For those of you who were worried that the New Seton Hill will leave behind its excellent reputation as an arts school...
PA Governor Rendell Presents $5 Million For New Seton Hill University Center
PA Governor Edward G. Rendell
presented a $5 million check to Seton Hill University President JoAnne Boyle
for the creation of the Seton Hill University Center during a visit to
Greensburg today. The funding was provided through the Redevelopment
Assistance Capital Program (RACP), which helps rejuvenate Pennsylvania's
downtown areas.
Into the city, perhaps... but, one hopes, not into nightclubs.

I was at the train station when they announced this. You should have seen it: the Gov pulled in on a gigantic campaign bus, jumped off, gave a speech, almost gave the check to the Griffin rather than the president, shook a lot of hands, and then zoomed off to Uniontown to give another speech. Apparently this is part of the state's desire to revitalize small cities in the region as much as give to the arts at SHU.
Pretty exciting stuff. I think it'll be great to not only expose the city to what we do at SHU, but to get more students off the hill and into the city.
That is some of the best news I've heard all year!This art geek is elated! We can create a new dynamism in the city of Greensburg
I agree; that is a step in the right direction.
Alright! Now that's what I'm talking about!
