“As a Sullivan Society member, I know that I am providing a meaningful contribution that provides invaluable resources to students, such as scholarships and career services. Being a recent graduate, I wanted to give back in a significant way to a school that provided a great foundation for my success.”
-Nicole E. Goggin ’14, ‘17G
“Bottom line, Salem State is where I started my life, and made everything possible. I am forever grateful. If I can make college easier for even one student, I’ll know I’ve made an impact.”
-Michael Monteforte, Jr. ‘98
