The Stone House Center for Public Humanities (CPH) is a project of Slippery Rock University. The CPH connects the university’s humanities faculty and students to the broader community by offering collaborative educational programming, public forums, non-degree courses, workshops, and service-learning opportunities, all focused on bringing the insights of the humanities to bear on contemporary public life. The CPH is supported by Slippery Rock University, grants, and donors.

Our Values
|
Accessibility: The humanities are not luxuries, but essential components of a thoughtful and ethical life. Thus they should be made broadly accessible to people from all walks of life, without regard to age, race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or socioeconomic status. The CPH focuses on connecting with populations for whom engagement with the humanities is limited by social or economic barriers.
|
Collaboration: The CPH welcomes partnerships with community institutions that transcend both academic disciplines and the boundary between campus and the larger community.
|
Citizenship: The humanities provide unique insights into the relationship between individuals and society, and can play an important role in building local community and enabling individuals to be active and contributing citizens
|
High-Impact Learning: The CPH provides Slippery Rock University students with opportunities for service-learning, collaborative research, and community engagement. These learning experiences are proven to lead to academic and professional success.
