John D. Keenan, JD, of Salem, was inaugurated as Salem State University’s 14th president on Friday, January 19. In his address, President Keenan, a first-generation college graduate, invoked the words of Horace Mann – “education is the great equalizer” – as he emphasized the power of education to bring opportunity and change.
President Keenan added: “It’s easy for this to get lost in the day-to-day routine on campus, but we must remember that through our work at Salem State, we are fighting for equality. We are promoting democracy. And we are advancing social justice.”
