A Message from the President We are still here! Thanks to the diligence of our campus community, as I write this, Salisbury University has remained open to its students and continues to produce the cultural and educational events that we are delighted to share with you. Once again, this publication of Panorama is a bit different – some events don’t have dates yet and the way to register for online access is evolving. Due to the impact of COVID-19, all public events continue in a virtual format, with most requiring preregistration. Instead of a calendar format, again we’ve grouped events by sponsor to make it easier to understand the unique way each group is delivering its offerings. If you aren’t already in the habit, please be sure to visit our campus events webpage – www.salisbury.edu/events – frequently to see the latest information on all our offerings. As we’ve adapted to our virtual environment, this page has evolved into a sort of online Panorama. We invite you to drop in on one or all of the classes that are part of our annual, spring Changing Climate: Changing World Series, this year focusing on “Climate to COVID: Seeing the Syndemic.” SU’s Institute for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement provides opportunities to explore issues surrounding our recent election. For those looking for professional development, both our School of Social Work and Center for Healthy Communities have courses, conferences and lectures to support your needs. Our long-standing Philosophy Symposium and celebrations of African American History Month and Women’s History Month return this spring, and our new Creative Writing Reading Series continues as well. The Music, Theatre and Dance Department is Changing Climate: finalizing its spring calendar, so stay tuned for details on Changing World its students' usual amazing performances. Series • p. 7 If you are yearning for a little in-person culture, our Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art and SU Art Galleries – Downtown Campus are both open to the public, following their screening protocols. In the summer, the Ward Museum hosts its revamped Photo Festival, which is currently virtual, and its annual Delmarvalous Festival returns, which is planning to have some in-person outdoor activities. Our Nabb Research Center continues its engaging series of exhibits available through its website, including a look at “The Power of Humanity: The Red Cross on Delmarva.” I hope you took advantage of our fall events and continue to connect with SU in the spring. Our faculty and students have shown remarkable resiliency and are producing amazing works, which we know you will enjoy, either virtually or in person when we have overcome the pandemic. I look forward to the day we can rejoin our community on campus freely, but in the meantime, we’ll reach out to you through our screens with the best we have to offer. Be well and I hope to see you soon!
