The Campaign For Salisbury University
Global Experiences
SU has transformed into a global organization with more than 40 active institutional partnerships in dozens of countries on five other continents.
International Education
Encouraging students to travel and study all over the world has been one of SU’s priority pillars, along with increasing the number of international students in classrooms on campus and providing more opportunities for faculty engagement in other countries. Global perspectives not only enhance the worldview of SU students, but also help promote the reputation of SU well beyond our immediate geographic region. Today, the Janet Dudley-Eshbach Center for International Education fosters valuable collaborations that extend SU’s reach worldwide.
In the past two decades, the number of SU students studying abroad has nearly quadrupled. In 2016, SU was recognized by the Institute for International Education as one of the top 40 master’s comprehensive universities in the U.S. for credits earned abroad, with some 425 students studying internationally in one year. Through the Office of Study Abroad, SU faculty lead short-term Global Seminars, and Salisbury Abroad programs provide semester-long options. Through SU’s English Language Institute, non-native speakers have a pathway to study on campus. Since its opening, the number of international students enrolled full-time has tripled. An International Faculty House welcomes teachers, scholars, artists and researchers as global visitors in residency.
Campaign Priorities & Initiatives
Through the Campaign for Salisbury University, SU’s Center for International Education seeks to:

- Expand opportunities for visiting global scholars to enrich the campus and greater community.
- Foster support and mentorship for SU’s increasing numbers of U.S. Student Fulbright recipients, and other international fellowships, scholarships and awards.

Study Abroad Scholarship Inspires Students’ Latin American Studies
As an SU student, Paige Lewis never planned to spend a whole year in Latin America. Being selected for the Dudley-Eshbach Study Abroad Scholarship, however, allowed her to study in both Chile and Ecuador, bolstering her experiences as a Spanish major. “I learned that every experience should be taken, whether it is fishing in a mountain pond, swimming in an Amazon waterfall, or just sitting at dinner with your [host] family and appreciating being able to communicate in a language completely different than your own,” she said.READ MORE
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.
