MU Strengthens Commitment to Inclusive Excellence

This change that reflects the University’s strategic focus on embedding inclusivity into all aspects of campus life.

Millersville University announced a significant step forward in its commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming campus. The Office of Diversity and Inclusion has been renamed the Office for Inclusive Excellence, a change that reflects the University’s strategic focus on embedding inclusivity into all aspects of campus life.

This transition has been in development for more than five years, predating the arrival of Carlos Wiley, whose new title moving forward will be the Executive Director for Inclusive Excellence. Wiley, a dedicated advocate, will lead the office from its new location in the Student Memorial Center.

President Daniel A. Wubah emphasized that this move represents an important step in the University’s long-term strategy. “Inclusion is one of our core values at Millersville,” says Wubah. “The new name reinforces our dedication to integrate inclusivity into the very fabric of our institution. It will help strengthen our community so everyone feels they belong.”

The University is developing a new strategic plan that will guide Millersville for the next five years. The plan includes a renewed commitment to inclusive excellence, which Wubah says will help to set the standard for campus culture.

“We want to ensure that inclusion is not just a statement, but a principle that guides our decisions and actions,” Wubah added. “This office will be a cornerstone of our efforts to foster a welcoming campus for all.”

Wiley echoed this sentiment, expressing his enthusiasm for leading the office’s efforts. “This move is about more than just a name change,” said Wiley. “It represents Millersville University’s continued effort to ensure that everyone—students, faculty, staff and visitors—feels welcomed, valued, and included from the moment they set foot on campus.”

University leadership encourages students and staff to engage with the Office for Inclusive Excellence and participate in initiatives designed to strengthen the sense of belonging across campus.
