F-i-i-i-i-i-nally, commencement returned to The Rock! There may have been snow flurries, temperatures hovering around the freezing mark and gray skies, but the mood inside Slippery Rock University's Morrow Field House was warm and bright as friends, families and graduating seniors came together for SRU's Winter Commencement ceremony Dec. 16. The day marked a significant occasion in the lives of not only the graduates but the entire University community as 425 undergraduate degrees, 125 master's degrees and five doctoral degrees were awarded. The evening prior, Dec. 15, saw Jacob Fiscus, a senior criminology and criminal justice major from Sharon and U.S. Army ROTC cadet, commissioned as a U.S. Army second lieutenant.
