“Well, Millersville was always part of me. After I no longer went there, it was still on my mind and I kept following everything that they did. I’ve been contributing to Millersville throughout the years.”
Mae Slater Wingenroth, 1936-37, 1953 BSE
"My mother always said . . . be the very best that you can be, do the very best that you can do, and make me proud of you. And it was with that . . . there with the application when I started doing the student teaching. . .that’s when I excelled.”
Yvonne Lambert Toney, Class of 1962
“I’ve always gone right down to the essentials and that’s what Millersville taught us . . . never discredit or look down upon where people were. You just take them further along.”
Betty Curtis, Class of 1960
“I came to Millersville for the education program, Social Studies exactly. When I decided instead to just get a BA in History and double major in Government as well, I found Millersville to still be a great place to study what I wanted to. After Millersville I am hoping to go to law school and work for the Federal Government at some level.”
