Welcome Millersville family,
The members of local 2421 AFSCME would like to welcome all returning and new students, faculty and staff. As a union we call each other brothers and sisters because we support and help each other as a family would. So, whether it's finding your way on campus or needing help in any other way, just ask. We are all here to support and aid in the success of our MU family.
In solidarity,

APSCUF-MU
Dear students, colleagues, and friends—welcome!
There’s a certain energy that comes with the start of a new academic year. You can feel it in the walkways between classes, in the chatter at the dining hall, and in the buzz of classrooms filling up again. To our new students, the Class of 2029, welcome to Millersville. You’re stepping into a community that values curiosity, care, and connection. To our returning students, faculty, staff, and administrators, it’s good to be back with you.
Our campus really is a special place. It’s not just the brick buildings or green spaces that make it unique. It’s the people. It is the chance encounters with colleagues, the enlightening moments in the classroom, and the acts of care and support we provide for one another. That’s what makes this place feel alive.
As president of APSCUF (the faculty union), I’m especially proud to represent a faculty who care deeply about their students and who work every day to make Millersville a place where learning thrives.
As we begin this academic year, I hope you find moments of joy, challenge, and discovery—both inside and outside of the classroom. We’re glad you’re here, and we’re looking forward to all that this year will bring.
In solidarity,
Oliver Dreon, PhD, President -APSCUF-MU

SCUPA-MU
Greetings to the University Community,
The State College and University Professional Association (SCUPA) at Millersville University extends a warm and hearty welcome to new and returning students, staff, and faculty.
Throughout this year the world of education has experienced uncertainty and adjustment as we see colleges and universities confront and battle criticism and economic sanction that brings a question to the true meaning of the right of free speech, and the importance of recognizing, celebrating and respecting the ideals of diversity, equity and inclusion. We are again tasked to examine our true commitment to our mission as educators and assess how we will continue to present to our students our belief in our EPPIIC values and continue to motivate, inspire and empower them towards the personal and professional growth and development that will help them become the leaders who will create change in the world for the good of all peoples.
SCUPA-MU is proud to continue to support, nurture, and encourage the academic and personal growth and development of our students. We believe a collaborative effort of persistence and determination to succeed by students, dedication and commitment to University EPPIIC values, vision, mission and strategic directions by staff, faculty and administration, and a balanced blend of respect and cooperation from all will be the key elements for achieving and sustaining student success and prosperity for the future of our campus community and beyond. We remain dedicated to that noble effort.
SCUPA- MU wishes the Campus Community a happy, safe, and prosperous academic year.
Rita M. Miller | President, SCUPA-MU
