"Unlike the faculty at a lot of colleges and universities these days, the faculty at SRU was always incredibly accessible and helpful, always willing to discuss intellectual and social issues, and giving of their time on a personal level, as well. I've found that the opportunities I had to work one-on-one with professors like Rich Martin, Carol Prorok, and Bernie Freydberg served as a solid foundation for the student-faculty interaction I experienced at Yale Law School. My professors at SRU never allowed me to become complacent, and always challenged me to discover something new. For those who have the initiative to forge independent relationships with faculty at SRU, the rewards are terrifc."

"After my graduation from Slippery Rock University, I had no problem gaining employment. Other health professionals seemed to be very impressed with the educational background I received as a community health major. Beacause I am working as a health data analyst, I found my data management, biostatistics, and epidemiology courses to be most helpful. My employers were also impressed that while at SRU, I participated in an undergraduate research project. This provided me with the opportunity to further explore and practice data analysis."
Amy Zychowski,'99

"The mathematics department (faculty) was instrumental in providing a learning atmosphere conductive to my development as a student and an individual. They accomplished this by being professionals and friends, as well as professors. In addition to learning the technical concepts as a mathematics major at SRU, the most valuable tool that I've developed is being able to make decisions analytically with confidence, in my profession and in life."
Andrew Wozniak, '98

"The encouragement and support I received from the faculty and students in the Art Department at Slippery Rock University enabled me to gain the confidence to make it as a professional artist.

"My dance experience and education at Slippery Rock Unversity was a well rounded and exciting one. My education enabled me to become an artist-in residence in the public schools and develop my own dance company and dance studio in my hometown. I was able to have not only a great dance education but also a great opportunity to perform, travel and learn how to become an individual that can stand out from the rest. I am proud to represent SRU as an accomplished alumnus and recommend their dance program to all of my students. The faculty was and is always encouraging and supportive of me. I look forward to visiting and seeing the program grow each year."
Anna Pishner '94, Owner and Operator of Anna's Expressions of Dance

"The contract for my first job was signed and approved a month before I graduated because Slippery Rock University prepared me to teach, to learn, and to live as a competent, productive citizen. Five years later, I am happily and successfully teaching music and directing high school bands in the same school district."
Tonia Asel '95

"I looked at four schools, and Slippery Rock had the best price, and the classroom size was small. That was really important to me; I wanted to go to a school where I was more than just a number on a roster. And it had a strong reputation. Whenever someone asks me where I go to college, and I tell them Slippery Rock, they say, "Oh, you're going to become a teacher."
Katie "O'Neill
