Rosko was a JMC major as well as a member of PRSSA when she died in a car accident while studying abroad in Australia. The new bench and peace garden are located at the corner of Downer and Hartford, in front of Johnston Hall. Among those attending were Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, the Rosko family and friends, fellow PRSSA members, and several JMC faculty members.
