Thoughtful. Motivated. Appreciative.
“Attending Millersville is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of opportunity. Try new things. Put as much on your plate as you can handle. Go back for seconds, or even thirds. There's no downside to trying something and finding it doesn't work for you. You'll never have an opportunity like this again in your life, so go boldly explore all Millersville has to offer. Your future self will thank you. ”

How did Millersville University help you get to where you are today?
My closest friends were also the ones who inspired me and pushed me to try things I wouldn't have done on my own, such as serving as President of the University Activities Board, on the Executive Committee for Student Senate, and so many other things. Millersville provided all the opportunities I could ask for, and my friends, professors, advisors and faculty were all there to provide encouragement and support throughout my time on campus.
