About Viking Warrior Day
Starting on Monday, May 8 at 5:06 pm, the Salem State community will come together with Viking spirit for our sixth annual day of giving—the opportunity to transform lives by building a better, stronger, more affordable Salem State.
For 1,854 minutes, in honor of our founding in 1854, Viking Warrior Day 2023 will be an energetic, inspiring, gathering of alumni, parents, staff, students, faculty, and friends in support of a better Salem State. The event will last from 5:06 pm on Monday, May 8 until 11:59 pm on Tuesday, May 9.
Your gift can provide access to student scholarships, tools for our dedicated faculty and staff, and transformative experiences like study abroad, service opportunities and internships.
Now in our sixth year, Viking Warrior Day has raised nearly $1 million, including $352,654 in funds received as matches over the last five giving day events!
