Abby Norman, a government major concentrating in pre-law here at Millersville University, is the new student liaison to the Millersville Borough. In her new position, Norman is responsible for conducting monthly reports for the Borough Council and tasked to represent the student body at Millersville University. This includes information about events, student opinions on campus life and aspects of the University that may impact the residents of the borough.
“Essentially, my job is to make sure student voices are heard by the Borough Council or by the right people so we can make improvements,” Norman explains.
Norman was inspired to take this role because she enjoys helping others and representing different groups and constituencies. In her previous role as a district office intern for Rep. Smith-Wade-El, Norman helped to connect people to the office’s services, like assisting residents file property tax rent rebates or claim their unclaimed property.” We didn’t just provide services, but we directed individuals to the right place when we couldn’t help them directly. Being able to help constituents with important services made the internship truly wonderful and worthwhile.” says Norman.
“I would like to reiterate my thanks to Dr. Richard Glenn of the government department for nominating me for this position and to Dr. Victor DeSantis from the administration for appointing me thereafter. I would not be in this position without their careful consideration. I would also like to thank the Borough Council for accepting me and being great to work with thus far. I am eager to begin working with the students at Millersville University in this way, and I cannot wait to hear from them,” Norman concludes.
