Slippery Rock University Foundation, Inc.

Mission Statement: Slippery Rock University will excel as a caring community of lifelong learners connecting with the world.

In 2015-16, 4,800 donors made gifts to benefit Slippery Rock University. The reasons for giving were as diverse as the donors: appreciative alumni looking to give back; faculty, staff, and community members who believe in the university's mission; parents honoring their students' achievements in and out of the classroom; corporations and foundations wanting to enrich students' lives.

Thanks to this generosity, private support to Slippery Rock University exceeded $2.6 million. It assisted in hiring and retaining excellent faculty who embrace teaching. It improved and maintained a beautiful residential campus with state-of-the-art facilities. And it assisted students in fulfilling their dream of earning a college degree - a Slippery Rock University degree. Private support is an important vote of confidence in SRU and allows us to continue to offer an exceptional and affordable education while achieving local and national recognition. Some recent accomplishments include:
• U.S. News and World Report named Slippery Rock University one of the 100 Top Regional Universities in the North.
• One of the best colleges and universities in the Northeast as determined by The Princeton Review.
• Designated a "College of Distinction" for its commitment to supporting engaged students, great teaching, vibrant communities and successful outcomes.
• American City Business Journals identified SRU as a Top 150 Public Institution in the U.S. and Top Four in PA.

These are but a few of the accolades that Slippery Rock University has achieved. I invite you to learn more about all that is happening by visiting our website at www.sru.edu.
