Summer/Fall 2011

Dear Students and Families;

We hope you enjoyed a restful and productive summer break.  We look forward to meeting the new first year and transfer students and welcoming back our returning students.

As you arrive on campus for the start of a new semester (new students on Wednesday, August 24 and returning students Saturday and Sunday, August 27 and 28; please review your housing assignment letter), you will see the many exciting changes taking place at Millersville.  The Student Memorial Center has been transformed into a premier social activity center and work is well underway on our new visual and performing arts center.

While we are vigorously pursuing all of these wonderful projects, we are aware of and sensitive to the temporary inconvenience that construction areas present. To maximize the orderly flow of traffic on campus during our opening days, we request your cooperation with the plan detailed below.  Color- coded maps of campus have been included for your convenience.  And, we will keep our website, www.millersville.edu up-to-date with the latest information.
