The Commission on the Status of Women is the umbrella organization that monitors and improves the campus climate for women. The Commission promotes gender equity in sports and awards grants from the Women's Issues Endowment. It is instrumental in recruiting students and faculty for the State System Women's Consortium's annual Undergraduate Women's Leadership Institute. The Commission is currently leading efforts to explore expanding campus childcare facilities to include care for infants and toddlers.

The Women's Center, established in 1993, aims to promote women's concerns and perspectives through a variety of educational programs for the University community. Its resources range from videos to pamphlets to referral services. Programs address issues such as eating disorders, women's images in the media, women's health, communication between the sexes, diversity, violence against women, and assertiveness. The Center publishes newsletters and pairs women students with campus and community mentors.

The Women's Studies minor, launched in 1993, has about 27 students. The program sponsors faculty/staff workshops and an annual conference in which high school girls spend a day with Millersville women. The program also sponsors the journal MUsings, featuring contributions by students and employees.
