President’s Corner

It is the time in academia that we turn our attention to end-of-year activities—Academy Graduation (Saturday, May 29), College Commencement (Saturday, May 8), and other events associated with both entities. It is hard to imagine these in-person events are coming so soon.

As importantly, our Founders Day celebration (Friday, April 23) allows us to celebrate the ways our history and mission are one. We will hear from an alumna with deep roots in our history—Elizabeth D. Baird C’83, whose words of wisdom and reflection will, I know, honor our past and ignite our future. We hope you will join us, together with the Academy and College, as we do so.

As we celebrate, we honor, as well, your generosity in supporting the Spring for Salem giving day last week, the many ways all of you support our students, and the work of so many behind the scenes making Salem what it is and building toward tomorrow and our next 250. Please join us in posting on social media, reaching out to potential students, opening doors to new friends whether corporate or personal, and continuing to move us forward.

Both the Academy and College are committed to creating and sustaining leaders. You show us how. And, you connect us to our future.

Susan Henking
Interim President

Dean Richard Vinson and Dean Betty Telford to Retire

Dean Richard Vinson

Richard Vinson

Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Undergraduate Studies Richard Vinson will retire from Salem on December 31, 2021. This is a planned retirement that Dean Vinson has considered for some time. As we move toward his December retirement, we will work in phases to ensure that Dean Vinson and others will provide a smooth transition for students.

As part of the transition process, Dean Vinson will continue to serve as Registrar and Director of Institutional Research through December. Dean Prosterman will announce shortly a plan to search for a new Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Undergraduate Studies.

Interim President Susan Henking described Dean Vinson as follows in a recent letter to students: “Dean Vinson’s willingness to serve Salem College has been—and continues to be—nothing short of amazing. He came to Salem as a visiting Professor of Religion in 2008 and was made a regular Professor a couple years later. He became Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies in 2012, and his title changed to Dean in 2016. In 2018, Dean Vinson also became Registrar and Director of Institutional Research, and he also served as the Interim Dean of the College during summer of 2020. When I arrived at Salem, as Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and in all these roles, he taught me to care as deeply for Salem’s students as he does. Understated as always, Dean Vinson’s work as Registrar has positively impacted every Salem College student in one way or another. In our campus community, Dean Vinson has famously served as a holder of so many different hats, ultimately creating a role for himself that has proven vital to the evolution of Salem College.”

Dean Betty Telford

Betty Telford, Dean of the Martha H. Fleer Center, has decided to retire effective June 30, 2021. The fact that we will miss her daily leadership on Salem’s campus is outweighed by our happiness for Dean Telford’s ability to fulfill her desire to spend more time with her family and enjoy her many hobbies and activities, including kayaking, tennis, and hiking.

Dean Telford’s accomplishments during the last four years while serving as Interim Dean and Dean of the Fleer Center include: assisting with admissions related events for potential adult students; creating an advising template that provides a clear pathway for adult students; consistently achieving a retention rate above the national average for adult students; reformatting the Fleer Center scholarship program with more than 50% of the Fleer students participating and receiving tuition assistance; developing an interactive orientation program that provides a foundation for new adult students and is led by adult students; advocating for adult student representation on campus committees and in adult student leadership roles; starting a commencement cap and gown loaner program for adult students; developing a faculty network that provides textbook assistance for adults; creating a series of adult social events that provided fellowship and support; enhancing the atmosphere for adult learners to feel welcome in multigenerational classrooms and in the Salem community; swerving on numerous committees to provide adult student perspective.

Dean Telford’s impact on Salem as a whole and particularly on the thousands of students who have studied at the Fleer Center is profound. Personally—and collectively on behalf of the Salem’s students, alumnae, staff, and faculty—we offer our deepest appreciation to Dean Telford and our utmost gratitude for her many, many accomplishments.

Reunion 2021

Reunion 2021 will look a little different than previous years due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Office of Alumnae Engagement has put together a month-long slate of virtual events to help you get your Salem fix! Open to all classes, with special recognition of the classes ending in 0s, 1s, 5s, and 6s, join your friends in live sessions or watch later at your convenience. You will find recaps of two events that have already occurred (Wine and Design with John Hutton and the Spring for Salem giving day further down in this newsletter) and will find information on upcoming events below.

Reunion Giving

Calling all classes ending in 1s and 6s, and the Class of 2020! Every year Reunion gifts are critical to Salem meeting our College Fund goal. We will be announcing our 2021 totals to date at the Alumnae Association event on Saturday, April 24. The Reunion giving deadline has been extended to June 30. Give today at salem.edu/give, by phone at 336-721-2607, or mail a check to Salem College, Office of Institutional Advancement, 601 South Church Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101. Thank you for supporting Salem!

Brenda Gerding

Brenda Gerding C’81 encourages you to make a Reunion pledge: My fondest memories of my time at Salem College include bonding with my classmates over fun and silly events, small classroom sizes giving us a chance to know our professors, leadership opportunities available to everyone in a variety of interests, walking through campus as it explodes with blooms in the spring.

I look forward to our reunion activities and, since we live in Winston-Salem, we have hosted many of our class parties. We always have a blast making new Salem memories!

Salem always has been a priority in our giving. Many people do not realize that tuition does not fully cover the cost of educating a student. Other people supported Salem so that I could attend, and it is important to give back as well.

When we make five-year pledges, we are giving Salem the ability to dream big, AND are we are giving Salem the tools to achieve the dream. What better way to show support to Salem than to commit to long-term giving?

Wine and Design with John Hutton

On Thursday, April 8, alumnae from Salem Academy and College (with drinks in hand) learned how to draw the May Dell from the comfort of their own homes! With a lesson on the history of the May Dell, in addition to offering tips and tricks of drawing landscapes and buildings, Dr. John Hutton led participants through drawing the May Dell, a location near and dear to the Salem community.

Salem Academy and College Presidential Search Update

Liz Baird, C’83, Chair of the Presidential Search Committee, reported that the Presidential Search Committee recently met and continued its efforts to identify candidates whose backgrounds and experiences seem especially well matched with the qualities and qualifications established for the search. At this gathering, the search committee considered a robust and diverse pool of applicants and chose to advance a select group of outstanding candidates for confidential preliminary interviews.

The search consulting team and Baird indicated early in the process that the need for confidentiality might be a top priority for leading candidates in the search. Indeed, that remains the case. The candidates hold significant positions where they are currently. Salem wants to honor their wishes to continue to explore this exceptional opportunity at Salem with the assurances that their engagement in the search will not become widely known at their home institutions.

While many institutions choose to conduct their entire presidential search as a closed process, others, like Salem, want to ensure appropriate opportunities for constituent groups to engage confidentially with the candidates and provide feedback to the Presidential Search Committee. Members of the search committee are thoughtfully identifying these opportunities for members of the Academy and College community, beyond the search committee, to be engaged in the final stage of candidate evaluation slated for next month. Additional student, faculty, staff, and other representatives of the Salem community will meet with the finalists and help to shape the consideration of them, while still meeting the privacy wishes of this distinguished group. Moreover, these community members will aid the search committee in championing all that is good and great about Salem Academy and College to the candidates.

The Search Committee will continue to provide regular updates to Salem Academy and College alumnae and the campus community. Visit Salem Academy and College Presidential Search for updates.

Road to the 250th: Founders Day

Depending on when you graduated, this day evokes different memories of Salem. For the past forty years, the celebrations have been marked by the image of Academy seniors in white cap and gown and College seniors in black cap and gown processing into the May Dell. Salem’s community gathers annually to celebrate the origins of Salem Academy and College in 1772, but who were the founders and how has the celebration changed over the decades?

The spring Founders Day celebration that we know today began in 1980. The use of April 30 as a founding date is based on Moravian Church records, which note that the first schoolgirls were taught in a room of Salem’s Gemeinhaus in April 1772. Unfortunately, the record does not include the specific date when the first class was held. In the 20th century, the decision was made to use the last day of the month when the rents were calculated as the founding date. For a short period of time in the 20th century, the Founders Day celebration was moved to February to commemorate the date in 1866 when Salem Female Academy was incorporated by the legislature of North Carolina.

For many years, however, Founders Day celebrations were held in October. The fall date was chosen to honor the decision on October 31, 1802 to “call” the first inspector to create a boarding school open to the daughters of Moravians and non-Moravians. The call process, still used today to appoint ministers of Moravian congregations, was used because the first 12 leaders of the school were ministers. As Margaret Blair McCuiston, College Class of 1914, described it:

“I have vivid recollections of the Founders Day Observances from 1907 to 1913. We had a holiday from classes. The Boarding pupils were taken on an outing. Sometimes the day pupils (of which I was one) joined them. The observance was (then) always in October but sometimes the exact day was changed.”

By the mid-20th century, the annual fall celebration of Founders Day was, in the words of one College alumna from the class of 1980, “the big fun” day with class themes, songs, skits, and costumes. In the academic year 1979-1980, the name of this event was changed to Fall Fest, a very popular College tradition still practiced today, and the Founders Day celebration was moved to April. 

According to the program for the first spring Founders Day celebration in 1980, then as today, all Academy and College students gathered for the senior procession, which was followed by the Founders Day Address delivered by Dr. Dale H. Gramley, who had retired just nine years earlier. Dr. Gramley was Salem’s 13th president and the first who was not an ordained minister.

Regarding the question of who is celebrated on Founders Day, there is no one answer. Elisabeth Oesterlein was the first teacher, but she did not start the school on her own. In 1922, Adelaide Fries, 1890 graduate of Salem College and renowned Moravian archivist, argued that the founders were the fathers who hired Oesterlein to educate their daughters. Others look to the Moravian congregation of Salem, which is celebrating its own 250th anniversary this fall, and to the Single Sisters, who taught generations of Salem students and provided financial support to the school. Certainly, the existence of Salem Academy and College would not have been possible if not for the unusual Moravian practice of educating girls, as well as boys. So the answer is, Salem, like many lasting institutions, was founded by a community of dedicated people working together toward a common goal.

250 Celebration: “Past, Present, and Future” Art Exhibition

As part of Salem’s 250th Celebration, we are presenting an exhibition, entitled “Past, Present, and Future,” in the spring of 2022 to celebrate 250 years of the arts at Salem Academy and College.

We are looking for Salem alumnae artists who might like to participate. If you are an artist, or know of a fellow Salem alumna who is an artist who would be interested in being part of this once-in-your-lifetime exhibit, please contact Beth Murray C’92, bethmurray123@gmail.com or Spence Brooks O’Neill A’97, spenceoneill@gmail.com.

We are also working with the Academy and College art faculty to create a curated portion of the exhibit, which will feature historic pieces (past) and current student work (future).

“Past, Present, and Future” will be displayed in the Elberson Fine Arts building and an opening will take place in April 2022, during or immediately before Reunion Weekend. We hope to offer online sales of the artwork to benefit Salem Academy and College.
