Donna Hernandez retired from MU in the Spring of 2020. She was hired as a part-time Clerk-Typist 1 in December of 1986 into the department that had recently been renamed as Industry & Technology at that time. Eventually she became our full-time secretary upon the retirement of Fay Bledsoe. Donna served the university for 33.5 years, retiring as a Clerk-Typist 3, the highest rank in the secretarial classification system. Below is an excerpt from the message I sent to the faculty after Donna had announced her retirement by email a day or so earlier: 
A student design team from Professor Cindy English’s ITEC 342 Computer-Aided Engineering Drawing course participated in the annual Made in Millersville (MIM) research conference. The conference is one of the largest student conferences among the 14 state system schools that involves over 150 students presenting, performing, or exhibiting their scholarly and creative work while gaining a professional conference experience. This year’s participants presentations were both of the synchronous and asynchronous formats for the virtual event. The synchronous presentations were streamed live allowing the presenters to be interviewed by professors and alumni who give feedback to the students concerning their work. 
The induction ceremony was led by current Gamma Epsilon Tau officers— President Sara Franks, Vice President Alejandro Rosario, Treasurer Makenna Hewitt, Secretary Meghan Hlodash, and Historian Macy Souders. Inductees participated in an initiation ceremony which included creating a uniquely inked pin.
In 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Act was signed into law, creating the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). As both OSHA and NIOSH celebrate 50 years of helping to keep American workers safe and healthy, the Millersville University Applied Engineering, Safety & Technology Department (AEST) marks the 40th Anniversary of the Occupational Safety and Environmental Health (OSEH) Program! 
Evelyn Dais is currently an undergraduate student studying Robotics and Control Systems Technology Management. Within the past year, she joined a newly formed organization called the National Society of Black Engineers. Upon joining this organization, Evelyn wanted to make an impact on underrepresented students in STEM fields. Although many initiatives are getting more student involvement in these fields, she believed there is more to be done, more than “students” can do to remind other students of their potential. Ms. Dais has worked tirelessly towards bringing like-minded individuals together to make her vision of an event as successful as possible.
Millersville’s Dr. Scott Warner is joining an elite group of educators. He was recently selected by his peers on the Council on Technology and Engineering Teacher Education (CTETE) to be the Technology and Engineering Teacher Educator of the Year for 2021. The CTETE is an affiliate organization of the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA). He was honored at the 83rd annual conference of the ITEEA. 
AEST received a generous donation of engineering software which provides students in the Fluid Power course exposure to an actual tool used in industry. PIPE-FLO is a fluid system modeling and calculation software. Mr. Joe Benefield facilitated both the donations and training needed to get the systems up and running. Fifty license keys were donated, and the experience it provides the students gives them valuable experience with an industry-standard tool.
AEST, in conjunction with University Information Technology Services, has been supporting webinars offered by the Susquehanna Litho Club (SLC). The club typically hosts in-person meetings for their members, guests, and graphics students on various technical and industry-related topics. Due to pandemic restrictions, SLC was unable to hold meetings in their usual format and sought a partner to provide a technical solution. The University was able to host webinars for three of SLC’s events.
