PRESIDENT'S REPORT 2020–21
Dear campus community, alumni, parents and friends, Putting together this year’s annual report provides an opportunity to reflect on what we have all gone through the past year. As I begin my fourth year as president of Millersville University, I remain optimistic about our future. This is especially true because of the campus community’s resilience, tenacity and adaptability during the past academic year. Unlike other campuses that had to grapple only with the challenges posed by the pandemic, we faced a cyberattack at the most inauspicious time that nearly crippled major functions of our University. In much the same way that our staff and faculty didn’t miss a beat when we had to pivot from face-to-face instruction at the beginning of the pandemic, they rose to the occasion. With a low campus density and modified approaches to delivering classes, our faculty and staff found ways to provide students the best experiences they could under trying conditions. All these efforts were made while having difficult conversations at the State System level about consolidating six campuses into two universities. Based on the outcomes and results of our collective efforts in this report, one can safely say that the pandemic and other challenges didn’t slow us down. Our students continued to demonstrate perseverance and grit in their academic and co-curricular work. As an institution of higher learning, we surpassed targets, bucked trends and stayed focused on our core mission of educating students. By May 2021, we reached the zenith of the past academic year when we held three days of commencements. Once again, we had to adapt to a challenge beyond our control due to an inclement weather event that cut short the final ceremony. Throughout these trying conditions, our indefatigable faculty members and staff labored on and will continue to do so. This report sheds light on some of our significant accomplishments during this unusual year. It is rooted in our core values of exploration, professionalism, public mission, inclusion, integrity and compassion and organized around the four directions of our strategic plan “Tradition and Transformation.” This past year’s highlights include receiving the largest single gift in the University’s history, launching the new strategic plan and initiating new academic programs. Despite the availability of vaccines, no one can predict how this pandemic will end. For our community to continue meeting its mission, indeed thrive during the post-pandemic period, it is in our best interest to create a long runway for a safe landing. I hope you enjoy reading the highlights of the past year.
With warm regards,
Daniel A. Wubah University President

Strategic Direction 1 ENSURE ACCESS, AFFORDABILITY AND COMPLETION NEW ACADEMIC PROGRAMS The Lombardo College of Business at Millersville University has two departments: Accounting and Finance, and Management and Marketing. It offers a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration with six available areas of concentration and one certificate in marketing. Under the College's new undergraduate majors, either newly approved or newly launched, are bachelor’s degrees in Accounting, Finance, Marketing and Management. In addition, there is a new online bachelor’s degree in Emergency Management. The Bachelor of Science in Emergency Management (BSEM) online degree-completion program provides an in-depth understanding of the essentials of emergency management. There is also the new the BEd in Special Education. Per Act 82 of 2018, the Pennsylvania Department of Education expanded the scope of the special education certificate in special education. Education Foundations and Early Education faculty at Millersville worked together to create the new program which will provide teacher education candidates coursework for the new certification program.
Shaun Lucas Hometown: York, Pennsylvania Junior – Marketing Major
“I have always been interested in event planning and writing, and figured those interests would carry over well in a marketing field. Also, I know a marketing degree would open a variety of employment opportunities in basically any industry.”
CJ Longo, '21
Hometown: Howell, New Jersey “As our global climate changes and extreme weather events become more intense and more frequent, along with the threat of man-made disasters growing, the demand for professional emergency managers grows even higher. The faculty at Millersville’s Center for Disaster Research & Education are experts in several different disciplines including meteorology, natural hazards, terrorism, Geographic Information Systems and more. By choosing Millersville’s BS in Emergency Management program, I knew I would be receiving the highest quality education to apply what I’ve learned in the classroom to my future real-world career experiences.”

THE MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY SECOND YEAR EXPERIENCE Millersville University’s EPPIIC Journey is our Second Year Experience Program designed to empower second-year students by providing opportunities to enhance academic and professional success, the sense of belonging to our campus and learning community, engagement with faculty, overall wellness, and community citizenship and leadership. During the second year of college, students begin to take on added responsibilities and make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Many second-year students struggle with major declaration, career indecision and social acclima-
tion, while pursuing efforts in study abroad, civic engagement, organizational involvement and class connection. MUSYE can serve as a roadmap throughout this process, helping students to get connected to key offices and resources to assist them on their journey to degree completion. Working together with a newly formed Sophomore Class Council, MUSYE will provide unique opportunities for second-year students to engage with Millersville throughout the year. MUSYE and the entire MU Community can assist second-year students through targeted transitional events, activities and programs.
Clockwise from top left: Admissions tours. Tour guides welcome visitors to Lombardo Welcome Center. Our Admissions team hit the streets in vans to run a socially distanced welcome to incoming students.

Wehrheim was the oldest known living alum of Millersville University when she died in 2019 at the age of 103, leaving the University $3.5 million. The gift added to the previously established Liselotte R. Wehrheim Scholarship in Nursing Endowment bringing it to $4.8 million. Wehrheim was a non-traditional student who graduated with her degree in nursing in 1974 at age 59. Her scholarship is for non-traditional students who have unusual or special circumstances affecting the completion of their education.

Current nursing students at Millersville University won’t have the opportunity to meet Liselotte R. Wehrheim, however, they will remember her name. The Millersville University Council of Trustees approved the naming of the Wehrheim School of Nursing in June of 2021. It is the first named school of nursing within PASSHE.

“Nursing is one of the few growing areas in the job market,” said Dr. Kelly Kuhns, Nursing Department Chair at Millersville. “Nurses got a lot of press during the pandemic. It is predicted that by 2025 there could be a half-million shortage of nurses. The job market for nursing is significant. Nurses don’t just work in hospitals; they work in prisons and schools, everywhere.” Nurses with the additional knowledge and training that come from a bachelor’s degree are especially in high demand. Kuhns stated that the national goal is to have 80% of bedside nurses hold a bachelor’s degree. Presently, about 59% of all nurses have a bachelor’s degree. About 40% of all nurses start their careers with an associates degree—that’s why programs like Millersville’s RN to BSN degree completion program are so important.

MIDDLE STATES ACCREDITATION The Middle States Commission on Higher Education reaffirmed Millersville University’s accreditation in March of 2021 without any required actions.

ACADEMIC RESILIENCE INITIATIVE Under the direction of Dr. Margaret Mbindyo, assistant professor in Academic Advisement and Student Development, our Academic Resilience Initiative is a retention initiative created to help students persist and graduate college. Short videos are developed that share the personal stories of our faculty and staff, and the struggles they overcame as college students. When students know that their professors and staff on campus have dealt with struggles similar to what they are going through, they are more likely to become engaged, seek help outside of class and are more willing to listen to suggestions and ideas. Using stories and narratives is a great strategy that allows students to see a different side of the faculty or staff while encouraging students to be in control and feel empowered as they build their own academic resilience. In addition, the Academic Resilience Speaker Series codirected by Dr. Mbindyo and Dr. Ann Guadino, associate professor in Educational Foundations, was created
Dr. Margaret Mbindyo
to offer a space for students to learn about academic success strategies and advice about self-care during the pandemic. The series is ongoing and benefits students and others in the MU community. These initiatives are much needed by our students who are struggling in one way or another.
MU PARENT PORTAL AND FAMILY NETWORK In November 2020, Student Affairs and Enrollment Management partnered with CampusESP to engage parents and families as partners in the success of their students.
Dr. Wubah’s message regarding plans for fall 2021 semester was sent through the portal to the families through CampusESP. It had 1910 unique opens with a total of 4210 opens.
The parent portal launched on February 3 with approximately 3,500 users receiving invitations.

INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE The Commission on Cultural Diversity & Inclusion held “Gatherings to Discuss Racism” in June and July and numerous “Health Spaces” during the 2020-21 year. The theme of each session was based on current events, with members of the commission serving as facilitators.
The Office of Diversity and Social Justice advances Millersville University’s commitment to social justice, inclusive excellence and numerical, intellectual and interactional diversity. One of the primary functions of the office is to support Millersville’s community of learners, teachers and leaders by cultivating a climate of collaboration and collective problem-solving related to diversity and social justice issues. The three President’s Commissions—President’s Commission on Cultural Diversity & Inclusion, President’s Commission on the Status of Women and the President’s Commission on Gender & Sexual Diversity, collaborated to host an event on Nov. 12, 2020. The event allowed members of the University to come together and connect with prominent members of the community to discuss social justice issues and, more importantly, how we can mobilize and put plans into action. In addition, the Commission on Gender & Sexual Diversity held their first LGBTQ Affirming Faith & Spirituality Event on March 31, their first Annual 5K for Equality—Run, Walk or Roll, in April and are facilitating the LGBTQ and Allies Living Learning Community for our residential students.
On March 8, 2021, International Women’s Day, the Commission on the Status of Women held nine sessions virtually; speakers included Dr. Francine McNairy, Mayor Sorace, and Sunflower Greene. In addition, the commission finished an environmental scan as first stage of data collection for investigation into gender parity in career advancement at MU for faculty and staff. They also completed a childcare needs report. Millersville University received the 2020 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award from “INSIGHT Into Diversity” magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education. This marks the ninth consecutive year that Millersville has been a recipient of the HEED Award.

Athletics Highlights BASEBALL Senior pitcher Jeff Taylor, the PSAC East Pitcher of the Year and the third player in program history to be named CoSIDA Academic All-America, teamed with PSAC East Athlete of the Year Bren Taylor and freshman of the Year Conor Cook to help Millersville win the PSAC East championship for the second season in a row and for the eighth time in Coach Jon Shehan’s 14 seasons. The Marauders also reached the NCAA Atlantic Regional final.

WOMEN'S TRACK & FIELD Hannah Woelfling’s 2021 season was unlike any in the history of Millersville’s women’s track and field team. In her first competitive collegiate outdoor season, and her first season throwing the hammer, Woelfling won the event at the PSAC Championships while also finishing as the runner-up in the discus. She went on to place fourth at the NCAA Division II Championships in the hammer and was later named the PSAC Rookie of the Year.

TENNIS Behind the leadership of PSAC East Coach of the Year Matt Helsel, the Millersville women’s team made an improbable run to the PSAC championship match before it was forced to withdraw from the tournament because of health and safety guidelines. The Marauders played the entire season without two of its top singles players and beat Bloomsburg and West Chester in the PSAC Tournament after losing two more players to COVID-19 protocols. Millersville still made its first championship appearance since 2004.

Strategic Direction 3 INVEST STRATEGICALLY IN PEOPLE AND PLACE LOMBARDO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS DEAN DR. MARC TOMLJANOVICH is the first dean of the Lombardo College of Business. In his new role he is helping to design a financial literacy program for students and assisted with expanding academic offerings. Within the Lombardo College of Business, work is under way to develop new concentrations in HR Management, Cybersecurity, Healthcare Management and Wealth Management.

Dr. Marc Tomljanovich
Tomljanovich replaces the recently retired Dr. Doug Frazer.
MARAUDERS' NAME NEW BASKETBALL COACH Following a nationwide search, Director of Athletics Miles Gallagher named Colgate assistant SHARAY HALL the Marauders’ new women’s basketball coach. Hall is the 16th head coach for a program that started in 1918 and has posted an outstanding .622 winning percentage over the last 40 years. Hall takes the reins of the program from legendary coach Mary Fleig, who retired after leading the Marauders to nine NCAA Tournaments and winning seven PSAC East titles in 30 seasons. With a foundation in the PSAC and experience coaching at all three NCAA divisions, Hall most recently served in the Patriot League with
former Bloomsburg coach Bill Cleary at Colgate, helping the Raiders to a 19-11 record. During the season, she was named to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Thirty Under 30, which recognizes up-and-coming coaches under the age of 30 who have exemplified their involvement in community service; mentorship and impact on others; professional manner, and attitude and professional association involvement. As Hall begins her first season as women’s head basketball coach, she says she is extremely excited about the recruiting class. "All of them understand that we are building a culture where it is bigger than basketball and family is valued,” said Hall.
Ms. Sharay Hall
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Hall became an All-PSAC East selection at Lock Haven University for Millersville alum Jennifer Smith. After graduating with a degree in psychology in 2012, Hall stayed on the Lock Haven staff as a student assistant while earning a master’s degree in sports and exercise psychology. 11

“I would not be able to pursue post-secondary education without grants and scholarships. With the help of scholarships that I have received for both my freshman and sophomore years, the funds have allowed me to seize the high-quality education I desire to achieve my goals of music production. It is my desire to connect my interest in technology with my love of music, which will aid me in pursuing a career in music production. Music is a great communicator and equalizer. It cuts across backgrounds, economics, religions, and race and
brings people together. I want to encourage self-love and self-awareness through the music I produce or create—whether it is for an artist or for myself, I want to create music that will be these things and more to all who listen. “After successfully completing my bachelor’s degree from the Tell School of Music, I hope to secure an internship that will showcase and hone my production and/or sound design/engineering skills. I would like to be working in a studio, assisting production of an artist to find their best voice.”

LOIS MORGAN Gives Back Championship opportunities lost for studentathletes was the immediate impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Millersville Athletics. But off the field of play, as many businesses and individuals throughout the community struggled to adapt and survive, Millersville Athletics faced a stark financial outlook. Camps and clinics, facility rentals and ticketing–significant sources of fundraising for student-athlete scholarships— suddenly disappeared. Still, Millersville committed to honoring student-athlete scholarships. Help came from LOIS MORGAN ’54. Morgan, who in 2018 established the Morgan Scholarship Fund for Women’s Athletics with

the largest endowed gift in Millersville Athletics history, recently committed an additional $500,000 to fund the Morgan Fund for Athletic Scholarships, which will support all intercollegiate athletic programs. Morgan’s gift is crucial to keeping Millersville Athletics’ scholarships funded during a time when coaches and staff are handicapped in their fundraising efforts. In the prior year, Millersville Athletics raised over $2 million to aid in the funding of scholarships and operations, but without gifts like Morgan’s, matching that total for 2021-22 will be unattainable.

GRANT OVERVIEW
TECHNOLOGY USED DURING PANDEMIC AND AFTERMATH OF CYBERATTACK
Each year, PASSHE’s Professional Faculty Development Council awards grants to professors to encourage them to develop their scholarly expertise. Millersville University faculty topped the chart this year with more proposals submitted than any other State System school. That resulted in Millersville faculty receiving more money for their grants than any other institution. Of the 15 proposals submitted by MU faculty, eight were funded with a total of $59,825.
Millersville’s Information Technology Help Desk received hundreds of calls, emails and chat requests after the February cyberattack. IT brought in extra help to answer questions and assist faculty, staff and students. From self help areas on the web to how-to articles, IT has compiled resources at wiki.millersville.edu.
Millersville faculty and staff submitted over $24 million in grant proposals last year, the highest total submitted in 10 years. The University received over $11 million in awards.
INDIVIDUAL GRANTS OF NOTE DR. KAREN RICE Behavioral Health Workforce Training Grant (Opioid Intervention), U.S. DHHS Health Resources administration, SOWK, PI—$1.9 million. DR. THOMAS NEUVILLE Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities, U.S. Department of Education, EDFN, PI—$2.4 million. DR. NANETTE MARCUM-DIETRICH Upstream-Downstream Collaboration Watershed Education, National Oceanic and Atmospheric and Oceanic, EDFN, PI—$396,318.
New since the cyberattack is required multifactor authentication, which uses multiple proofs of identity to ensure you are authorized to access a service or resource. Types of proof can be summarized as: something you have (bank card or cell phone), something you are (fingerprint or retina scan), and something you know (password). Multifactor authentication provides the university community with a muchneeded extra layer of security that severely curtails unauthorized access to critical student and university data.

Lombardo
HALL
Thanks to the largest single gift in Millersville University’s history, Brooks Hall will be transformed into the Samuel N. and Dena M. Lombardo Hall—home of the Lombardo College of Business. Dr. Samuel Lombardo and his wife Dena have been supporters of Millersville University for many years. Their gift of $5 million brings their total giving to the University to almost $10 million. “This transformative gift will establish Lombardo Hall as a collaborative and inclusive campus space that brings together business, entrepreneurship and innovation,” said Dr. Daniel A. Wubah, president of Millersville University. “As we implement our strategic plan— “Tradition and Transformation”—there is perhaps no better project that fits this theme than the complete renovation of Brooks Hall to be the future home for the Lombardo College of Business, the University’s first named college. It will nurture student success for generations to come.”
• New lighting fixtures and a sound system were installed at the Carpenter-Trout Strength Center. • With renovations completed at Dilworth, Payroll
moved to the west side of the building and opened up space for training purposes. A water distribution upgrade added two additional test wells to provide redundancy for the current well. The Francine G. McNairy Library and Learning Forum received sound-dampening HVAC modifications. Buildings across campus were upgraded to comply with new IT security protocols.
• • •
EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS
• Renovations in Osburn Hall allowed for the installation of a new ESKO plotter-cutter system, a machine that can be used to cut through various materials and fabricate simulated packaging, for students in the Packaging Engineering Technology program. Breidenstine Hall now has a new fabrication lab. Dutcher Hall now has a new Entertainment Technology Studio on the second floor.
Our offices of Capital Construction, Contracting and Design have been busy this past year working on facilities, educational buildings and with other renovations on campus.

Strategic Direction 4 COMMUNICATE OUR VALUE One of the outcomes of the pandemic was the need to develop new ways to interact with each other. Our alumni hosted several virtual events, including, a book club and behind-the-scenes campus tours. Additionally, we created a new volunteer platform, Volunteer at the ‘Ville, to connect our alumni to our students. Here’s a look at a few of the Virtual Alumni Events of 2020-2021: AMS ANNUAL MEETING VIRTUAL ALUMNI RECEPTION 110 attendees Representing 5 decades of classes from 24 different states
BLACK ALUMNI NETWORK ONE DAY GIVE ZOOM PARTY 20 attendees Representing 3 decades of classes from 5 different states MILLER & S’VILLE ZOOM PAINT & SIP 38 attendees Representing 7 decades of classes from 8 different states VIRTUAL TRIVIA NIGHTS 79 attendees Representing 7 decades of classes from 4 different states
Commencement Ceremonies Millersville University held four face-to-face commencement ceremonies on May 6, 7 and 8, 2021, to celebrate the 2020 graduates, as well as the 2021 graduates.

WARE CENTER CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY One of the many features that makes Millersville special is our proximity to, and connection with, the city of Lancaster. The Ware Center serves as our gateway to downtown Lancaster. During a typical year, The Ware Center holds more than 250 events. Since its opening, The Ware Center has welcomed nearly 500,000 attendees. Last year was the 10th anniversary of Millersville University’s Ware Center, a showcase of culture and talent from near and far.
The Ware Center has positively impacted our students and campus community, as well as the region. The arts are so important to a holistic education based on creativity, communication and collaboration. As the largest university in Lancaster County, we have a responsibility to our citizens, two of our EPPIIC Values align with that responsibility, public mission and professionalism. The space provides a gateway to Millersville University, and we are pleased to share it with the local community. While The Ware Center was closed during most of 2020 and the first half of 2021, it is once again lighting up downtown Lancaster with jazz, poetry readings, film series, and productions for children of all ages!
SUSTAINABILITY Millersville University's commitment to sustainability is well established. This past academic year, we convened our first regional business conference focused on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). About 140 attendees and six partnering organizations participated in this conference. In recognition of our accomplishments, such as having the Lombardo Welcome Center as the first building in Pennsylvania to be certified as a zero energy building, we were among the first 45 higher education institutions in the U.S., and the only PASSHE institution, to be ranked in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings—a global ranking system that measures performance toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 18 | COMMUNICATE OUR VALUE
