LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTBusiness Education PartnershipSU signed an agreement allowinggovernment contracting students at CecilCollege in North East, MD, to simultaneouslypursue bachelor’s degrees in businessmanagement through SU’s Perdue School ofBusiness. Distance learning classrooms inPerdue Hall – part of some $3.1 million innew technology installed in the building –enable Perdue School faculty to broadcastlectures and class assignments some 120miles north to Cecil. A live chat feature willallow those students to participate in classdiscussions. Since 2005, SU has partneredwith Cecil to offer a bachelor’s program insocial work via distance learning. Thebusiness program not only will strengthenthat partnership, but provide opportunitiesfor the area’s changing population. “We areparticularly excited to offer this degree atCecil College as part of our efforts tosupport the BRAC initiative at AberdeenProving Ground,” said Dr. Melanie Perreault,associate provost.Hurricane Sandy’s recent visit to the Eastern Shore brought back to me the

start of the last academic year, when we opened to both an earthquake andHurricane Irene. Though we were fortunate in all of these cases, our heartsgo out to all of those in our region and throughout the East who arestruggling with the aftermath of this devastating super storm.

All in all, academic year 2011-2012 was one of new beginnings. Last fall,we cut the ribbons on three new facilities on our campus: Sea Gull Squareresidence-retail complex; Perdue Hall, home to the Perdue School ofBusiness; and the Henson Medical Simulation Center, serving students innursing and the health sciences as well as community health providers. Thelatter two were made possible by significant gifts from the Arthur W. PerdueFoundation and the Richard A. Henson Foundation, Inc., respectively. Suchbenefactors were instrumental in SU’s Campaign 2012, which closed thisyear having almost breached the $40 million mark.

Our undergraduate academics and research continued to strengthen,thanks to the work of our stellar faculty and augmented by the significantgrant resources faculty helped to secure. SU celebrated its first studentFulbright Award. Graduate education received new focus, and internationaleducation boomed. Nine of the state’s celebrated Teachers of the Year for2011 were SU graduates, and SU’s impacts across the state were also feltthrough strong programs in distance education. Athletic programs outdidthemselves, with SU’s men’s lacrosse winning its 10th national championshipand Sea Gull teams boasting 13 conference championships, five NCAAregional finalists and four NCAA quarterfinalists! Our cultural offeringscontinued to add richness to the campus and the community, while buildingour appreciation for the beauty and culture of all peoples.

As we embrace the next academicyear with renewed vigor, I offer my thanksto all who continue to support thoseaccomplishments in large and small ways. Janet Dudley-Eshbach, Ph.D.

Grants & ScholarshipCelebratedSU celebrated faculty and staff research,publications and creative works duringResearch Awards and Pub Night atBlackwell Library. During the event,President Janet Dudley-Eshbach and Dr. Clifton Griffin, dean of graduate studiesand research, recognized members of theUniversity community who had secured$500,000 or more in grants. “Faculty andstaff have used these grants to fundprojects as diverse as studying the Amazonrainforest (below right), offering an artseducation program for talented middle and

high school students (below left), trainingteachers of students learning English as asecond language, and expanding Universitybusiness outreach services, to name just afew,” said Dudley-Eshbach. “In addition,faculty and staff have contributed tohundreds of scholarly journals, books andother publications. They are exemplars ofacademic excellence. Because of these andother efforts, their peers throughout theUnited States and beyond are seeing first-hand why Salisbury is A Maryland Universityof National Distinction.” In all, honoreessecured more than $35 million in grants forSU in the past 10 years.

NationalRankingsSU remains aleader in nationalguidebooks.Selected as a 2011-2012 College of Distinction,SU also was named one of U.S. News & World Report’sTop Public Regional Universities in the North (the only Maryland campus onthat list) for the 15th consecutive year.For the 13th consecutive year, SU wasamong The Princeton Review’s Best 376Colleges. SU also was one of its 220 BestNortheastern Colleges. The publication’srankings represent the top 15 percent ofcolleges and universities, both public andprivate, in the nation.

CAMPUS ACCOLADESGrant to Analyze MediationSU and its Center for Conflict Resolution(below) received a $750,000 grant from theMaryland Judiciary, the state’s judicialsystem, to analyze the use of alternativedispute resolution (ADR). Jurisdictionsstatewide are using mediation and ADRprograms as other options to litigation inboth civil and misdemeanor criminal cases.The University is working in partnership withCommunity Mediation Maryland and RenbarConsulting, LLC, to assess these practices.Initiated by the Judiciary, the two-part studyincludes an analysis of the cost-benefits ofADR versus traditional litigation. It alsoexamines the efficiency and effectiveness ofvarious types, styles and strategies ofmediation. The Judiciary hopes to shedpractices that are not cost effective, and alsoexpand approaches and systems that offerthe highest benefits to court systems andcitizens of Maryland. While the case formediation is strong, the study will providethe additional research needed to justify theJudiciary’s continued investment in ADR. The Judiciary has been using ADRapproaches for the past 12 years. Theresearch team is observing more than 1,100 court-related ADR sessions across the state over 18 months.

Relay Administration HonoredSU’s Relay For Life was honored for“Outstanding Administration Support”during the American Cancer Society’sSouth Atlantic Division Collegiate Awards.According to nominator Debbie White,the Salisbury area community manager forthe American Cancer Society, theUniversity’s support for Relay begins atthe top, with President Janet Dudley-Eshbach. Also lauded were Dr. RosemaryM. Thomas, past vice president ofUniversity advancement, and AgataLiszkowska, associate director of theUniversity’s Center for InternationalEducation. Liszkowska has been SU’sRelay For Life advisor since the event was first held in 2002. Since then, it hasraised over $750,000 for the AmericanCancer Society.

A Model of IT EfficiencySU was one of 16 colleges and universitiesnationwide honored as a “Model ofEfficiency” in April’s University Businessmagazine. After purchasing an enterpriseresource planning system, SU staffers foundgaps in several key areas. The tech team(below), working with offices across campus,developed solutions that were both easierand more economical than other alternatives,saving Salisbury more than $20,000 a year indirect maintenance costs. In the process ofcreating new software, the IT Departmentdigitized forms, helping to save paper at aUniversity already known for its sustainablepractices. In addition, eCampus News namedSU its eCampus of the Month. The honor ispresented to colleges and universities withoutstanding information technology services.

Going Green Gets NoticedFor the third consecutive year, The Princeton Review, in partnershipwith the U.S. Green Building Council(USGBC), named SU one of thenation’s most environmentallyresponsible colleges. The University isfeatured in the Guide to 322 GreenColleges, which highlights impressiveenvironmental and sustainabilityprograms at campuses across thecountry. “I am honored thatThe Princeton Reviewagain recognized SU forour strong commitmentto sustainability,” saidSU President JanetDudley-Eshbach. “Thisdedication is reflected inour academic offerings, includinga thriving environmental studiesprogram, and ongoing efforts to findinnovative approaches to operate moreefficiently and effectively.” The 322colleges in the guide were selectedbased on “green rating” scores fromsummer 2011 online profiles andannual guidebooks. SU’s rating was 86,on a scale of 60-99. In 2008, SU’sTeacher Education and TechnologyCenter became the first LEED-certifiednew construction project on theEastern Shore, earning Silver status.Since then, the new Sea Gull Squareapartment-retail complex has garneredSilver, and Perdue Hall and renovatedPocomoke Hall earned Gold. Otherrecent initiatives include a DiningServices partnership with Delaware-based Blue Hen Organics (below) todefer some nine tons of food wastefrom local landfills weekly. At BlueHen’s composting facility, waste iscompressed into fertilizer pellets forarea farmers and SU’s greenhouse.

SU opened its largest building andnewest residence hall. The 230,000-square-foot Sea Gull Square (SGS), amixed-use development with retailbusinesses on the ground floorservicing the campus and greatercommunity, provides a striking gatewayfor visitors arriving from the south. The$45 million complex opened its doorsto some 600 students last fall and, aspredicted, is a hit with residents, saidDr. Dane Foust, vice president ofstudent affairs. Nearly twice the size ofHolloway Hall (SU’s oldest building andthe first to house students), SGS offersapartments and amenities rarely seen intraditional dormitories. SGS residentslive in 156 apartment-style units, mostof them four bedroom, two bath, with akitchen, washer and dryer, and commonarea. Each student has his or her ownroom. The main floor has a conferenceroom for meetings and a faculty office

and apartment to foster living learninginteractions. Among the facility’spopular features is the RinnierMultipurpose Room, made possible bya $50,000 gift from Blair Rinnier, theRinnier family and Rinnier DevelopmentCompany as part of SU’s Campaign2012. This high-tech SMART room isused for classes, including a LivingLearning Community, and for specialresidence life programs. There is alsoan engaging black-and-white pictorialhistory of the University, dating back toits earliest days. From the highway,visitors are welcomed by Sea GullSquare’s eye-catching illuminated clocktower that can be seen from as faraway as the University’s athleticcomplex, located across Route 13.Currently, several national and localretailers occupy part of the 23,000square feet of commercial space on thestreet level.

Faculty Explore Film & TVBooks published by two Fulton Schoolfaculty shed light on an importantdirector and British television. Writer-director Richard Linklater’sindependent films are as well known ashis commercial movies. Dr. DavidJohnson (below, top), EnglishDepartment, however, wasdisappointed there was not morescholarly information available on thedirector or his movies.He seeks to changethat with his book,Richard Linklater, partof the University ofIllinois Press’Contemporary FilmDirectors series. Inaddition to repeatedand immersive viewingsof Linklater’s films,Johnson spent a considerable amountof time speaking with the directorhimself, providing insightfulconversations that come through inthe book. Dr. Darrell Newton (below),Communication Arts Department,published Paving the Empire Road:BBC Television and Black Britons. Heexamines how, unknown to many inthe United Kingdom and UnitedStates, West Indian immigrants beganinfluencing broadcast policies at theBBC in the 1930s. As racial tensionsmounted over the next severaldecades, the corporation used inputfrom these and other black Britons toproduce programming aimed atpromoting understanding amongindividuals despite racism,discrimination and what was calledEngland’s “colour bar.” Much ofNewton’s research was based onrecords from the BBC’s archive.

Pandey Project Aids ELsA growing number of Delmarva’s K-12students have little or no understanding ofclassroom lessons due to language barriers.In some places, English Learners (ELs) haveincreased 400 percent in recent years. Dr. Anjali Pandey (above), an appliedlinguistics professor in the EnglishDepartment, earned $2 million from the U.S. Department of Education for aTARGET-Phase II project designed to aidrural Delmarva teachers in better assistingELs, especially in the areas of science,technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM). The only Maryland proposal fundedin the 2011 competition, Pandey’s niche

cohort program was selected from over 230nationwide. Historically, it is one of SU’slargest grants. Topics explored in thesegraduate-level courses range fromintercultural learning and second languageacquisition to STEM linguistic literacy.Training also includes English as a SecondLanguage (ESOL) program managementand assessment, and Teaching English as aSecond Language (TESOL) methodology.Teachers from over 100 schools in sevenDelmarva counties participate. Pandey saidthe initiative is necessary because budgetconstraints in rural schools make itincreasingly difficult to hire and support EL-only teachers.

HENSON SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYSU Becomes REU SiteThe National Science Foundation selectedSU as an official Research Experiences forUndergraduates (REU) site in the fields ofcomputer and information science andengineering. Dr. Enyue (Annie) Lu,Mathematics and Computer ScienceDepartment, proposed the $306,408 projectnamed “EXERCISE: Explore EmergingComputing in Science and Engineering.” Atotal of 24 students from across the countrystudy at SU for three consecutive summers.They explore new parallel programmingmodels such as GPGPU and MapReduce,which allow for complex, simultaneouscalculations. Through the interdisciplinaryREU program, students pursue individualresearch projects with help from experiencedfaculty mentors. All involve using parallelprocessing systems to quickly solve complexproblems. Subjects include analyzingpatterns across social networks,reconstructing medical images, increasingfunction speeds for geographic informationsystems, and strengthening computer andnetwork security. Visits to NASA’s WallopsFlight Facility and Johns Hopkins University’sStorage Systems Lab are part of theprogram. Students also may present research results at regional and nationalprofessional conferences.

At the ribbon-cutting of the Richard A.Henson Medical Simulation Center, a $1 million gift for the center from theRichard A. Henson Foundation, Inc.was announced. The center servesstudents across disciplines, includingnursing and health sciences, as well ascommunity health providers. Underthe guidance of faculty, they haveopportunities to practice potentiallylife-saving skills, often involvingcollaboration and teamwork, in a safeand regulated environment. Throughsimulation, they develop evaluationand treatment techniques to best carefor patients. The $1.15 million buildingproject is part of SU’s ongoing effortsto help reduce the national nursingshortage in the local area and beyond.Offering nearly 5,000 square feet ofpractical space, the center replicates amedical office, with a waiting roomand nurses’ station. Featured are four

specialized labs for LDRP (Labor,Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum),neonatal, pediatric and adult care.High-fidelity, computerized, life-likemannequins help replicate demandingand unpredictable clinical situations,allowing students to make real-timedecisions and exposing them to a widerange of conditions includingpremature births, diseases andphysical injuries. In a mental healthwing, actors serve as “patients” withvarious psychiatric issues to helpstudents learn effective interventiontechniques. Cameras throughout thefacility record student interactions forlater critique by peers and faculty. Thecenter offers room for growth andexpansion with the possible inclusionof lab space for future use by appliedhealth physiology graduate studentsengaged in fitness, rehabilitation andsports performance analysis.

Mapping Maryland & BeyondGeography students (below) are garneringreal-world experience through SU’sinterdisciplinary GNAppWorks (Governmentand Nonprofit Application Development)program. The Nature Conservancy’s “Put aNaturalist in Your Pocket” initiative was thefirst project tackled by the group. Anyoneexploring the conservancy’s preserves acrossMaryland and the Washington, D.C.,metropolitan area may download audio tourapps created by SU students. The audio tourdownloads include geo-enabled trail mapswith numbered sites – and mp3 tracks toplay at each site. Geography students alsoassisted the state legislature by creatinglarge, full-color maps of land use in each ofMaryland’s new legislative districts for all 188state senators and delegates.

SEIDEL SCHOOL OF EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL

State Teachers of the YearWhen the Maryland Department ofEducation announced its 24 countyTeachers of the Year for 2011, ninewere SU alumni – more than any othercampus represented. One of thosehonored, Chad Pavlekovich (above), aWicomico County middle schoolscience teacher, was among thefinalists in the running to be crownedMaryland Teacher of the Year. In thepast decade, three members of the SUcommunity have been honored withthe statewide Teacher of the Year title.In addition, 25 percent of this year’s 20finalists for neighboring Delaware’sTeacher of the Year were members ofthe Salisbury community. Two SUgraduates have won the prestigiousMilken Educator Award, sometimescalled “the Oscars for teaching.” Yet another has been honored withThe Washington Post’s DistinguishedEducational Leadership Award, andUSA Today has named one among thetop teachers in the nation. In nearbyWorcester County, so many goodthings have resulted from a Board ofEducation-SU partnership, that theNational Association of ProfessionalDevelopment Schools took notice. Itbestowed them with the 2011Exemplary Professional DevelopmentSchool Achievement Award – one ofonly five presented nationwide.

Social Workers in the “Field”Social work students are making life healthierfor the homeless and other vulnerablepopulations through a community gardencreated by HALO (Hope and Life Outreach).Four students in the Macro Social WorkPractice course have worked hard to supportthe newly constructed garden located onwhat was a gravel and dirt parking lot nearSU’s campus. They raised over $800 andbought HALO a bird bath, bird feederscomplete with seed, a wheel barrow and fiveberry bushes. Willing to get their hands dirtyin addition to fundraising, the four youngwomen spent a day working the garden(below), creating a new garden space andplanting the bushes they purchased. Thecommunity project not only provides freshfruit and vegetables to HALO clients, butalso encourages clients and organizers towork in the garden, creating additionalhealth benefits. The students aiding HALOare just one out of 39 teams who completedprojects to benefit the community during thesemester. Through the course and theexperiences of volunteering, social workstudents learned to work with communitiesand organizations to improve theirfunctioning – a skill that will benefit themgreatly in their career path.

Student PDS PresentationsEngaging skits about the environment,special writing projects, Web page design,crisis planning – these are some of the topicseducation students presented at the 2012Professional Development Schools (PDS)National Conference in Las Vegas. With themat the conference were support faculty andstaff (below). Together, they talked abouttheir PDS site internships, sharing examplesof lessons planned and delivered withmentor teachers. They also discussed theiraction research projects, such as studying theimpact of sensorimotor breaks on workcompletion. Their legacy projects addressedschool improvement goals includingresearching and creating recommendedbook lists. In a second “open mic” session,they shared wishes for future PDS programs.

SALISBURY UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION, INC.Sea Gull Century Tops 8KMore than 8,000 cyclists participated in SU’s23rd annual Sea Gull Century bike ride.Enjoying the flat terrain of the Chesapeakeregion, cycling enthusiasts came from as faraway as Canada, the Virgin Islands andsome 40 states. The ride has been called a“Best Bicycling in America” event and alsowas named among the top 10 century ridesin the nation by Bicycling magazine. The Ride Magazine called it “one of theprettiest big rides in America.” Not only is itWicomico County’s largest one-day tourismevent, but the Perdue School of Businesshas estimated its annual economic impacton the Lower Shore at $2.5 million. Allproceeds from the ride support programson campus and in the community, includingstudent scholarships and the local chapterof Habitat for Humanity.

SU concluded Campaign 2012, a highlysuccessful fundraising initiative thatexceeded its original goal by millions –thanks to community and campussupporters. The initial campaign targetwas $25 million. Unparalleled supportled that total to be increased twice.The campaign surpassed its goal bynearly $15 million, concluding justinches from $40 million. “SalisburyUniversity has a history of doing morewith less. I believe that is one reasonSU has been ranked a ‘Best Value’nationally,” said President JanetDudley-Eshbach. “Since state supportalone doesn’t allow us to provide thefacilities, programs and scholarshipsthat students need to be competitivein today’s economy, the University hasturned to the private sector. As thissuccessful campaign demonstrates,donors at all levels have beenenthusiastic and generous. They have

profoundly shaped the future of thiscampus and community. We aredeeply grateful for theirunprecedented outpouring of supportfor higher education at SalisburyUniversity.” The priorities of thecampaign were based on the needs ofthe University, as articulated in itsstrategic and facilities master plans.The top priority was scholarshipfunding, including dollars for studentsand for faculty development andrecognition. Highlights of thecampaign included a focus on plannedgiving and stewardship. SU’sPresident’s Club membership doubledand Varsity Club giving increased 300 percent. At over 16 percent lastyear, SU’s alumni giving rate also wasthe highest of University System ofMaryland institutions and double thenational average of 8 percent.

The SUFoundation, Inc. was visionary in its purchaseof the original property. The construction ofthe first residence hall on main campus intwo decades enjoyed the support of theUniversity System of Maryland. The MainStreet style was possible because ofcollaboration with Rinnier DevelopmentCompany in partnership with R. ClaytonEmory. Some 23,000 square feet arededicated to ground-floor retail space, whichRinnier and Emory developed. There are 11

retail spaces on the lower level of Sea GullSquare, topped by a residence hall with 185apartment-style units. Among thosebusinesses leasing the space are PembertonApothecary, Roly Poly and Designer’s EdgeHair Salon. The University’s continuousgrowth is a major attraction for businesseslooking to infiltrate a lucrative market, whichSU officials say pumps roughly $400 millioninto the local economy each year. Recentconstruction has contributed an additional$300 million to the local economy, accordingto the Perdue School’s Business, Economicand Community Outreach Network.
