Millena Williams Wilson

Communications Manager, Student Affairs Central Office

Growing up in a small town and a farming family, reading classic novels set all around the world made me hungry for what I could find outside of my comfort zone. I was the first off to college 'far away' (four hours downstate to LSU) and it was here that I found confirmation there was more to continue to see and learn. 

I quickly got involved on campus and my advisors became my biggest cheerleaders and second set of parents as I was a first generation student. They pushed me toward more adventures, told me hard truths, and made sure I put my dreams first along the way.

I do this work so that I can help create a place where students find the courage and firm footing to take off and be whoever they dream of being.

Alternate career

If I didn't work in communications, I'd want to be a teacher.

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is the Greek Theatre. The view of the tangled oaks in the Enchanted Forest behind the clean lines of the theatre seating is the perfect contradiction.

You'd be surprised to know

I'm a sucker for research. I want the data, the numbers, and all the alternatives before making a decision.

Education

MPA, Seattle University
BA, Louisiana State University
