On September 7, 1925, the State Normal School at Salisbury opened its doors to students for the first time. As SU approaches its 100th anniversary in fall 2025, the University has announced a 32-member steering committee to plan the centennial celebration.

Comprised of SU students, faculty, staff, administrators and alumni, as well as members of the greater community, the committee will be divided into eight subcommittees: Alumni and Parent Engagement, Communications and Marketing, Community Engagement, Education and Academic Events, Fundraising, History and Legacy, Special Events, and Student Engagement.

“While this committee will guide our efforts for the SU centennial, the celebration will be a massive undertaking, involving many more members of the campus and greater communities in planning and implementation,” said Jason Curtin ’98, SU vice president of advancement and alumni engagement; executive director of the SU Foundation, Inc.; and SU Centennial chair. “Above all, we want to make our 100th anniversary a year to remember.”
