In just a couple of weeks, our students will be back on campus ready to start a new year! We’re kicking things off with our First Year Day of Service on August 30, a chance for first-year students, staff, faculty, alumni and community organizations to come together for a day of service in the greater Salem area. This year, 250 students will volunteer at 25 organizations in Salem, Lynn, Beverly, Peabody, Marblehead and Danvers. There’s still time to sign-up if you’re interested!
We're excited to welcome the class of 2023!
Here’s the latest fast facts about our newest class of Vikings:
- 1,023 incoming first-year students.
- 94 percent are from Massachusetts.
- 69 percent live less than 20 miles away!
- 41 percent of students will live on campus this year.
Join us in welcoming our new Vikings. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!
