The Campaign For Salisbury University
Education
Salisbury University is an institution with a rich history in educator preparation and a thriving community of innovation.
Seidel School of Education
The Samuel W. and Marilyn C. Seidel School of Education is looking forward with pride in our heritage and enthusiasm for our shared future. Our roots run deep to the campus’ founding in 1925 as a school for training rural teachers. Today, we are committed to helping address teacher shortage areas – including establishing a pipeline of teachers in science and mathematics and diversifying the education workforce – and creating innovative teaching systems for next generation learners. Helping the newly re-defined school fully return to its roots in teacher preparation, Dean Laurie Henry is energized and excited about what the school has to offer and the many opportunities ahead in training students and serving the community.
We have a robust Professional Development School network that provides students with diverse experiences across dozens of regional public school sites and Living Learning Communities that extend the traditional classroom experience. We look to our aspiring teachers to help transform the field of education. For our faculty and students, changing lives through education is a passion. We are dedicated to preparing outstanding educators for tomorrow’s classrooms.

Why Give to SU?
Transform Tomorrow
Our alumni are our legacy. They are the teachers in our classrooms, the nurses in our hospitals, the civil servants in our government and the entrepreneurs creating jobs in our communities. Our diverse and dynamic students need a broad educational experience to prepare them for a challenging future. During their lifetimes, they will make multiple career changes, solve problems we cannot imagine and live with dizzying change. We produce the continuous learners who will be an integral part of our society and communities in the 21st century. Together, we can provide scholarships and resources to unlock students’ limitless potential.
Shape Success
Learning is an evolutionary journey of discovery about self, knowledge and the world. Students learn truths about life on athletic fields, with clubs and organizations, and in the classroom and community. Guiding them are SU faculty and staff, who become trusted mentors and role models. Our teacher-scholars provide excellent learning opportunities. Coaches help student-athletes compete and succeed. Other caring professionals support intellectual and emotional growth. The heart of our University, they all play critical roles in supporting each student. Together, we can help dedicated faculty and staff open doors and inspire unequaled experiences.
Create Connections
SU is an integral part of the Delmarva Peninsula. As a regional, comprehensive university, we not only educate students but serve as a resource for our neighbors, with centers and institutes, events and activities, performing ensembles and artists, and countless opportunities for learning and interaction. Civic engagement is a pillar of students’ education – and our campus is a hub for cultural experiences, new ideas and entrepreneurial thought. We play a vital role in the area we call home, creating opportunities and inspiring action. Together, we can enrich collaborations woven across the region, strengthening our communities.
