From President Anderson Welcome to Millersville University’s magazine, The Review. In this issue, you can read about the success of our social work program through the eyes of our alumni, see a photo montage of our spring graduation and learn about the man behind Clair Companies, Roy Clair Jr. We’ll also take a stroll back in time to the 1800s and the Civil War. This past year we came together as a community to outline our dreams to engage students, ensure the University’s long-term success and embrace agility. “Our Bold Path,” MU’s strategic plan, will allow us to distinguish ourselves as an institution of higher learning while preserving what we do well. As a result, we are pleased to announce the launch of two new doctoral degrees in Educational Leadership and Social Work. These exciting new opportunities are designed with flexibility for the working professional. And we have renamed our academic units from “schools” to “colleges.” The new terminology reflects the growth of Millersville’s academic offerings and reputation. We’re proud of our more than 1,000 spring graduates who are being highly sought after by employers or are going on to the finest graduate schools in the country. In fact, in a survey of Millersville graduates, 97 percent reported that they were currently employed. From being active in community service to being well-prepared to lead successful professional lives and becoming engaged citizens of the world, our students and alumni are using their degrees for the good of society as a whole. This summer, take some time to stop by our beautiful campus. Located on 250 acres in the heart of historic Lancaster County, we enjoy a tranquil setting featuring a blend of historic buildings and modern structures, including our new residence halls, and of course, our resident swans, Miller and S’Ville. We look forward to seeing you on campus soon. Best regards,
John M. Anderson, Ph.D. President 2 REVIEW SPRING/SUMMER 2015
