Special Maryland SRU License Plates: Alumni living in Maryland can show their
Rock Pride on their vehicles with a special license plate with the SLIPPERY
official logo of Slippery Rock University. The plate includes the logo
(at right) and says "Slippery Rock University" 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 Slippery Rock University 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: Slippery Rock University 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 SRU will receive discounted dress circle seating (in the front
balcony) and a special “SRU 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.
SRU 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 Rock 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.
