Slippery Rock University Foundation, Inc.

Early settlers of the Slippery Rock area believed that family, church and school were important in the lives of their children.  By 1887 area citizens wanted to establish an academy for their children, an advanced school beyond the elementary grades. On May 3, 1888,  it was announced that $17,325 was raised by various activities for the normal school and the community went about the task of building. Citizens donated their time and resources for this important project. In a remarkably short period of time, the citizens of Slippery Rock had created for the young people of the region the Slippery Rock State Normal School.

Today, this culture of giving continues to enhance Slippery Rock University by changing the landscape of the campus, strengthening its ability to attract and retain deserving and talented students and building the foundation for an even brighter future.
