What is your favorite spot-on campus?
Quiet room in the library, all glass windows facing the cross walk. Early in the morning before people are on campus and out and about. You can see the sun rise.
What is your favorite Millersville University tradition and/or event?
Homecoming has been fun to and connect with field hockey teammates and Millersville staff and faculty. I never attended homecoming as an undergrad because we always had away field hockey games those weekends, but I've enjoyed participating in homecoming as an alum. Everyone is always smiling big on homecoming and the energy is fantastic.
Why are you interested in staying connected and involved with MU as a recent graduate?
I love Millersville and enjoy staying connected with other people who feel the same. I like making a positive impact on the community and students.
