“We know how difficult the past year has been for Salem students and their families,” Salem Academy and College Interim President Susan Henking said. “I’m incredibly proud of how our students have adapted, persevered, and succeeded and look forward to joining our faculty to confer degrees and celebrate accomplishments at Salem College’s Commencement and Salem Academy’s Graduation.”

2021 End of Year Events Schedule
Traditionally, in April and May, we celebrate our graduates as the academic year draws to a close. This year will be no exception! Some events will be virtual—live or web-based—while others will be in person, either on Salem’s beautiful campus or Winston-Salem’s professional ballpark. Through it all, we will remember what makes Salem College special and highlight the accomplishments of our graduates!
Please review the schedule of events below. Full details are still in the planning stages and we will keep you updated as they evolve. Graduating seniors, we will be sending a form to you soon to find out if you will be attending Commencement and who will be joining you on this special day.
To everyone, good luck in the coming weeks and as always, best wishes and stay safe.
“Then sing we of Salem ever, as proudly her name we bear, long may our praise re-echo. Far may our song ring clear!”
