A pioneer in the commuter aviation industry, Henson endowed the school bearing his name with another multi-million-dollar donation in 1987. This latest marks the 30th anniversary of that initial commitment.
“The Richard A. Henson Foundation continues to uphold its namesake’s values and philanthropic beliefs throughout the community and specifically at Salisbury University,” said SU President Janet Dudley-Eshbach. “Mr. Henson’s support made possible the outstanding science and technology programs we offer today. We are proud that his legacy continues not only on campus, but through the many students and alumni who have benefitted from his generosity over the past three decades.”
Ten years after his initial endowment, Henson donated another $1 million for new science equipment. In 2011, the Henson Foundation announced an additional $1 million gift to establish the University’s Richard A. Henson Medical Simulation Center. Today, that legacy continues.
“The Richard A. Henson Foundation is extremely pleased to continue and expand our commitment to Salisbury University and the Henson School of Science and Technology,” said Victor Laws, chair of the Henson Foundation’s board of trustees. “Our new gift will establish or enhance the following programs: student scholarships, a science and math honors program, undergraduate and faculty research, and student conference travel. Our gift will also help fund a new high-performance computer lab, and assist in the repair and replacement of critical Henson School instructional equipment.”

ReplyDeleteDid you see Harvey Weinstein gave $$$$ to the Manhattan DAs campaign and then no charges were brought because of lack of evidence ? Even though they had Weinstein on audio admitting the abuse
Can you say HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Here's a novel idea. Why don't they offer more PhD programs. They have Doctoral programs like an Ed.D program for "teachers" and an DNP program for nurses. That is a very limited discipline.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they invest in a PhD in Organizational Leadership. There is one at UMES, but that program doesn't work for me or many others. It's a weekend only program. Well most of us have families and our weekends together are important. Consider people like myself. Some people just don't want to go to UMES because it is UMES. A school full of crimes and people that aren't there to get an education, but a diploma.
Why not start a Doctor of Osteopathic Medical School at SU so that we can get more doctors on the Eastern Shore. That way we can get more DO's in the area.
With UMES failing with the Physicians Assistant program they are no longer producing PA-C's any more.
Makes sense to me.
Well here's the "informed" opinion of a PRMC employee clearly.
DeleteThey can't offer it. UMD won't allow it, it would compete with UMES.
DeleteIt would appear that your schools language arts program gave you nothing, 1:08.
ReplyDelete1:08 that's right son, education is the devil!
ReplyDeleteDO's are barely a step above chiropractors. Go to a MD.
ReplyDelete1:42 why don't you put up the money for the extra staff that's needed for the courses? Why are you complaining because the college closest to you doesn't have the program you want to go for? Welcome to reality.
ReplyDeleteThe bells were a gift from a private donor, as was the tower.

that's what these small minds from smallsbury only know how to do. they can't contribute anything intelligent so they screw with the ones who can. they are so proud of their 5th grade level of learning they want to show it off every chance they get
Waste of $$$ on LiberL future communists.

ReplyDeleteAs noted, the bells and tower were a gift.
A D.O. has the same privileges as a M.D. but there is more emphasis on muscle and skeleton in training. Have been treated by both.
Skepticism about many UMES offerings is warranted by the facts. But duplicating existing programs a few miles apart is a non-starter these days.
And the foundation that Mr. Henson established will keep giving for eternity. Brilliant and generous man that set up a foundation, run by trustees to invest his endowment to the foundation, and charitably distribute 5% of the value of the trust every year. It will never go broke, and the value of the donations will fluctuate as the trust grows in good investment years, and diminishes in the not so good years. The man continues to give back to the community long after his death. He gives a good name to many of the wealthy that can't spend all that they were blessed with, and see to it that it helps society long after they are gone. (But we won't get into the tax benefit that he enjoyed by setting up the foundation and protecting it's value from being taxed, which allowed him to decide how the money is spent, and not the government) Brilliant!

I bet you don't work for nothing! Neither do they. And by the size of the donations they make on behalf of the foundation, they are good at what they do. They should be well paid for their service to the foundation. It's not "skimming" and they are not volunteers. They are paid employees. Whoops, I forgot the !!!!!!
Bells that Noone can even see or care to see , were a BIG
