Some Sessions include:

Empty Nest*:
How is it an empty nest when the birdies don’t leave? Come and discuss the expectations of today’s college students and their families as they tackle the fabled “empty nest” when your child is just a click, a text, a Skype, or a Facebook posting away.

Gender: Why Does Your Mate Seem Like a Different Species: How do you know males from females?*
What are the real differences that set us apart, and do they really matter? This lecture will cover the biological basis of gender. Along the way we’ll cover aspects of how sex is determined, the difference between sex and gender, as well as the myriad biological, social and cultural aspects of gender.

Nutrition for Healthy Living*:
This interactive presentation will discuss: What makes a food or a meal healthy? How do we choose healthy foods? How do we judge a healthy and appropriate portion size?

Seeing Our Purpose: Stories We Tell*:
Everyone has a purpose in life. This purpose rises above vocation, job or career. Clarifying your personal purpose is both a challenge and a joy. Calibrating your personal compass serves the present and informs the future. This session creates vision through remembering and repeating personal stories. Each of us has a moment in our experience that demonstrates, defines and lends directional passion to life’s choices. If you want to participate in an interactive session of hearing and telling stories for personal development this is your assembly.

Involvement & Student Engagement*: Now that your student has been at Millersville for a few months, we want to make sure he/she knows what there is to do on campus. Representatives from the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership office will talk with you about opportunities for your student to get involved in the Millersville Community.

Historical Tour of the Millersville*:
Did you know that Millersville has an underground maze of secret tunnels? Or that E.O. Lyte, former President, wrote ‘Row Row Row Your Boat’? This is a tour unlike any you’ve had before here on campus. Learn what makes Millersville unique by immersing yourself in the history of the college.

About the Play: On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her fathers who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draws Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness or genius will she inherit?

About the Production: The centerpiece of all the stories in this family-friendly event is a tree that sheltered, shielded and nurtured countless characters that have passed her way over the years. The tree's caretaker, Arbolita, shares four of these stories with Tomas, a storyteller who is looking for tales for his collection. Two of the stories are adapted from Spanish legend told in the oral tradition. One story originates from Mexico and another from Puerto Rico plus the classic Little Red Riding Hood. This bilingual musical full of universal stories is told with a lively Latino beat - both in English and Spanish.
