Please note attending the show will be at your own discretion, however the dinner has been cancelled. Parade participation will also be at your own discretion but the luncheon which follows has also been cancelled.
Although we understand that this decision may cause inconvenience or disappointment for our alumni and friends who were planning to participate, the health and well-being of our Salem State community members is our first priority.
