The plate includes the logo (at right) and says "<strong>Slippery</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>University</strong>" on the bottom, UNIVERSITY identical to the plate designed for alumni living in Pennsylvania. We need at least 25 plates pre-ordered before the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration will process the plates for us. If you are interested please contact the alumni office at 1-800-GET-ROCK or alumni@sru.edu. Meet Our Newest Board Member: Brad Kovaleski, ’01, has been appointed to the <strong>Slippery</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>University</strong> Alumni Association board of directors. Kovaleski received his bachelor’s degree in Spanish and a master’s degree in student personnel in 2003. He is employed at Franklin and Marshall College as assistant director of student activities. Invitation: <strong>Slippery</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>University</strong> Performance at the Pops with Marvin Hamlisch President Smith cordially invites alumni and friends to attend a special Pittsburgh Pops performance of the music of Irving Berlin, conducted by Marvin Hamlisch. This is a special matinee performance at 2:30 p.m., January 23, at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh. Alumni and guests of <strong>SRU</strong> will receive discounted dress circle seating (in the front balcony) and a special “<strong>SRU</strong> Only” reception in the Mozart Room of Heinz Hall immediately after the performance sponsored by Liberty Mututal Insurance. Hamlisch will attend the reception. For more information, contact the alumni office at 1-800-GET-ROCK or alumni@sru.edu. Tickets are limited; orders will be filled in the order they are requested. <strong>SRU</strong> Veterans Group Forming: The Office of Alumni Relations is looking for all alumni interested in being part of an alumni veterans association being formed. The group’s purpose is to recognize outstanding students, faculty and alumni who have served in the armed forces. The group would also like to create an alumni directory of all who served or are serving in the armed forces. Those interested in getting involved should contact Michael Saraka, director of alumni relations, at 1-800-GET-ROCK or michael.saraka@sru.edu. Correction: Brent Johnson, ’73, is the principal of Greenfield School, not Carrick High School as was reported in the last issue of The <strong>Rock</strong> Insider. Johnson was an assistant principal at Carrick for four years and has been principal at Greenfield for three. On the Cover: A copy of the football program at Homecoming 1952. MYSTERY PHOTOGRAPH: Do you recognize anyone in this photograph? If so, contact the alumni office at 1-800-GET-ROCK or alumni@sru.edu. The winner receives an <strong>SRU</strong> alumni picture frame. Answer to last issue’s mystery photograph: Roxann Herr Helleren, ’85, identified some of the alumni in the last issue’s mystery photograph.
