The Campaign For Salisbury University
Science & Technology
I was one of the first students to receive a Henson Scholarship here at Salisbury. I probably would not have an academic career without it.
Henson School of Science & Technology
Through the Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology, students can put their inquisitive natures and analytical skills to good use. They can learn to use applied robotics or 3-D printing for engineering, GIS for disaster management and mitigation, and clean energy alternatives or stem cells to improve and save lives. Alumnus and Dean Michael Scott says that the research he did as an undergraduate at SU led him to get a graduate degree, which led him to be a faculty member. He sees the Henson School having the same impact on so many SU students today.
The Henson School provides an outstanding, student-centered environment in which expert faculty empower students with knowledge and skills in majors including biology, chemistry, computer science, Earth science, geography, mathematics, physics, and urban and regional planning. Our graduate programs include applied biology, geographic information systems management and mathematics education. We take pride in recruiting diverse faculty and students and providing exceptional learning experiences beyond the classroom in field and laboratory settings. We also cultivate and maintain strong connections with employers and post-graduate programs to provide our students with successful and rewarding career trajectories.
Campaign Priorities & Initiatives
Through the Campaign for Salisbury University, the Henson School of Science and Technology seeks to:
- Expand access to high-impact practices to support student success and develop a support program for pre-medical students.
- Improve or launch new academic programs and attract and retain high-quality, diverse faculty.
- Improve outreach related to science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) disciplines.
- Enable and encourage local Delmarva students to choose SU for science and support science for local economic development.

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.
