Give to Theatre on Giving Day!

The Bobbi Biron Theatre Program offers performance opportunities to all university students. The program presents a range of plays from the 18th century to the present. The Department offers an undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre that balances a broad liberal arts perspective with the specifics of professional training focused on either performance or design and production. Anchored in the classical tradition, the program examines theatre through aesthetic education and criticism, creative expressions, and historical and socio-cultural perspectives. Our theatres graduates are prepared for placement in professional theatres, graduate school, or related fields.

Our faculty need your help to give our students an understanding, not only of how to execute a successful theatrical performance, but also of how centuries of plays and playwrights successfully captured and influenced history. Your gift, no matter the size, combined with others, will help the Theatre Department provide an extraordinary program for our students. Your investment will supply quality materials for student productions such as costumes, sets, and scenery.

Support Thrive on SU's Giving Day!

Dr. Tom Jones is no stranger to Salisbury University. The former biological sciences professor, dean and provost has helped nurture students in the classroom and beyond during his three-plus decades at SU.

Though retired since 2014, he and his wife, Anne-Marie “Nancy” Jones, former facilities manager at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), will continue that impact on the campus with the establishment of the Tom and Nancy Jones Undergraduate Research Fund.

This endowment gift provides financial resources for undergraduate students to conduct research and present their work in the biological, environmental and marine sciences.

“It is with much gratitude to Salisbury University that Nancy and I provide this endowment to help promote undergraduate research,” Dr. Jones said. “I deeply appreciate the opportunities that SU has afforded me to help develop new generations of science educated professionals.”

The University Archives documents the collective memory of Salisbury University, from its founding as the State Normal School in 1925 to the present day. The holdings of the University Archives reside on the fourth floor of the Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons. Items in the University Archives have an enduring value to Salisbury University and are intended for permanent retention. In addition to the university’s permanent records, the University Archives actively acquire, arrange, describe, and preserve documentation of campus life as well as the history and administration of Salisbury University. The staff provide reference assistance to Salisbury University students, faculty, and administrators and off‐campus researchers and disseminate information about the holdings of the University Archives through instruction, exhibits, and campus publications.

The University Archives’ collections attempt to cover all aspects of campus life and all academic subject areas. Current collection strengths include: campus administration, university publications, photographs of the campus and university life, and university athletics. The resources of the University Archives are unique and rarely overlap with other archival repositories. Your gift would assist with the cost of preserving and digitizing current and future archival materials, making it easier for alumni, faculty, staff, students, and others to access the rich and unique history of Salisbury University.

The University Archives is actively collecting materials. Some topic areas include student organization ephemera (constitutions, flyers, photographs, member lists, etc), documentation of student life (diaries, letters, photographs, audio/visual materials, etc), and items related to diversity and inclusion on campus, especially for minority groups and the LGBTQ+ communities. If you are interested in donating materials, please contact Jen Piegols, the University Archivist at jhpiegols@salisbury.edu.

Give to University Greatest Need Fund on Giving Day!

When you think about your time at Salisbury University, I am willing to bet you think about the people and experiences you had. The faculty member who was always available to answer a question or was there for you in times of stress. The friends you made during your freshman year who will still be with you at your 50th reunion. Giving your all on the field for your team because you know that putting on the maroon and gold is something special. The special hug you get when you walk into the Commons for lunch. Competing in an academic competition knowing the preparation you made put you in a place to succeed. Salisbury University represents something uniquely special to all of us.

Your gift to the University Greatest Need Fund will make an impact in several areas such as reducing student debt after graduation, improving aging classrooms, and supporting student research, just to name a few. Your gift, combined with others, will make a difference.

Your gift to the University Writing Center will provide support for tutors to attend regional and international writing center conferences where they can learn and present their research. For 2025, we are supporting student presenters at the Conference on College Composition & Communication (CCCC) and summer research.
