Support Student Success

And The College of Science and Technology

There is something truly special happening in the College of Science and Technology at Millersville University. Our students are conducting original research alongside dedicated faculty mentors, presenting at national conferences, competing at the highest levels, and going on to do remarkable things in their careers and communities. None of that happens without the generous support of people like you.

This year, we are raising funds across four areas — each one directly tied to student opportunity and success. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being part of this.

  • Igniting Innovation: Building Science for the Next Generation

    Earth Science Research and Travel Gift

    Female student holding up a ribbon, standing in front of a displayThe Department of Earth Sciences believes that the most powerful classroom is hands-on feet-wet research experiences!  Every year, our undergraduates step beyond textbooks and into research that investigates the processes that shape not only our environment but our communities. 

    With your help, our students can explore, innovate, and lead.  You're not just funding research; you are also empowering the next generation of geologists, meteorologists, and emergency management professionals who will shape a safer and more resilient world!

    From studying hydrology in the carbonate terrane of Sinking Valley PA to analyzing fluid inclusions in the Lackawanna Synclinorium, our geology and environmental earth science students gain exceptional field and laboratory experiences.  Through Project TILTTING, our meteorology students travel the Northeast and the Great Plains to study severe weather firsthand.  They collect data, deploy instruments, and contribute to research that improves forecasting and public safety.  Our Emergency Management students participate in and lead Community Emergency Response Training so that they understand how to respond to a disaster.  Emergency Management students apply geospatial analysis skills to identify areas at high risk of geologic hazards to better inform the community and emergency management professionals. 

    Not only do our students conduct this research, but they also present their findings at prestigious national conferences including the American Meteorological Society, the Geological Society of America, and the International Association of Emergency Managers.

    Chemistry Instrumentation Initiative

    Students performing lab expirementModernizing Chemistry Instrumentation:

    Please support the department by ensuring the students continue to have access to modern instrumentation to help them excel both at Millersville and their future endeavors. Your donation will directly impact the ongoing modernizing of chemistry instrumentation resulting in preparing students to be impactful and successful in their careers and research.

    Chemistry Majors utilize advanced instrumentation (NMR, GC-MS, Fluorimeter, and others) throughout the curriculum and in faculty mentored undergraduate research. This research leads to student presentations at national meetings and student first-author peer-reviewed publications. Graduates from our program go into instrumentation heavy careers and top national PhD programs.
