Here you will find an environment that inspires intellectual discovery and personal growth. Our exceptional faculty and staff are committed to your success, and I encourage you to take advantage of our community and the accessibility of these amazing people.
Inside and outside the classroom, the Mills support system is extensive. I would like to take this opportunity to identify senior administrators and College Officers, who oversee the administrative and academic offices and who are available to assist you. They are:

Orientation activities will introduce you to life at Mills, enhance your classroom studies, and help you make personal connections with your fellow Mills students. One of the most important aspects of your Mills experience will be your friendship and collaboration with your talented and diverse classmates—they may become your friends for life!
I wish you an unparalleled academic experience at Mills and a year of personal and academic growth.
