During a festive ceremony on Tuesday, April 26, his alma mater recognized his devotion to learning, to the Eastern Shore and to all of Maryland by rededicating its award-winning Teacher Education and Technology Center as Conway Hall.
A member of the Maryland House of Delegates from 1987-2015 and chair of its Appropriations Committee from 2003-2014, Conway was instrumental in helping SU secure funding for the building, which opened in 2008. During his tenure with the legislature, he also supported the construction of SU’s Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons, Perdue Hall and Henson Science Hall; its Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art; the transfer of Delmarva Public Radio to the University; and the creation of SU’s M.S.W. program, among other projects.
“Many people may not fully understand the complexities involved in gaining funding for new academic buildings, though I think most people appreciate the challenges sometimes faced in navigating the political waters of Annapolis,” said SU President Janet Dudley-Eshbach. “For nearly three decades, Salisbury University and this entire region had an extremely influential advocate working on our behalf in Delegate Norman Conway. His efforts were significant in shaping the University’s ability to grow and expand over the past 15 years. The name Conway Hall will remind current and future students of what he has done for this campus and what they, too, can accomplish with an SU education.”

Go Figure. When you dump millions upon millions of dollars of TAXPAYER money like Norm did into that University, well, they dedicate something to you. God Forbid, Lord only knows what will be dedicated to Jim Ireton in Salisbury one day.
yeah and they also want to tear down anything celebrating anyone that participated in the Civil War ... go figure ...some day they will go after Norm for being a Capitalist
I didn't know that many people liked country music at SU, especially to name a hall after Conway Twitty!
