If the reader of this 2004 Evergreen first came to Salisbury University in fall 2000, then you and I have something in common: We
both became part of the SU community at that time. How quickly four years pass! I am grateful and honored to serve as president
of this wonderful institution, and hope you are glad to have chosen SU for your post-secondary education.
As you reflect back upon your time on campus, you will likely recall the construction of our new Henson Science Hall, a 145,000
square foot, state-of-the-art facility that opened in fall 2002. The new equipment and laboratory space have facilitated faculty-
student research - a hallmark of a SU education. The science building was the first academic facility constructed at SU in over a
decade.
A challenging issue this past year has been the focus on student rental housing in nearby neighborhoods and the "4 to 2" legislation
passed by the Salisbury City Council. As of this writing, I expect that the law will be amended to be more "student-friendly." In
addition, there are numerous initiatives underway designed to improve university/community relations.
Salisbury University's reputation continues to grow. The 2004 editions of U.S. News & World Report, the Princeton Review and
Kiplinger's continue to rank SU among the nation's top public universities. U.S. News included the University as one of the top tier
master's institutions in the North, where we are rated fourth among public institutions. Our enhanced reputation has brought more
applications for admission and higher student selectivity. Last year, we had over 5,500 applicants for an entering freshman class of
950 students.
Salisbury University also continues to succeed in the sports arena. SU's athletics teams celebrated two NCAA national championships
in 2003, one in men's lacrosse and one in women's field hockey. In addition, SU had the second highest number of student-athletes
named to the 2003 Capital Athletic Conference All-Academic Team.
I wish all graduating students much success and personal fulfillment in the years to come. Be sure to take the memories and lessons
of Salisbury University with you. Please keep your alma mater in your heart.
Warmly,

Cooking burnt marshmallows over an open fire, clinging to nylon line and crumbling rock, paddling all of your
earthly belongings to the next spot of dry land doesn't sound like your typical first week of college. However,
these students learned much more than how to wrap their tent mate in toilet paper during SU's New Student
Orientation trips. As well as cycling through Acadia National Park, canoeing on Ontario in Algonqin Provincial
Park, rappeling on the Appalachian Trail in the Nantahala Outdoor Center and rafting the Gauley River in West
Virgina, these freshmen learned 'the ropes' on campus life, study skills, involvement in student activities and
development of their individual leadership abilities. And, oh yeah, how to wrap your tentmate in toilet paper!
