Transformation and Student Success Defined

President Francine G. McNairy unveils the draft definition for student success within the transformation framework.

During her convocation speech on September 7, President Francine G. McNairy unveiled the draft definition for student success within the transformation framework:

Students’ immersion in the Millersville experience awakens their intellectual curiosity, heightens their self-awareness and sharpens their personal desire to engage in deep learning – empowering them to make productive contributions to our dynamic world. 

McNairy explained that embedded in this definition are five key factors:

  • Intellectual curiosity
  • Personal desire
  • Self-awareness
  • Deep learning
  • Productive contributions

The definition of student success builds on the definition of transformation, which was first shared with the University community during convocation in September 2012:

Transformation at Millersville University is an understanding of our past while we undertake a thorough or dramatic change —a metamorphosis—of this University at the start of the 21st century.

Transformation’s three themes are:

  • Student success
  • Increase advocacy
  • Effective structures and services
