Local Businesses Welcome Back College Students

The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce is once again welcoming returning students to our local colleges.

August marks the twelfth year of the College Welcome Program that connects local businesses and residents with Salisbury University, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Wor-Wic Community College students.

The Chamber’s College Welcome Program annual organizes a three-week welcome campaign. PNC Bank is the “Welcome College Student” Program Sponsor.  The sponsorship allowed the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce to purchase Clear Channel Outdoor billboards displaying the “Welcome College Student” message and welcome posters printed for businesses to display in their windows.

The College Welcome Program was developed to strengthen ties between businesses and their college consumers. College students are a vital part of the community and the Chamber of Commerce, City and County Council and Wicomico County Tourism want to make sure students are aware of their importance.
