been one of extraordinary momentum for Salisbury University and its Foundation. This year, we celebrated a truly historic milestone: Salisbury University’s 100th year. A century of transformation, opportunity, and impact stands as a testament to the enduring power of higher education and community. What began as a modest institution has grown into a vibrant campus network that changes lives every day because of individuals like you.

The Foundation’s progress reflects our collective commitment. Surpassing $1___ million in endowed assets and providing record-breaking support to our students through scholarships and programmatic funding, we are witnessing the direct results of sustained generosity. These achievements are not measured solely in dollars, but in aspirations fulfilled, barriers removed, and futures unlocked.

Under the continued leadership of President Lepre, the University has built upon a distinguished legacy of advancing academic excellence, expanding opportunities, and investing in programs that enrich the student experience. These successes are shared successes, made possible by a community that believes deeply in Salisbury’s mission.

As Chairman of the Board of Directors, I am profoundly committed to stewarding this momentum with purpose. Our second century will be defined not by what we have achieved, but by what we choose to do together next. The measure of the Foundation lies not only in what it builds today, but in what it inspires for generations to come. By our action and participation, we are advancing legacy.

I invite you to remain actively engaged. Visit campus. Reconnect with fellow alumni. Support the initiatives that inspire you most. Whether through giving, mentorship, or advocacy, your participation strengthens the fabric of this remarkable community. Every contribution, of every kind, plays a vital role in shaping the student experience and extending Salisbury’s impact far beyond our campus.

Thank you for your continued belief in Salisbury University and its Foundation.

Eric McLauchlin, Esq. '92
Chair,
Salisbury University Foundation, Inc.
