As longtime supporters of Salisbury University’s music program, Dr. Peter and Judy Jackson seldom missed a performance. Just weeks before Judy’s passing in November, the University’s historical Holloway Hall Auditorium was dedicated in their honor: the Jackson Family Auditorium of Holloway Hall. Judy and Peter now are part of nearly every music performance – and many other events hosted by SU.
“The Jacksons have played an integral part in SU’s music program for decades – and will continue to do so for decades more,” said SU President Carolyn Ringer Lepre. “To know that current and future generations of Salisbury students and community members will attend concerts and other performances in the auditorium that now bears their name is a fitting tribute to a family that has created such a lasting legacy at this University.”
Last fall, the Jacksons announced an addition of $800,000 to their previous promise of $500,000 for music programs at the University. The new annual and charitable remainder trust funding brought their total endowment to $1.3 million. In December 2022, Lepre announced the naming of SU’s music program – now the Peter and Judy Jackson Music Program – in their honor.
