Special Presentation
Presentation: Connecting Millersville University Students to Lancaster City
Douglas Zander, Associate Vice President and Dean of Admissions Enrollment Management, along with Joni Kiopp, Director of Undergraduate Recruitment at Millersville University, introduced an exciting new initiative aimed at encouraging students to explore everything Lancaster City has to offer. Millersville University is collaborating with Discover Lancaster and the City of Lancaster’s Welcome Center to enhance the information provided in their admission packets.
Doug Zander announced the development of a scavenger hunt for the upcoming fall semester, targeting 1,200 incoming students. This contest will encourage students to visit local businesses and capture selfies along the way. Businesses interested in participating can reach out to Doug at douglas.zander@millersville.edu
Marshall Snively enthusiastically encouraged all merchants and businesses to join this initiative.
