A special shoutout to the students from Salisbury University’s Exercise Science program for leading engaging exercise demonstrations and sharing practical tips to help our community build strength and stay active.

What a great start to our 2026 Tax Clinic sessions at USG! We’re proud to partner with the Equity Center’s VITA Program and deeply grateful for the dedicated volunteers who make this valuable service possible for our community.
A special thank you to the students and leadership at the Robert H. Smith School of Business for championing this initiative and ensuring we continue to have highly trained, committed student volunteers year after year. Your leadership and service truly make a difference.
We also extend our appreciation to SECU for sharing valuable financial literacy information with participants during the clinic. Your support helps strengthen the overall impact of this program.
