Roberta Page, ’88, physical education DAY JOB: I am the director of championships at the NCAA and have the opportunity to plan, organize and implement national championships for Division I, II and III programs nationwide. BACKGROUND: After working in high school and college-level athletics, I was blessed to have the opportunity to work at the NCAA, which I joined in 2009. My doctorate in education is from Duquesne University, and I have worked as an athletic director at Shippensburg University and Gettysburg Area and Boiling Springs high schools. The Rock remains my first love. INFLUENCE OF SRU: Ever since high school in Greensburg, Pa., I wanted to be involved in athletics and always dreamed of attending Slippery Rock University. As an undergraduate, I always felt a strong connection and comfort level with the campus community. What I appreciated most was the influence of faculty and staff on my development both inside and outside the classroom. Faculty and staff always made me feel important and went out of their way to assist me in any way. Their example stays with me: I try to act similarly on a day-to-day basis. I stay positive, respect individuals and want others to feel they are important and paramount to my work. I attribute my ethic to what I learned from my time at The Rock.
