Please consider a gift today in memory of Deane Deshon, one of Sea Gull baseball's founders and a pillar of Salisbury athletics.

"Coach Deshon took me under his wing in 1994. He embraced and empowered me as an assistant baseball coach at then-Salisbury State University," said Robb Disbennett, Assistant Head Coach of the football team. "I loved every minute of coaching with him, learning the game of baseball on an entirely different level and perspective. [He] loved coaching and cared deeply for his players. He treated everyone with dignity and respect.”

Deshon, a 1998 inductee into the Salisbury Athletics Hall of Fame, led the SU baseball program for 34 years, compiling a 553-446-12 record with five NCAA Tournament appearances and four NAIA bids. In 1995, Deshon was named Capital Athletic Conference Coach of the year. He also earned two NAIA District Baseball Coach of the Year awards and was named the 1977 NCAA Division III Baseball Coach of the Year. He retired as the 13th-winningest baseball coach in NCAA Division III history.

Deshon was widely recognized for his leadership of both the baseball and basketball programs. He served as the head coach of the basketball program for eight years and spent several years as the Director of Athletics while teaching classes during his tenure. He was named the 1967 Maryland Intercollegiate Basketball Coach of the Year.

Your gift will help fund a recognition display for Coach Deshon and also support Sea Gull baseball.

What is an international studies major? The international studies major is designed for students who seek a broad course of study focusing on the modern world that is different from traditional academic settings. Our program encourages students to view the world from different perspectives and consider social, political, economic, historical and cultural processes, power relations and linkages that connect individuals, communities, states, and regions.

We educate students in understanding the world outside the United States so that they can better serve as informed citizens in a democratic society and also as professionals in careers spanning national boundaries. To expand their horizons, we encourage a foreign academic experience for our students, and all students in this major must demonstrate proficiency in a non-English language.

Students work with a major advisor to choose courses on a specific region of the world or an international topic as a program of study.
