The fourth annual Ethics Bowl was recently held at SRU. Check out footage from the event, including an interview with Dr. Winters. The event is sponsored each year by The Office of the Provost, The Office of Associate Provost, The College of Liberal Arts, The Department of Philosophy, The CPH, Center for Applied & Professional Ethics, and the SRU Philosophy Club. It's finals week at SRU! Be sure to stop by the CPH on Wednesday, May 9 to meet Loki and grab some goodies.  We are excited to announce the 4th annual SRU Ethics Bowl! Community members from all walks of life are invited to participate as judges. 
Save the date! The Macoskey Center will be hosting a Community Café on Wednesday, December 6 from 6-8PM. Join the creative conversation to help determine the future direction of sustainability in Slippery Rock. RSVPs are encouraged.   Slippery Rock University's historic Old Stone House will host a "Spooky Stories" event from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on October. 28.
The event will offer interactive story telling by Mary Morgan Smith, an acclaimed storyteller and producer of Pittsburgh's annual Three Rivers Storytelling Festival. In addition, there will be a performance by the Miracle Elixir Side Show, a Victorian-themed entertainment troupe that performs magic and interactive amusements. SRU theater students will perform a dramatic reading of works by Edgar Allan Poe, and the Jennings Environmental Center will provide an exhibit about bats, exploring the myths and facts about the creatures. "Storytelling is probably the original form of entertainment, something our early ancestors invented to pass the time," said Aaron Cowan, associate professor of history and curator of the Old Stone House. "This event continues that tradition, and provides lots of fun and engaging activities for the whole family." The event will also feature free face painting, an apple cider press demonstration, candle dipping and sugar cookie decorating. Admission is $8 per person, children 4 and under are free. The Old Stone House, which is owned and operated by SRU, is located at the intersection of routes 8, 258 and 173, just south of Slippery Rock. For more information, call 724.738.4964.  Thanks to everyone who participated in our Socrates Café last night, where students and community members explored the big question: What is happiness?
 What's happiness? Attend the Socrates Cafe at North Country Brewing Company tonight at 7PM to find out. All are welcome to participate. 😀
Learn more here. SRU's third annual Live Like A Stoic Week is underway!  Stoic philosophy, developed by the ancient Greeks, ponders questions about life and how people should treat others, while ridding oneself of emotions in order to prevent suffering. This year's theme is "Stoicism at Work." As part of the event students, faculty, staff and members of the community read and work through Stoic texts in thinking about how to better overcome the personal and professional obstacles that may arise in the work and educational environments.  Participants have been meeting at 6AM every morning in the Slippery Rock Ski Lodge. Despite the early bird time, attendance is the highest it's ever been!   If you want to participate, there's still time! Contact Andrew Winters at andrew.winters@sru.edu.
Ever wonder what is happiness? The SRU Philosophy Club and CPH invite you to the Socrates Cafe at North Country Brewing Company next Monday, October 23 at 7PM. Students and the public will discuss the nature of happiness and what it takes to live a good life. ALL are welcome to participate. 😀 |
