So many times, we hear the negative news of what is happening on our campus.
My name is Noah True-Daniels and I am a Slippery Rock University alumnus; I graduated in 2007 with a degree in political science.
As an active member/executive board member of various student organizations on campus, I am disappointed with the lack of an appropriate display of role models to Slippery Rock University's student body.
As the local community owner and operator of Campus Side Apartments, I am writing to express my disappointment in both the content and lack of objectivity contained in the lead article in the Nov. 11 issue of The Rocket concerning off-campus housing.
I am writing to you about how we oversee the little things in life.
With the many concerns expressed about the Happy Bus in recent weeks, I would like to take the opportunity to clear up some of the misunderstandings and hopefully answer a lot of the questions that have been asked.
In September 2011, an SRU student was allegedly gang-raped by two SRU students in a house behind Ginger Hill.
I am absolutely thrilled to say that our second child is now enrolled as a freshman at SRU. Our oldest child graduated in 2009 with an amazing education and a college experience second to none. My husband and I are proud to be Slippery Rock parents and constantly tout the university to our friends and family members when they are beginning to consider college choices for their own children.
On behalf of the National Pan-Hellenic Council: We would like to apologize for the negative actions that were portrayed by various visiting fraternities on October 15, 2011, at the Black Action Society Homecoming Party. NPHC plans to take all necessary precautions to rebuild the Slippery Rock community and to ensure these events do not transpire in the future.
My name is Carolyn Colosimo and I have worked at SRU for 26 years.
I love to read The Rocket as it keeps me in touch with the social side of our students as I work primarily with their academic side.
My name is Dan Cannon. I graduated from SRU in 2008 with BS in Geography, tract: Environmental Studies. While on campus during my last two years, I dedicated my free time to making Slippery Rock University a better place.
Dear Editor,
Student leaders should give more thought before giving away the naming rights to the new union. It is understandable that some want to honor the president, but the name is a valuable asset. They need to give consideration to the future generations who will bear the financial burden of paying off the thirty-five million dollar construction bond. They also should understand that the new union was originally not a student initiative but rather an idea that came from the former vice president of student affairs. The plan was to build a new facility that would include a performing arts center and when that idea was shot down, they went on to push for this building.
