​The SRU SVA Service Dog Project.

Thanks to the overwhelming support from the Slippery Rock University community and the efforts of the SRU chapter of the Student Veterans of America (SVA), we have been able to award two service dogs, Justice and Gordon, to SRU Student Veterans in the last two years. This year we will meet Carl, a labradoodle who will be awarded to a third SRU Student Veteran.  To learn more about the Service Dog Project visit their crowdfunding project found here.
