VIKING WARRIOR DAY: 1,854 MINUTES OF VIKING PRIDE! CELEBRATE THE IMPACT OF PHILANTHROPY! 

Thank you to our remarkable alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends for coming together once again to show your Viking pride and support the areas of campus you love. For 1,584 minutes, the Viking community supported student groups, centers, departments, and other areas of campus in our most tremendous day of giving. 

 We are thrilled to share that two extraordinary gifts were realized this Viking Warrior Day:  Salem State received $307,431 from the estate of Arlene Frances Nihan '54 and the Davis Educational Foundation made a $274,274 gift in support of a STEM redesign team project at the university.

We thank Arlene, and her family, and the Davis Educational Foundation for their generous leadership commitments!
