Even if enrollment may be low, it is not fair to discontinue a program that statistically, majors do incredible when they go on to become physics teachers themselves. The impact these "small numbers" has is shown in how many more learn from those handful of students, and the quality MU physics majors go on to implement in their own careers.
Having a physics major validates every aspect of physics education at Millersville. I have great respect for all those who have taught at MU over the years, especially those who helped me become a physics teacher nearly 40 years ago. Dooley, Price, Cooney- you may not be there anymore in person but I carry you with me to class everyday
I'm sure on an excel spreadsheet the Physics Dept doesn't come across as very cost effective. However, there is an obvious need for the understanding of physics if we are going to understand the world around us. I'm not a physicist, but I know we need them. And we need physics teachers to teach our young people. Please save the department.
The Physics program at Millersville University prepared me for graduate school in ways that I look back and continue to appreciate. Without their rigorous Physics program, I would not have achieved the success I have in graduate school and beyond. I hope that the department and program continues to be available to provide a valuable and affordable Physics education for Pennsylvania residents like me all those years ago.
The physics education I received at Millersville University prepared me for graduate school in ways that, at the time, I did not truly appreciate. My success in graduate school (Physics) and beyond would not have been possible with the rigorous and affordable Physics program provided by Millersville University. I hope the program continues to exist for the benefit of other students in the same boat I was all those years ago.
For the last 18 years, I have changed high school students' lives by introducing them to physics using the knowledge I acquired as a Physics graduate from Millersville. Save this program!
I am reaching out on behalf of concerned students, parents, and staff regarding the extreme heat conditions in the gym. The current temperatures create an uncomfortable and potentially unsafe environment, especially during physical activities.My son is asthmatic in playing gym in extreme heat is crucial
Si las condiciones en esa escuela en cuanto a la temperatura son terribles en invierno suben a mil la calefacción y en verano no hay ventilación los ventiladores asignados solo si. Para dar aire a los maestros y los estudiantes sufren.
