Call for Alumni Mentors!
Register by July 16
|
|
Do you want a fun way to connect with current students and give back to your alma mater? You should become an Alumni Mentor! By volunteering as a mentor, you’ll be matched with a student based on similar interests or backgrounds. You’ll help your mentee learn what to expect in school, how to approach challenges, gain career advice and valuable insights.
Mentors can make a real difference in the lives of students and help contribute to their success. Once you are matched with a mentee, you can decide how and how often you want to connect, which can happen via email, phone, video chat, text, or in-person. Even a small amount of time can make a large impact.
Just click here to register! You’ll be directed to create a profile and complete a brief survey which will be used to ensure that you and your mentee are a good fit. Additional information will be shared via email and text message about how to use the online platform – administered by Mentor Collective – as well as all the support you’ll need to start and sustain your mentorship.

Biemesderfer Stadium Renovation Campaign Begins
With Historic $1.5 Million Gift
|
|
Behind a record-setting $1.5 million gift from Lois Morgan ’54, Millersville University Athletics has announced the start of a campaign to raise funds for a three-phase renovation to Biemesderfer Stadium. Morgan’s gift is the largest single gift in the history of Millersville Athletics and puts the campaign over halfway to its initial $2.5 million goal. The first step in the renovation plan is to overhaul and expand the locker rooms and athletic training rooms at the stadium built in 1968. The following phases to the plan include installing a video scoreboard, replacing the existing scoreboard from 2003, and a new press box.
The Biemesderfer Stadium renovation project is part of the University’s facility master plan, and the fundraising effort is one area of focus of the ongoing “Imagine the Possible” campaign, which has raised more than $7 million for Marauder Athletics since July 2017.
