The Russell Wright Alumni House was dedicated in the fall of 1998 as a place Slippery Rock University alumni can call their “home” on campus.

Since that time, use of the house has grown tremendously. More alumni, faculty, staff and students use the facility than ever before for a variety of meetings, events and reunions. Because of all this use, the alumni office finds itself at a crossroads-either turn people away or expand the house to accommodate more people. The Alumni Association Board of Directors feel we should invest in the latter. But we need your help.

The Russell Wright Alumni and Conference Center will be a welcoming friendly place for alumni and friends to relax and visit when returning to campus. The Center will also be a showcase for the university, and a place where alumni can take their sons and daughters to introduce them to the university's history, traditions and achievements.

Throughout the year, space for alumni and campus activities is at a premium. The Alumni Meeting Center will include much needed banquet facilities, comfortable social areas and meeting rooms for alumni, university and community functions.

The Alumni Conference Center will provide alumni, the University and the business community with a much-needed modern conference facility, offering the latest in presentation technologies. This state-of-the-art center will include wireless Internet connections, interactive SMART Board systems, remote conferencing and a full-range of audiovisual capabilities.
