About the Marauder 

  • Why Millersville: Millersville impressed me from the first time I stepped on campus. In addition to the great reputation for the respiratory therapy program, Millersville's setting was unmatched. Having a chance to play under a coach who is interactive and provides leadership, such as Coach Vandegrift, is a great opportunity. Between the academic reputation for the respiratory therapy program and the competitiveness of the golf team, Millersville was the right choice for me.
