On May 1, 2019, the ´ºÃÎÖ±²¥ community came together for the second-ever Viking Warrior Day! This year, the day was extended to 1,854 minutes in honor of Salem State’s founding year. During that time, Vikings came together like never before to celebrate what it means to be a Viking and feel pride in our community. Signs and banners were hung all over campus to draw attention to the many areas on campus that are made possible through donor support.

Our donors are an invaluable part of our community, and we wanted to thank them in a big way. You could not walk a few feet without seeing a sign thanking our generous donors for their contributions and for helping drive Salem State forward. Events took place all over campus to bring people together, and posts were shared on social media throughout the day to create a virtual celebration for those who couldn’t make it to campus.

In the span of 1,854 minutes, donations were received from 320 alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends to support our on-going efforts of creating an affordable and excellent educational experience for our students, totaling $58,914—a 72 percent increase over the previous year. We couldn’t have done it without you. Until next year—go, Vikings!
