Philip S. Salisbury has been president of Economic & Population Trends since July 2002. The focus of his professional career has been conducting research and evaluation projects through the use of experimental as well as longitudinal data to respond to federal and state policy questions. He left college at the end of his junior year as he was eager to experience the real world and gain knowledge of another culture. His time in Liberia and West Africa allowed him to gain insights and experience of a developing part of the world. The depth of relationships with the people of the school and village where he taught and lived made an indelible imprint that has lasted a lifetime.
