A FRAMEWORK FOR SUCCESS

Meet the Moment ™ addresses our community’s greatest needs and positions us to make a positive, tangible impact on student success through a $75 million comprehensive campaign.

This landmark initiative advances our mission on multiple fronts:

• We will dramatically enhance student financial assistance to ensure a Salem State education remains accessible throughout our communities.

• The integration of even more innovative, studentcentered programming into our academic offerings will give students not only the skills and knowledge to succeed in their lives and careers, but also the support they need to excel in the classroom.

• Support for unrestricted giving will provide us with the flexibility to respond to emerging needs and the capacity to seize unexpected opportunities, such as investing in powerful Bloomberg Terminals that provide business students with industry-standard tools of the trade, or enabling liberal arts students to present original works at academic conferences.

• Through the SSU BOLD initiative, we will reimagine Salem State’s physical spaces unifying our campus, creating the leading-edge science facilities required by today’s students and fostering a stronger, more cohesive campus community.

Together, these priorities represent a collective leap forward for our university by providing our students with a stronger intellectual and social support system. They also signify our commitment to fostering a dynamic and thriving community that meets students where they are, celebrates diversity and inclusion and creates equitable, affordable pathways to personal and professional fulfillment.

“We are at an inflection point in history in which we are being called to stand for what is right. Meet the Moment ™ inspires me to take that stand. Salem State students are some of the most awe-inspiring individuals: Their grit and determination rival their intelligence. This campaign is our opportunity to create meaningful change that will help students thrive at the university, to achieve their goals and instill a sense of purpose to empower them to go on to meet their own moments throughout their lives.”
