The PE Society is a vibrant organization for students in the Physical Education Teacher Education program. Our members participate in various university and community service events to promote movement and well-being for everyone, especially children and youth.

The Maggs Physical Activities Center has hosted numerous sporting events, and now Salisbury University is proud to add adaptive sports to that list! Our aim is to raise awareness about adaptive sports and provide opportunities for students with physical disabilities to compete alongside their non-disabled peers. In 2024, in collaboration with the SU Intramural Sports program, we organized seven events, including wheelchair basketball and para-sitting volleyball tournaments, as well as our popular Adaptive Sports Nights, which teach participants the fundamental skills and strategies for different adaptive sports.

We also support local physical education teachers interested in incorporating adaptive sports into their curriculum by providing instructional resources and ideas for equipment.

With your support, we can continue offering these events and expand adaptive sports opportunities for the university and the wider community. Supporters who donate $15 or more will receive one of our popular adaptive sports t-shirts, displayed in the image carousel above.

Give to Partnership in Excellence in Accounting Program on Giving Day!

During his time in office, Senator Paul Sarbanes was a friend to Salisbury University, helping to secure funding to expand educational opportunities in the then-Department (now School) of Nursing and to establish the Franklin P. Perdue School of Business’ international business curriculum. In 2002, he initiated the Paul S. Sarbanes Lecture Series through SU’s Institute of Public Affairs and Civic Engagement (PACE), bringing some of the nation’s most prominent legislators to campus. In addition to Senator Sarbanes, high-profile guests included civil rights icon Representative John Lewis, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Senator Richard Lugar.

As a national leader on civil rights, a cosponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act, an ally of environmental conservation (including legislation to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay), and a staunch supporter of consumer protection and corporate reform, exemplified by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Senator Sarbanes embodies the values in which we believe at SU. He was a role model to our students and many others in the greater community. Take this opportunity to honor the impact Senator Sarbanes has made in his hometown of Salisbury, the great state of Maryland and across the country with his decades of selfless public service.

Expected to open within four to five years, the new center would feature an auditorium with seating for up to 1,000, making it the second largest indoor performance space in the county, after the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center. Other planned amenities include a music and theatre space with seating for up to 450, a convertible dance studio, scenic and costume design facilities, and dressing rooms, as well as classroom and rehearsal space.

“This new venue would be a showplace not only for Salisbury University, but for downtown Salisbury and the entire county,” said SU President Carolyn Ringer Lepre. “The potential benefits for the local arts scene, and the regional economy, are extraordinary.”

The building is expected to have a significant annual economic impact on the region, beginning with its construction. The facility also could mean new opportunities for area businesses, as expanded SU cultural programming and the possibility of professional productions from national and international touring acts are expected to draw more customers to downtown Salisbury.

In addition, the venue could help enhance pre-existing events like the annual Maryland Folk Festival, and would be available for community use.

“SU’s music, theatre and dance ensembles are renowned throughout Maryland and the Delmarva Peninsula,” said Dr. Maarten Pereboom, dean of the University’s Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts. “While we enjoy inviting the community to our performances on campus, it’s exciting to know that, in just a few years, we may have an even bigger and better venue to showcase the talents of our students, our faculty and our community partners in a facility that would place us on par with our peers throughout the region.

“We’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”
