The Clothesline Project started in 1990 to address violence against women. It allows women affected by violence to decorate a shirt expressing their emotions, which are then displayed on a clothesline for others to view as a testimony to violence against women. The SRU Women's Center houses over 150 shirts created by victims and survivors of interpersonal violence both on campus and in the community that are available to loan to student and community organizations.

Mission Statement
The central mission of the Department of Communication
at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania is to foster our
students’ abilities to be socially competent citizens and to find
meaningful employment through high-quality educational
experiences.
Because communication underlies all human pursuits, we
seek to prepare students with the ethical standards necessary
to preserve the ideals of democratic free expression. We also
seek to develop their abilities to produce, distribute, analyze
and critically consume communication. In keeping with this
mission, we will continue to offer courses that serve the
needs and goals of all students from across the university.
Maintaining the tradition of study of communication as a
liberal art, and recognizing the often-blurred boundaries
among communication specialties, we continue to offer an
integrated Bachelor of Arts degree.
In addition, to meet increased demands in communication
professions for specialized graduates, we offer a Bachelor
of Science degree designed to provide the greatest focused
preparation for students. Our key areas in the Bachelor of
Science include: Public Relations, Journalism and Emerging
Technology & Multimedia.
