For its 22nd year, the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce will welcome Salisbury University, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Wor-Wic Community College students to Delmarva with its Welcome College Students Program.
Through generous sponsorship from Hebron Savings Bank and Clear Channel, the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce will purchase billboards and posters displaying a “Welcome College Students” message.
Starting August 18, a welcome message will be displayed on billboards in five prominent locations throughout Salisbury, Fruitland, and Princess Anne for a duration of four weeks. Additionally, posters welcoming students will be placed around college campuses and at local businesses during the college move-in period.
Local business owners that have marquees are encouraged to display the message “Welcome College Students.”
The Welcome College Students Program was started in 2004 by Stephanie Willey, Past SACC President and general manager of 47abc WMDT, as an effort to encourage positive relationships between local college students and the business community.
