PRESIDENT'S REPORT
2021–22
To our friends and family,
As I begin my fifth year at Millersville University, the driving force behind our culture continues to be our EPPIIC values. In addition to our core values of exploration, professionalism, public mission, inclusion, integrity, and compassion, we have our Strategic Plan, “Tradition and Transformation.” It serves as a framework for our daily operations. Throughout this report, we’ll take you through our strategic plan and show you the progress Millersville University has made in the past year.
In 2022, we welcomed new cabinet members and deans to Millersville University, and you can learn about them in the report. We also lost three of our beloved employees: Renardo Hall, Interim Chief Diversity Officer and Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs; Guilbert Brown, Vice President for Finance and Administration, who died just a month after his retirement and Nick Celia who worked in the Maintenance department.
As we look toward the future, Millersville University will work within the local and regional community to ensure we’re meeting the demands and needs of the workforce. We have already created an accel erated Secondary Teaching Certification and a new workforce development certificate program in Telehealth.
As we all know, the cost of higher education has been escalating, and the pandemic added an extra layer of challenge for our students. Affordability is one of our priorities, and we made progress toward lowering the total cost of attendance last year. With the help of the PASSHE Board of Governors, we froze tuition for an unprecedented fourth consecutive year. With no increase in tuition, a reduced cost for the residence halls and a reduction in certain fees, we decreased the total cost of attendance.
Another method we used to decrease the financial burden on our students was providing scholarships. Examples of the major scholarship gifts announced last year were:
• $4 million from Nancy Adams ’73
• $2.5 million commitment from Steve ’89 and Lynn ’91 Pomponi,
• $900,000 estate gift from retired music faculty member Jean Romig.
It is an honor for me to share the President’s Annual Report for 2021-22.
Warm regards, Dr. Daniel A. Wubah President, Millersville University

STUDENTS
PRIME: Training Behavioral Healthcare Professionals
Thanks to a $1.9 million grant, central Pennsylvania will soon have more well-trained behavioral healthcare professionals. The grant to Millersville University is from the Health Resources and Services Administration.
The project will help to teach graduate students about the unique needs and challenges found in today’s behavioral health fields. It will also give students the chance to gain valuable work experience with one of our community partners. Students will receive a $10,000 stipend upon completion of their specialized training and internship.
The “Promoting Rigorous and Interdisciplinary Mental Healthcare Education” project, otherwise known as PRIME, will provide clinical training opportunities for graduate students in the Master of Social Work and Clinical Psychology programs.
The goals are to increase the number of underrepresented students recruited into two graduate programs and expand the number of community partners
and internship sites that the University is involved with by 28%. In addition, University staff and community partners will receive training to integrate technology, such as telehealth services, into the curriculum and practice. And, finally, the project will implement a hands-on approach in its curriculum. This includes offering interprofessional and applied learning experiences to graduate students.
The training will focus on telehealth, cultural competency and youth violence. Those same focuses will also be embedded into the curriculum of a new set of elective courses. These classes will involve experiential learning exercises for both programs.

Supporting STEM Student Success
In January, the University received a $1.5 million grant thanks to the work of several faculty members in the College of Science and Technology, the College of Education and Human Services and Academic Advising. The Supporting Student Success award was given by the National Science Foundation to recruit and retain academically talented students interested in STEM disciplines and in need of financial aid. The project then aims to graduate these “S-STEM scholars” within four years of their entry and place them in employment within a year after their graduation.
Visit from the Governor
Calvin Montgomery is shown helping a student with the micro scope. Montgomery is the Scanning Electron Microscopy and Bi ology Technician. He worked with Hitachi electron microscopes prior to coming to the ‘Ville.
Governor Tom Wolf visited Millersville University in April to speak about a $200 million proposal to offer scholarships in the name of Nellie Bly. The scholarship program would make college education more attainable for thousands of students each year.
Through his $200 million Nellie Bly proposal, Gov. Wolf hopes to provide scholarships to students who attend either a community college or Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education institution.
The Nellie Bly Scholarship Program – proposed to be funded by both the federal American Rescue Plan Act and the Racehorse Development Trust Fund – would support student tuition and relevant costs of attendance, with a focus on those pursuing programs with high-workforce needs following the pandemic, such as healthcare, education and public service. Students who take advantage of the program must stay in Pennsylvania to live and work for the same amount of time that they received the scholarship benefit.
Gov. Wolf was joined by some of Pennsylvania’s leaders in higher education, including Millersville University president Dr. Daniel A. Wubah and Millersville alum State Rep. Jordan Harris.
The past few years have financially challenged our students and their families. Millersville has responded by decreasing the total cost of attendance over the past three years. The Nellie Bly proposal is another way to provide students an exceptional and affordable education.
President Wubah greets Governor Wolf during the news conference on the Nellie Bly Scholarship Program. Students benefiting from the scholarship must reside in Pennsylvania for the same number of years for which they received funding following graduation.

GOAL 3
IMPLEMENT INSTITUTIONAL STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE STUDENT SUCCESS
myVille 2.0
A completed redesign of the campus network includes launching the new myVille 2.0 portal. The portal went live in January 2022 as a site where students and employees can get their information all in one place. myVille is now a continuous improvement model, and IT will coordinate with campus offices to ensure that new content is added and updated.
Early College Readiness
Student Access and Support Services (SASS) at Millersville developed programming to help students who are from a low-income background, first-generation and/or historically disenfranchised groups while they are in middle school. The EPPIIC Academy, a program developed by SASS through funding provided by the Positive Energy Fund and the Mentorship Support Fund, aims to provide participating eighth-graders with opportunities to learn more about higher education. In April, 18 students visited the University as EPPIIC Academy Ambassadors. They took a campus tour, made printed T-shirts with the help of the Marauder Graphics Club and attended a “college knowledge” information session.
Integrated Studies
Deltilyn Bonal is a student working toward her bachelor’s in social work, an avid photographer and a 2020 graduate of the University’s Integrated Studies program. Bonal told her story to the Council of Trustees last year, explaining that she desires to be an advocate for people with disabilities. Integrated Studies provides a fully inclusive college experience for students with an intellectual disability with a program that includes access to housing, internships, career exploration and more.

MU’s Migrant Education Program
Millersville University, which provides the instructional and support services for the Migrant Education Program for children in Lancaster, Berks, Lebanon, Lehigh and Northampton counties, received a five-year, $4 million annual grant. The grant is from the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Millersville serves on average more than 2,500 migrant students and their parents and families in the region. The program supports the academic development of migrant students who have entered the local public schools to help them achieve the same high standards as those students who have not experienced an interruption in their education caused by their migrant lifestyle.
Millersville has hosted the Migrant Education Program for several decades, and this new funding ensures that we’re able to continue to provide high-quality academic and support services to eligible students in the fivecounty program region. In the past, the grant was given
annually. The five-year grant period provides a new level of recruitment and service delivery continuity for students, families, staff and program operations.
The Millersville University Migrant Education Program and its history are distinguished as the only grantee in higher education in Pennsylvania. The Migrant Education Program offers a variety of supplemental academic programs and supports that dovetail directly with mainstream school and district instructional priorities.
In central Pennsylvania, migrant workers are typically employed in dairy; vegetable and fruit harvesting, logging; food and meat processing; greenhouses; nurseries and other work in agriculture. Experienced Millersville University Migrant Education Program recruiters work within the community and local educational facilities to identify migrant families and enroll them to receive educational services for up to three years, or until they leave the area in search of employment in agriculture.
Refugee Students
Drs. Margaret Mbindyo and Ann Gaudino continued to help students from immigrant and refugee families with the college admissions process. The Promising Scholars project is designed to support refugee students interested in higher education through advisement and mentorship. These children often receive support during grade school, but the transition to college can be confusing and overwhelming for many. The project received funding from a Positive Energy grant, a fund provided by the University to projects that contribute positively to local and global communities.

Travel Abroad Restarted
In December 2021, a group of teacher candidates departed the U.S. to commence the first Marauders Abroad Program since the start of the pandemic. The students were participating in a capstone practicum to complete their Integrated STEM Education Methods minor in Stockholm, Sweden. The students arrived in northern Europe at the peak of the Omicron variant wave. Education professor Dr. Jason Petula coordinated the trip.
Prior to leaving for Sweden, Petula accompanied the group on trips to Lancaster, Philadelphia and even to an IKEA store for team building. Group excursions continued in Sweden, where students had the opportunity to see a New Year’s fireworks display and visit different museum exhibitions dedicated to Vikings and ABBA. Petula’s primary focus was to observe and report on the students' work in classrooms. Petula points out that programs like this one offer students entirely new experiences.
Another benefit of exposing students to teaching abroad is the job opportunities open for them in other countries.
Undergraduate Research
Made in Millersville 2022 was a hybrid conference-style event that allowed 270 students to participate in 193 presentations on the methods and outcomes of their original research and creative projects.
And nine students participated in the April 2022 National Conference on Undergraduate Research. This was the first-ever participation by Millersville students in this premier national event organized by the Council for Undergraduate Research.

ENHANCE SENSE OF COMMUNITY
Campus Recreation
Campus Recreation at Millersville University includes intramurals, club sports, the ropes course, the SMC Rec Center and special events. The mission is to provide an opportunity for members of the Millersville community to participate in physical activities that help develop the overall wellness of the participant.
Luke Mateyak, a senior sport administration major, uses the many services that Campus Recreation offers. Mateyak uses Campus Recreation for intramural and club sports, as he is the treasurer of the club basketball team and officiates for all the sports teams. He also plays for multiple teams and holds a job as recreation manager. Mateyak says he gets the most use out of the basketball courts.
Campus Recreation provides Mateyak and all students with a supportive community and a place to have fun with other students when school becomes stressful.
Ubuntu Day Aims to Rekindle Community Connection
The Learning Institute celebrated the first Ubuntu Day at Millersville University in April. The theme of Ubuntu day for 2022 was Celebrating Our Oneness. Ubuntu Day brought the community together with bonding activities and created the opportunity to win amazing prizes!
To bring the community together and rekindle the connection that exists between us, the Learning Institute recognized the need for activities to reconnect the community. The meaning of Ubuntu is “I am only because we are, and since we are, therefore I am.”
The event was celebrated in collaboration with other organizations on campus. During the Ubuntu Day celebration, 11 organizations across campus partnered with the Learning Institute to bring various activities that promote kindness and togetherness to the campus community. Ubuntu Day welcomed between 150 and 200 attendees on the day of the event.
Ubuntu Day at MU attracted students, faculty and staff to learn about the program, which educates undergraduate students on relevant global social issues and provides skills and tools to promote positive social change.

Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society
The Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society, ODK, is one of the top four honor societies in the country and has chapters, known as circles, at over 300 college campuses across the country.
The Millersville University ODK circle has been a point of pride for Millersville since its charter in December of 2019. This past academic year brought both successes and challenges for the circle.
The unfortunate loss of a founding leader, Associate Vice President Renardo Hall, was difficult for the circle community. Hall and the former faculty advisor, the late Dr. Lisa Shibley, were both passionate about bringing ODK to MU. Their efforts and legacies have created a firm foundation and strong University presence for the future of ODK.
During the past year, the Circle has replenished and even increased its membership growth by inducting 44
Veterans' Resource Center
The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) on campus provides information to veterans and eligible dependents about their benefits, assists them when applying for benefits and offers a location to relax between classes and engage with other veteran students. It features a small lounge, computer lab, full kitchen, bathroom with a shower, food, drinks, TV and outdoor games.
John-Michael Fallatik is a veteran student at Millersville who uses the center for various things. He says it’s an excellent place to go to get his questions answered regarding his VA educational benefits. Many veterans like Fallatik use the center as a quiet place between classes to complete schoolwork and enjoy the complimentary food and drinks. Fallatik also says the VRC is a place to socialize with other student veterans.
The center has also aided Fallatik mentally. Many veterans feel alienated after their time in the service, including Fallatik. The center allowed him to join a community of others who can relate to the psychological difficulties of life after the service.
The VRC is there to support veterans and their families throughout their college careers. The center will guide

Millersville University was given $18,692,442 to support students in need during the pandemic. The Office of Financial Aid distributed funds to students who were impacted by the disruption of campus operations. These funds were available to assist students with educational costs such as food, housing, course materials, technology expenses, healthcare and childcare. The University distributed three rounds of CARES relief funding.
Campus Life Office Grows
The Campus Life Office now includes Commuter Services and the Veterans’ Resource Center. This past year, the office hosted Veterans’ Appreciation Week, a Veterans’ Day luncheon, pet therapy with “Paws and Relax,” and “Horses and Heroes” events for veterans and their family members and more. The office also hosted an inaugural Commuter & OffCampus Student Appreciation Week, commuter coffees and other events to cultivate a sense of community and inclusion for these student populations.
Campus Recreation Expands
New student organizations, created by students and Campus Recreation, include club basketball, club softball and women’s club volleyball. Club ice hockey, with over 50 student participants, expanded to include a new Division III ice hockey team.
An updated version of the ‘Ville Rec App is available as well. Students can use the app to register for intramural and club sports, discover group fitness classes and learn more about wellness and recreation at the University.

Welcome to New Cabinet Members
Millersville University welcomed three new cabinet members and two new deans this past year. Carlos Wiley, Dr. Mary Beth Williams and Debbie Newsom joined the President’s Cabinet, and Drs. Lara Willox and Marc Harris joined as Deans of the College of Education & Human Services and the College of Science and Technology, respectively.
Remote Work and Flexible Scheduling Implemented
Carlos Wiley joined the University as Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, on July 1. His previous experience includes serving as director of the Paul Robeson Cultural Center at The Pennsylvania State University.
Dr. Mary Beth Williams took the reins as Vice President of Student Affairs on July 11. Williams was previously the Vice President for Student Development & Dean of Students at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
DEI Faculty Fellow–Dr. Karen Rice
We also welcomed Debbie Newsom as our interim Vice President for Finance and Administration. She joins us from Clemson University in South Carolina.
Human Resources, with the support of the President’s cabinet, responded to the changing needs of the workforce by developing and implementing a remote work and flexible scheduling policy. As of June 30, 2021, the remote work policy was created as a voluntary option for eligible University employees. This policy allows the university to be more competitive in the current marketplace, gives many employees the opportunity to have a better work/life balance, and ideally, in the future, could lead to a reduced need for physical space on campus. In addition, the remote work and flexible scheduling policy will help attract geographically diverse candidates who might otherwise not consider MU as an employer due to daily travel concerns.
Dr. Karen Rice was named faculty fellow for the DEI Collaborations Team this past year under the Office of Diversity and Social Justice. Along with other members of the team, she oversaw several initiatives and successes, including a successful webinar on free speech and unwanted visitors, the launch of the DEI Faculty Fellows initiative that supports faculty members decolonizing their courses and more. The DEI Collaborations Team is committed to initiating and supporting diversity, equity and inclusion on Millersville’s campus.

New 3D Studio
The 3D studio and digital fabrication lab were renovated in Breidenstine Hall. The 3D studio is a space specifically for the foundations of the 3D design course. Students enrolled in art and design classes are encouraged to use the space if they wish to incorporate digital technology in their studies and portfolios. Working with 3D design and digital fabrication gives students a competitive advantage as they learn how to effectively work in three dimensions while designing their own intellectual property. They can also practice designing and prototyping potential consumer-grade products.
The 3D studio located in Room 307 of Breidenstine Hall was renovated to serve as a digital fabrication lab. This studio provides students access to five 3D printers, a vinyl cutter and three Helix laser cutters. This project provided new power distribution to this equipment and upgraded the mechanical and ventilation systems to provide a safe working environment for this room. More importantly, it enhances students’ experiential learning experiences.

Homecoming Returns with Block Party and Parade
After going virtual for 2020, spectators once again lined the two-mile stretch of George Street to celebrate “Hometown Heroes” at the 2021 Millersville Community Parade. The parade, a joint venture of Millersville University and the community, was held on Saturday, October 16. It was a chance to thank our “Hometown Heroes” who helped us through the COVID-19 pandemic and kept the University running and our entire community safe.
The parade was just one of the many events taking place during Homecoming. The week kicked off after fall break on Wednesday, October 13, with ’Ville Spirit Week, featuring activities such as Plenty O’ Cookies Decorating and a mind reader.
Homecoming 2021 also featured several class reunions, a golf outing, various alumni sporting events for former athletes and a huge block party with affinity and class reunions. The block party featured balloon making for the kids and other games, while friends had a chance to catch up. There was also a Swan Drop fundraiser to raise money for pond renovation.
During Homecoming 2021, we celebrated the completion of work and dedicated the Unity Plots and Divine Nine and Cultural Greek Council Memorial Walkway. Representing traditional Black Greek-lettered organizations and several Latinx and multicultural fraternities and sororities, this installation honors the history, heritage, scholarship and community service of these organizations.

Excentia–Workforce Partnership
To address the unique challenges facing the human services workforce in Lancaster County, Millersville University and Excentia Human Services are partnering on training and professional development for human services professionals. On July 13, officials from Millersville and Excentia signed a memorandum of understanding on the partnership.
The partnership will include developing Excentia Human Services’ Center for Training and Professional Development and creating two customized training programs. These programs will help our University meet regional workforce needs while providing new pathways for learners.
Lehigh Carbon Community College Agreement
Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) and Millersville University have signed an agreement that provides a unique opportunity for students with an intellectual disability to achieve academic credentials. The agreement is the first of its kind in the country and provides a smooth path for LCCC students in its Cross-Institutional Studies certificate to transfer to Millersville's Integrated Studies.
The agreement, which will increase opportunities for students who have been marginalized, will welcome graduates from LCCC to Millersville's community of learners. It’s a great example of how Millersville responds to the needs of people in our communities while building on the long-standing relationship with LCCC.
Millersville University’s Integrated Studies program is a two- or four-year inclusive college initiative for young adults with an intellectual disability. This unique program is the next-step college experience for students who complete LCCC’s revolutionary certificate program.
LCCC and Millersville have worked together to provide opportunities for students with an intellectual disability to be fully immersed in higher education.
Students must meet eligibility criteria, including having a documented intellectual or developmental disability diagnosis, at least 18 years of age, be able to live in student housing with limited support and have the desire to gain skills for independent living and employment.
During a virtual signing ceremony President Wubah signed the agreement at Millersville University, while LCCC President Dr. Ann D. Bieber signed the document at her college. The agreement between LCCC and Millersville will provide opportunities for students with intellectual disability to be fully immersed in higher education.

Digital Literacy
Millersville received a grant for $45,000 from the Pennsylva nia Department of Labor and Industry. The purpose of the grant is to provide computer and digital literacy training to unemployed and underemployed participants in the service areas of the Quarryville Library and the Adamstown Area Library. The Deputy Secretary of Workforce Development, Sheila Ireland, visited the Quarryville Library in May to high light the program, which enhances digital-literacy skills, thus providing greater access to employment opportunities in the 21st-century job market.
The training includes a combination of in-person instruc tion and online course content, aiming to increase comfort with and experience in online learning to create significant opportunities for lifelong learning and skill-building. Partic ipants will receive a certificate of completion for each of the three courses successfully completed, as well as a noncredit Digital Literacy Skills Certificate from Millersville University.
GOAL 3
Active-Shooter Training
Millersville University hosted an integrated response, county wide active-shooter exercise on campus in October 2021. Millersville University Police and 10 other police agencies gained valuable experiential training through a high-stress event.
ENSURE THE UNIVERSITY REMAINS A NATIONAL LEADER IN SUSTAINABILITY
Ubuntu and Sustainability
Rashin Osman is a Master of Social Work and Master of Science in emergency management major at Millersville University. During the 2021/2022 academic year, he served as the lead for the Ubuntu Leaders Fellows Program. The program focuses on developing projects that set goals for sustainable development. This year, three undergraduate students became Ubuntu fellows and worked with Osman to develop projects that address one or more of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This year’s projects centered around solutions to poverty, hunger, quality education and climate change.
In addition, the Fellows Program was approved to present at the Global Awareness Society International Conference in Salamanca, Spain, which took place from May 26-28. “Together, we showcased Ubuntu Leaders Fellows to the world and put Millersville University on the global map once more for its continuous efforts to address global issues,” says Osman. The fellows–Carolina Hidalgo Ahmed, Niema Abdullah and Katherine McLaughlin–had the opportunity to present a collaborative project at this year’s Made in Millersville conference.
McLaughlin is a junior studying communication. She created the climate action project, which raises awareness about the impact of climate change and what we can do to create a sustainable environment.
Positive Energy Fund
During the 2021-2022 academic year, seven faculty, staff and students developed and implemented commu nity-based, research-informed projects that respond to one or more of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The grant recipients were awarded funds totaling over $17,000 that came from the Positive Energy Fund.
The Positive Energy Fund is made possible due to the energy savings from the Lombardo Welcome Center that result in receipt of energy rebates. These rebates allow MU faculty, staff and students to further support our community through the intentional, sustainable projects that are imple mented throughout the county.
Some project examples from this past year’s recipients included a free sum mer youth program fostering global citizenship, and a plastic recycling project that teaches students how to break down plastic, repurpose it and set up an entrepreneurial business.
