FOILING THE FLU: (From left) Segan Smith, a Slippery Rock University communication major from Altoona, was the first student to receive a free H1N1 vaccine Thursday morning in the University Union Multi-Purpose Room. Grace Hajave, a registered nurse from health service, administered the vaccine. Smith, who said she hates shots, also received a seasonal flu vaccine. “My mom has been bugging me to get them. I decided I would make her happy,” Smith said. The flu shot clinic for students continues from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. today.

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - The Slippery Rock University Honors Program has plenty to brag about.

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - Myra Balok, assistant professor of English at Slippery Rock University and adviser to the University's American Sign Language Club, is spreading her long-lived interest in sign language across campus through the club and club-sponsored projects.

Although Balok is still learning the language herself, she enjoys using skills she has accumulated in years of study to educate the campus community about ASL. She helped found SRU's ASL Club in 2003 after a deaf student sent an e-mail seeking others interested in forming an educational student organization. Read More

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - Emily Fritz, a fifth grader at Slippery Rock Elementary School, picked up the Galieoscope telescope she built Monday with help from Slippery Rock University students and put it to her eye. "Oh, it's so cool. I like science, and I know astronomy has a lot to do with science," she said.

Thirteen elementary school students from Slippery Rock built their own telescopes Monday as part of a Galileoscope Workshop offered by SRU space science, education and humanities students. The program showed the fun side of physics, urged children to reach for the stars and paid tribute to Galileo, the Italian astronomer who concluded in 1609 that the earth is not the center of the universe.
