About Viking Warrior Day

For 1,854 minutes, in honor of our founding in 1854, Viking Warrior Day 2024 will be an energetic, inspiring, gathering of alumni, parents, staff, students, faculty, and friends in support of a better Salem State. The event will last from 5:06 pm on Wednesday, May 1 until 11:59 pm on Thursday, May 2.
Your gift can provide access to student scholarships, tools for our dedicated faculty and staff, and transformative experiences like study abroad, service opportunities and internships.
