?? Supporting Student and Faculty Success at Salisbury University ?? At the SU Foundation, we love seeing the impact of donor-supported grants in action! Professor Maida Finch from the Department of Leadership and Literacy Studies recently received a grant to support travel expenses for two Ed.D. students, allowing them to present at the Carnegie Project for the Education Doctorate’s annual convention. Joined by faculty member Heather Porter, they shared their approach to mentoring doctoral students—a presentation that was well-received and an invaluable experience for the students. ?? "The students were very grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for supporting my grant application!" This is what philanthropy in action looks like! Every gift to the SU Foundation helps create opportunities like this for our students and faculty. ??? #SalisburyUniversity #StudentSuccess #FacultySupport #Mentorship #HigherEducation #EdD #ProfessionalDevelopment #ThankYou

?? Why We Give Wednesday ?? Today, we’re thrilled to spotlight two dedicated faculty members who give back to Salisbury University: Dr. Jeffrey Schoyen and Dr. Sachi Murasugi. “We are delighted to give something back to Salisbury University. Over the years, we’ve not only had wonderful students, but we’ve developed many friendships with colleagues across the disciplines. We’re also grateful for an administration that supports music and arts education,” they shared. Dr. Schoyen, a cello professor and orchestra conductor, and Dr. Murasugi, a lecturer, Applied Upper Strings Instructor, and Strings Ensemble Director, are integral to the Jackson Music Program at SU. Their passion for teaching and their commitment to the arts inspire students and colleagues alike. Thank you, Dr. Schoyen and Dr. Murasugi, for your generosity and dedication to SU’s mission. Your contributions help ensure that music and arts education continue to thrive for future generations. #WhyWeGiveWednesday #SalisburyUniversity #MusicEducation #FacultySpotlight #GivingBack #ArtsEducation

The scholarship eases the financial burden of pursuing a degree, empowering students to focus on their academic and professional aspirations. Our recipient shared their inspiring goals: ??
