This online exhibit features audio and video interviews of past and present SRU faculty, staff, presidents and alumni.

The videos in this exhibit are only short clips of the full interviews. Access to the full video files, where applicable, is available from the Archives. Please contact the archives to schedule an appointment to view the materials or find out more information about the collection. All of the full audio files and transcripts are available online through Islandora.

This project is sponsored by the offices of the President and the Provost, Bailey Library, and the English Department.

The Rock Voices advisory board included Cynthia Dillon, Mark O’Connor, Judy Silva, Philip Tramdack and Robert Watson.
