A PENGUIN Returns Scott R. Roloff, artist and 2000 YSU alumnus, returns the restored Penguin Parade sculpture he created for display on University Plaza, where it is has become a favorite photo backdrop for visitors to campus. The icon had been removed temporarily so that the artist could repair damage caused by 11 years of exposure to Northeast Ohio weather. Roloff’s sculpture, titled Foreshadows Past, was part of a collaborative public art project in 2004 presented by YSU and the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley.

Guzman-Dolan YSU alumna Angela Guzman was in search of a unique spot for photos when she married Eric Dolan on May 9, and they thought YSU’s Ice Castle would be ideal. The happy couple and their wedding party posed for photos on the field and in the walkways leading into Stambaugh Stadium. Guzman-Dolan, ’02 BA in Spanish, was director of operations for Apprisen at the time of the wedding, but she was awarded a BRIGHT New Leaders for Ohio Schools fellowship and resigned her position in June to pursue an MBA at Ohio State University; her husband is a business operations associate for Skyline Exhibits of Central Ohio. They live in Columbus.
