Salem Resident Named to Salem State Foundation Board

Michael Stockbridge, of Salem, has been named to the Foundation Board at Salem State University.

A psychotherapist for Psychological Care Associates in Woburn since 2010, Stockbridge holds two diplomas from Salem State, a bachelor’s (1999) and master’s (2002) degree, both in social work. He has several years of experience as a clinician at the Riverside Outpatient Clinic in Wakefield and at the Center for Health and Recovery in Salem.

“Mike’s wonderful sense of humor and commitment to Salem State through his endowed scholarship are wonderful reasons we’re excited to have him helping the foundation move to the next level of excellence,” said Gina Deschamps, president of the Salem State University Foundation Board.

“He’s the first dual-degree social work graduate to serve on the foundation board and we’re pleased he’s agreed to join us,” Deschamps added.

Stockbridge is a member of the National Association of Social Workers.

Working with the university and other partners, the Salem State Foundation operates under the leadership of a 19-member board of directors comprised of alumni and community leaders who take their roles seriously as stewards of contributed private funds. The foundation’s purpose is to raise and manage charitable gifts in support of the university through active fundraising and advocacy.
