Dear Friends and Colleagues,
At Salus University, what sets us apart is how we come together. We have seen how Salus has grown in excellence together, and so much of that growth is because of YOU — our alumni, who have given your time, resources, and expertise to our community.
As you know, there are so many ways to support Salus University, long after you’ve hung your diploma on the wall. However, there are two avenues of support that have an incredible and lasting impact.
As an alumnus, you can have a positive impact on today’s Salus students by providing externship opportunities and serving as a preceptor, providing supervision during clinical practice, and facilitating the application of concepts and theories in practice. Externships provide real-life experience for students so they can put their classroom and lab learning directly to work. Preceptors evaluate student performance and provide guidance and mentorship as they build their professional skills. Whether you are working in optometry, audiology, occupational therapy, physician assistant, or rehabilitation, there are students who need your support and expertise during their educational journey.
If you’re interested in providing an externship or serving as a preceptor at an existing
externship site, please contact alumni@salus.edu.
The other impactful way you can continue to support the Salus community is by making a financial donation. The generous contributions of our alumni and friends, along with many philanthropic foundations and companies, make it possible for our students to proceed on an educational path that is focused and fulfilling. Together, our supporters ensure that the medical professionals we educate, train, and graduate have a positive effect on every corner of the globe. Your support — whether it’s a one-time donation right now, a recurring pledge over the next five years, or even a planned gift that will ensure the strength of your Salus legacy — makes it possible for us to be a transformative and immeasurable source of good health, now and for years to come.
To make a financial donation and help support Salus students who are striving to join
your ranks, please contact me at 215.780.1397 or jpatterson@salus.edu.
Please stay in touch with us! We look forward to connecting with you in person or virtually over the coming year. And thank you for continuing to support Salus. Together, we are a force for the future.

Vice President of Institutional Advancement and Community Relations
