Mills College was initially founded as the '' Young Ladies Seminary'' at [[Benicia, California|Benicia]] in 1852. It was under the leadership of Mary Atkins, a graduate of [[Oberlin College]]. In 1865, [[Susan Tolman Mills]], a graduate of [[Mount Holyoke College]] (then ''Mount Holyoke Female Seminary''), and her husband Cyrus Mills bought the ''Young Ladies Seminary'' renaming it ''Mills Seminary''. In 1871, the school was moved to [[Oakland, California]] and the school was incorporated in 1877. The school became Mills College in 1885. In 1890, after serving for decades as principal (under two presidents as well), Susan Mills became the president of the college and held the position for 19 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9125876?tocId=9125876 |title=Susan Lincoln Tolman Mills|accessdate= |author=|date= |work= |publisher=Encyclopædia Britannica Online}}</ref> Beginning in 1906 the seminary classes were progressively eliminated. In 1921, Mills granted its first [[master's degree]]s. |

|||
== Early years == |
|||
Marciano was born and raised in [[Brockton, Massachusetts]] to Pierino Marchegiano and Pasqualina Picciuto. Both of his parents were immigrants from Italy: his father was from [[Ripa Teatina]], [[Abruzzo]], while his mother was from [[San Bartolomeo in Galdo]], [[Campania]]. Rocky had three sisters—Alice, Concetta and Elizabeth—and two brothers—Sonny and Peter. When he was about eighteen months old, he got [[pneumonia]], from which he almost died. |
|||
Mills is fully accredited by the [[Western Association of Schools and Colleges|Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)]]. The college follows a semester system, with fall semester commencing in late August and ending in December, and spring quarter beginning in mid-January ending in May.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mills College academic calendar|url=http://www.mills.edu/academics/calendars/academic_calendar.php|accessdate=27 February 2012}}</ref> |
|||
In his youth, he played [[baseball]], worked out on homemade [[Weight training|weightlifting]] equipment (later in his life, Marciano was also a client of [[Charles Atlas]])<ref>[http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Muscle-Man.html?c=y "Charles Atlas: Muscle Man"] by Jonathan Black, ''Smithsonian'' magazine, August 2009.</ref> and used a stuffed mail bag that hung from a tree in his back yard as a [[heavy bag]]. He attended [[Brockton High School]], where he played both baseball and football. However, he was cut from the school baseball team because he had joined a church league, violating a school rule forbidding players from joining other teams. He dropped out of school after finishing tenth grade. |
|||
=== Rankings and admissions === |
|||
Marciano then worked as a chute man on delivery trucks for the Brockton Ice and Coal Company. He also worked as a ditch digger and as a shoemaker. Rocky was also a resident of [[Hanson, Massachusetts]]; the house he lived in still stands on Main Street. |
|||
In 2011, [[U.S. News & World Report|''U.S. News & World Report'']] ranked Mills fifth overall among colleges and universities in the West and seventh in the West in "Great Schools, Great Prices," which evaluated the quality of institutions' academics against the cost of attendance.<ref name="US News" /> [[The Princeton Review]] ranked Mills as one of the ''Best 376 Colleges'' in the nation in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Best 376 Colleges - 2012|url=http://www.princetonreview.com/rankingsbest.aspx|work=The Princeton Review|accessdate=27 February 2012}}</ref> ''[[Washington Monthly]]'' named Mills #27 among the top master's universities in the country based on research, service, and social mobility.<ref>{{cite web|title=2011 Master's Universities Rankings|url=http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/rankings_2011/masters_universities_rank.php|work=Washington Monthly College Guide|accessdate=27 February 2012}}</ref> |

|||
In March 1943, Marciano was drafted into the [[United States Army|Army]] for a term of two years. Stationed in [[Swansea]], [[Wales]], he helped ferry supplies across the [[English Channel]] to [[Normandy]]. After the war ended, he completed his service in March 1946 at [[Fort Lewis]], Washington.<ref>{{cite book |

In an unusual move, however, Marciano returned to the amateur ranks and fought in the [[Golden Gloves]] All-East Championship Tournament in March 1948. He was beaten by [[Coley Wallace]].<ref>{{cite book |

After failing to find a spot on another team, he returned to Brockton and began boxing training with longtime friend, Allie Colombo. [[Al Weill]] and Chick Wergeles served as his managers and [[Charley Goldman]] as his trainer and teacher. |

The campus is lovingly described in alumna [[Jade Snow Wong]]'s book ''Fifth Chinese Daughter'', first published in 1945. |

== Professional career == |
|||
Although he had one professional fight (against Lee Epperson), on his record, Marciano began fighting permanently as a professional boxer on July 12, 1948. That night, he notched a win over Harry Bilizarian (3–6–0). He won his first sixteen bouts by knockout, all before the fifth round, and nine before the first round was over. Don Mogard (17–9–1) became the first boxer to last [[The distance (boxing)|the distance]] (full 10 rounds scheduled) with "The Rock," but Marciano won by unanimous decision. |
|||
=== Julia Morgan buildings=== |
|||
Early in his career, he changed the spelling of his last name. The ring announcer in [[Providence, Rhode Island]] could not pronounce Marchegiano, so Marciano's handler, Al Weill, suggested they create a pseudonym. The first suggestion was Rocky Mack, which Marciano rejected. He decided to go with the more Italian-sounding "Marciano."<ref>[http://www.thesportgallery.com/rockymarciano2.html Rocky Marciano at The Port Gallery]</ref> |

Marciano won three more fights by knockout and then he met [[Ted Lowry]] (58–48–9), who, according to many scribes and witnesses, probably managed to win three or four of the ten rounds from Marciano. Nevertheless, Marciano kept his winning streak alive by beating Lowry by unanimous decision. Four more knockout wins followed, including a five rounder on December 19, 1949 with Phil Muscato (56–20–0), an experienced [[heavyweight]] from [[Buffalo, New York]] and the first "name fighter" Marciano would face. Three weeks after that fight, Marciano beat Carmine Vingo (16–1–0) by a fifth round knockout in New York that almost killed Vingo. |

On March 24, 1950, Marciano fought [[Roland La Starza]], winning by split decision. La Starza may have come closer than any other boxer to defeating Marciano. The scoring for the bout was 5–4, 4–5, 5–5 and Marciano won on a supplemental point system used by New York and Massachusetts at that time. It should also be noted that this scoring system did not award an extra point for a knockdown and Marciano scored a knockdown in this fight. Referee Watson decided the bout, scoring it 9–6 for Marciano. Both boxers were undefeated at the time of the fight, with La Starza's record at 37–0. |

=== Music === |

The Music Program at Mills is noted for being at the forefront of experimental music study and composition. Well-known composer [[Luciano Berio]] was on the music faculty of Mills in 1962-1964, and in 1966 [[Pauline Oliveros]] became the first director of the Tape Music Center (later the Center for Contemporary Music),<ref>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=-uSNYnr3VWIC&pg=PA34 |page=34 |title=The San Francisco Tape Music Center: 1960s counterculture and the avant-garde |last=Bernstein |first=David W. |publisher=University of California Press |year=2008 |isbn=0520248929}}</ref> where she composed her electronic works "Alien Bog" and "Beautiful Soop". [[Morton Subotnick]], later a member of the faculty, received his master's degree from Mills, studying composition with [[Leon Kirchner]] and [[Darius Milhaud]]. [[Laurie Anderson]], [[Dave Brubeck]], [[Phil Lesh]], and [[Steve Reich]] attended the program, as well as the famous synthesizer designer [[Don Buchla]]. [[Terry Riley]] taught at Mills starting in the early 1970s. Avant-garde jazz pioneer [[Anthony Braxton]] has taught at Mills on an intermittent basis since the 1970s. [[Lou Harrison]], [[Pandit Pran Nath]], [[Iannis Xenakis]], [[Alvin Curran]], [[Anthony Braxton]], [[Gordon Mumma]], [[Frederic Rzewski]], [[Fred Frith]], and many others have all taught music at Mills. |

Marciano won three more knockouts in a row before a rematch with Lowry (61–56–10). Marciano again won by unanimous decision. After that, he won four more by knockout, and, after a decision win over [[Red Applegate]] (11–14–2) late April 1951, he was showcased on national television for the first time, when he knocked out [[Rex Layne]] (34–1–2) in six rounds on July 12, 1951. |
|||
Since 1976, the Center for Contemporary Music (CCM) has emphasized experimental methods in contemporary music and its allied arts and sciences. CCM maintains a variety of electronic equipment, instruments and studios, provides instruction and technical assistance, and archives audio recordings. The Center also performs a wide variety of community services in the arts, including public concerts and lecture series, informational and technical assistance, and artist residencies. [[Maggi Payne]] and [[Chris Brown (experimental music)|Chris Brown]] are presently co-directors of CCM. Payne is a composer, performer, interdisciplinary artist, and recording engineer. Brown is an instrument builder, a pianist, and a composer.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=ILkquoGXEq0C&pg=PA192 |page=192 |title=Electronic and experimental music: pioneers in technology and composition |last1=Holmes |first1=Thomas B. |last2=Holmes |first2=Thom |publisher=Psychology Press |year=2002 |isbn=0415936446 |edition=2}}</ref> |

On Oct. 27, 1951, the 27 year old, Marciano, took on the 37 year old, [[Joe Louis]]. Coming into the bout, Marciano was 6½ to 5 underdog.<ref>http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Sp0VAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9AsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5608,1297081&dq=rocky+marciano&hl=en</ref> Marciano would upset the favorite, Louis, in what would be the latter's last career bout, a result that left him with mixed emotions, as Louis had been his childhood idol. |
|||
<!-- === Art Museum === |
|||
After four more wins, including victories over 35 year old, [[Lee Savold]] (96–37–3) and [[Harry Matthews (boxer)|Harry Matthews]] (81–3–5), Marciano got his shot at the title. |
|||
Open to the public, the Mills College Art Museum is home to an amazing collection of more than 8,000 works of art—the largest permanent collection of any liberal arts college on the West Coast. The collection includes old masters and modern American and European prints and drawings; Asian textiles; Japanese, Ancient American, and modern ceramics; and California regionalist paintings. In 2005, Dr. William K. Ehrenfeld donated a collection of more than 800 pieces of African art, primarily from [[West Africa]] with an emphasis on art of the [[Yoruba]]. |
|||
Works from the permanent collection—including pieces by [[Pablo Picasso]], [[Diego Rivera]], [[Winslow Homer]], [[Rembrandt van Rijn]], [[Henri Matisse]], and [[Auguste Renoir]]—are displayed with an ever-changing series of special exhibitions that are designed to provoke, inspire, and even amuse. Students have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get involved in every aspect of the museum’s work: archival research, editing, photography, design, and installations. Undergraduates train to become curators and put together over six exhibitions with art from the collection. Every year art students also take on the management of the Senior and MFA exhibitions. |

== Championship fights == |
|||
Marciano, 28, faced the World Heavyweight Champion, 38-year-old [[Jersey Joe Walcott]] in [[Philadelphia]] on September 23, 1952. Walcott dropped Marciano in the first round and steadily built a points lead; but in the thirteenth, Walcott used his trademark feint to set up his right hand, but Marciano's "Suzie Q" landed first. Marciano landed a glancing left hook as Walcott slumped to his knees with his arm draped over the ropes. He lay motionless long after he had been counted out and Marciano became the new World Heavyweight Champion. At the time of the stoppage, Walcott was leading on all scorecards, 8–4, 7–5 and 7–4. |
|||
=== Natural Sciences Building === |
|||
His first defense came a year later, a rematch against Walcott, 39, who this time was knocked out in the first round. |
|||
In spring 2007, Mills will open its new {{convert|26000|ft2|m2|sing=on}} Natural Sciences Building. The facility features four new teaching laboratories, five new classrooms, a computer room for students, and centralized science faculty offices. Up-to-date instrumentation and leading-edge computing resources will support the academic programs. The addition will become the first building on the Mills campus to meet rigorous national standards as a [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design]] (LEED) “green building.” |
|||
=== Children’s School === |
|||
Next, it was [[Roland La Starza]]'s turn to challenge Marciano. After building a small lead on the judges' scorecards all the way to the middle rounds, Marciano won the rematch by a technical knockout in the eleventh round. |
|||
Founded in 1926 on the Mills College campus, the Children's School is the oldest laboratory school west of the [[Mississippi River]]. From its inception, the School has had the dual mission of providing quality education for both children and adults. A member of the East Bay Independent Schools Association, the Children’s School is open to the children of Mills students, faculty, and staff as well as the general public. |
|||
Since 2000 the Children's School has been housed in the Education Complex of the campus. The state-of-the-art facility includes an infant/toddler program, two preschool programs offering several scheduling options, and a kindergarten through fifth grade elementary school, each with age-appropriate playgrounds and structures. |
|||
Then came two consecutive bouts against former World Heavyweight Champion and [[light heavyweight]] legend, [[Ezzard Charles]], 33, who became the only man to ever last fifteen rounds against Marciano.<ref>Will Hammock. "[http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/home/headlines/95706489.html The Champ: County to honor legendary boxer Charles today]." ''Gwinnett Daily Post''. Jun 5, 2010</ref> Marciano won the first fight on points and the second by an eighth-round knockout. Then, Marciano met [[United Kingdom|British]] and [[Europe|European]] Champion, [[Don Cockell]]. Marciano knocked him out in the ninth round. |
|||
Undergraduate students majoring or minoring in child development, as well as graduate education students, have the unique opportunity of using the classroom for research and study under the guidance of master teachers with graduate degrees, professional credentials, and years of experience. |
|||
Marciano's last title bout was against 38 year old, [[Archie Moore]], on September 21, 1955. The bout was originally scheduled for September 20, but because of hurricane warnings, it had to be delayed a day. Marciano was knocked down for a four count in the second round. Marciano recovered and retained his title by way of a knockout in round nine. |
|||
Also housed on campus are the English First International Language School, a Greek theatre, and many other attractions. Its main route of entry, Richards Road, is included in ''The 100 Most Beautiful Streets of America.'' --> |

After his retirement, Marciano entered the world of television, first appearing in the ''[[Combat!]]'' episode "Masquerade" and then hosting a weekly boxing show on TV in 1961. For a brief period, he worked as a troubleshooting referee in wrestling (Marciano was a good wrestler in high school). He continued as a referee and boxing commentator in boxing matches for many years. He was also active in business as a partner and vice president of Papa Luigi Spaghetti Dens, a San Francisco based franchise company formed by Joe Kearns and James Braly. |
|||
Throughout the academic year, there are many events to attend on campus, many of which are open to the public. Events range from art exhibitions at the [http://www.mcam.mills.edu Mills College Art Museum], to concerts and dance performances, to the Fetish Ball and the Black & White Ball, to swim meets, readings, forums, lectures, and conferences on sustainable business. <ref>{{cite web|title=Millls College calendar of events|url=http://www.mills.edu/calendarexpress/month.php?catid=1|accessdate=27 February 2012}}</ref> With the college’s intimate size and setting, students have opportunities to help arrange events and meet guest speakers. |
|||
In late July 1969, shortly before his death, Marciano participated in the filming of the fantasy, ''[[The Super Fight|The Superfight: Marciano vs. Ali]]''. The two boxers were filmed sparring, then the film was edited to match a computer simulation of a hypothetical fight between them, each in their prime. It aired on January 20, 1970, with one version Maricano winning and the second version having Ali winning. |
|||
As a place of ideas and expression, Mills College attracts speakers from around the world.

In 1969, on the eve of his 46th birthday, Marciano was a passenger in a small private plane, a [[Cessna 172]]<ref>[http://www.check-six.com/Crash_Sites/MarcianoCessna.htm An Article On Marciano At Check Six]</ref> headed to [[Des Moines, Iowa]]. It was at night and bad weather set in. The pilot, Glenn Belz, had only 231 total hours of flying time, only 35 of them at night and was not certified to fly in [[instrument meteorological conditions]]. Belz tried to set the plane down at a small airfield outside [[Newton, Iowa]], but hit a tree two miles short of the runway. Rocky, Belz and 22-year-old Frankie Farrell (son of Italian mobster [[Louis Fratto]]) were killed on impact. The National Transportation Safety Board report said, "The pilot attempted an operation exceeding his experience and ability level, continued visual flight rules under adverse weather conditions and experienced [[spatial disorientation]] in the last moments of the flight."<ref>[http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=1705&more=1 Thirty Fifth Anniversary Of The Death Of Rocky Marciano<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

Mills College is an independent liberal arts and sciences college in the San Francisco Bay Area. Originally founded in 1852 as a young ladies' seminary in Benicia, California, Mills became the first women's college west of the Rockies. Currently, Mills is an undergraduate women's college in Oakland, California, with graduate programs for women and men. The college offers more than 40 undergraduate majors and 23 graduate degrees and certificates.
In 2011, U.S. News & World Report ranked Mills fifth overall among colleges and universities in the West and seventh in the West in "Great Schools, Great Prices," which evaluated the quality of institutions' academics against the cost of attendance.[1] The Princeton Review ranks Mills as one of the Best 376 Colleges[2] and one of the top "green" colleges in the U.S.[3]
History
Mills College was initially founded as the Young Ladies Seminary at Benicia in 1852. It was under the leadership of Mary Atkins, a graduate of Oberlin College. In 1865, Susan Tolman Mills, a graduate of Mount Holyoke College (then Mount Holyoke Female Seminary), and her husband Cyrus Mills bought the Young Ladies Seminary renaming it Mills Seminary. In 1871, the school was moved to Oakland, California and the school was incorporated in 1877. The school became Mills College in 1885. In 1890, after serving for decades as principal (under two presidents as well), Susan Mills became the president of the college and held the position for 19 years.[4] Beginning in 1906 the seminary classes were progressively eliminated. In 1921, Mills granted its first master's degrees.
On May 3, 1990, the Trustees announced that they had voted to admit male students.[5] This decision led to a two-week student and staff strike, accompanied by numerous displays of non-violent protests by the students.[6][7] At one point, nearly 300 students blockaded the administrative offices and boycotted classes.[8] On May 18, the Trustees met again to reconsider the decision, leading finally to a reversal of the vote.[9][10]
Academics
Continuing a historical tradition of innovative liberal arts programs,[11] Mills offers more than 40 undergraduate courses of study in the arts and sciences. The most popular undergraduate majors for the 2011-12 academic year at Mills are English; psychology; political, legal, and economic analysis (PLEA), child development, anthropology and sociology, and biology.[12] Students also have the option to create their own college major if they work with three faculty advisors to plan an individual program that draws courses from across the college's curriculum and creates an integrated, unique educational experience not already covered by an existing major.[13] Mills also provides the first two years of courses leading to a bachelor of science in nursing degree from Samuel Merritt University.[14]
Undergraduate students can participate in one of six bachelor's to master's degree programs, which allow students to earn an undergraduate and a graduate degree in five years instead of six. The five-year programs include BA/MBA, BA/MA Interdisciplinary Computer Science, BA/MA/Teaching Credential Education, BA/MA Infant Mental Health, BA/MA Mathematics, and BA/MPP.[15]
In the 2011-12 academic year, the student:faculty ratio at Mills is 11:1, with an average class size of 14 students. The college has 203 full-time and part-time faculty members. More than 25% of Mills faculty members are people of color, and more than 65% of the full-time faculty are women.[16][12]
Mills graduate programs for women and men include studio art (MFA), book art (MFA), business (MBA), interdisciplinary computer science (MA and post-bac), creative writing (MFA), dance (MA and MFA), education (MA, EdD, and credentials), English (MA), infant mental health (MA), music (MA and MFA), pre-med (post-bac), and public policy (MPP).[17] The most popular graduate programs for the 2011-12 academic year at Mills are education, MBA, English, pre-med, music, and public policy.[12]
Mills is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The college follows a semester system, with fall semester commencing in late August and ending in December, and spring quarter beginning in mid-January ending in May.[18]
Rankings and admissions
In 2011, U.S. News & World Report ranked Mills fifth overall among colleges and universities in the West and seventh in the West in "Great Schools, Great Prices," which evaluated the quality of institutions' academics against the cost of attendance.[1] The Princeton Review ranked Mills as one of the Best 376 Colleges in the nation in 2011.[19] Washington Monthly named Mills #27 among the top master's universities in the country based on research, service, and social mobility.[20]
In recent years, Mills College has been recognized for its sustainability efforts on campus. The Princeton Review ranked it one of the top "green" colleges in the U.S.[3]. Sierra, the Sierra Club magazine, ranked the college as one of "America's Coolest" green schools. [21]
For the 2011–12 academic year, Mills student body totalled 1,555 students, with 941 undergraduate women and 614 graduate men and women. Forty-three states are represented in the student body, and international students from 15 different countries attend the college. Forty-two percent of the undergrads and 39% of the graduate students are students of color. Sixteen percent of the undergraduate population are "resumer" students who are 23 years or older and returning to college.[12]
Campus
The 135-akre (0,55 km2) campus is located in the foothills of Oakland on the east shore of the San Francisco Bay.[12]
The campus is lovingly described in alumna Jade Snow Wong's book Fifth Chinese Daughter, first published in 1945.
Julia Morgan buildings
Şablon:Prose In 1904, Mills president Susan Mills became interested in architect Julia Morgan because she wished to further the career of a female architect and because Morgan, just beginning her career, charged less than her male counterparts.[22] Morgan designed six buildings for the Mills campus:
- El Campanil, believed to be the first bell tower on a United States college campus[22] and the first reinforced concrete structure on the west coast.[23] Morgan's reputation grew when the tower was unscathed by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.[22] The bells in the tower "were cast for the World's Columbian Exposition (Chicago-1893), and given to Mills by a trustee".[23]
- The Margaret Carnegie Library (1906), named after Andrew Carnegie's daughter.[22]
- The Ming Quong Home for Chinese girls, built in 1924 and purchased by Mills in 1936, which was renamed Alderwood Hall[23] and now houses the Julia Morgan School for Girls[22] (independent of the College).
- The Student Union (1916)[22]
- Kapiolani Cottage, which has served as an infirmary, faculty housing, and administration offices.[22][23]
- Mills's original gymnasium and pool, which have been replaced by the Tea Shop and Suzanne Adams Plaza.[22]
Mills Hall
Designed in 1869 by S. C. Bugbee & Son,[24] Mills Hall became the College's new home when it moved from Benicia to Oakland in 1871. Mills Hall is "a long, four-story building with a high central observatory. The mansarded structure, which provided homes for faculty and students as well as classrooms and dining halls, long was considered the most beautiful educational building in the state".[25] Mills Hall is a California Historical Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.[25]
Music
The Music Program at Mills is noted for being at the forefront of experimental music study and composition. Well-known composer Luciano Berio was on the music faculty of Mills in 1962-1964, and in 1966 Pauline Oliveros became the first director of the Tape Music Center (later the Center for Contemporary Music),[26] where she composed her electronic works "Alien Bog" and "Beautiful Soop". Morton Subotnick, later a member of the faculty, received his master's degree from Mills, studying composition with Leon Kirchner and Darius Milhaud. Laurie Anderson, Dave Brubeck, Phil Lesh, and Steve Reich attended the program, as well as the famous synthesizer designer Don Buchla. Terry Riley taught at Mills starting in the early 1970s. Avant-garde jazz pioneer Anthony Braxton has taught at Mills on an intermittent basis since the 1970s. Lou Harrison, Pandit Pran Nath, Iannis Xenakis, Alvin Curran, Anthony Braxton, Gordon Mumma, Frederic Rzewski, Fred Frith, and many others have all taught music at Mills.
Since 1976, the Center for Contemporary Music (CCM) has emphasized experimental methods in contemporary music and its allied arts and sciences. CCM maintains a variety of electronic equipment, instruments and studios, provides instruction and technical assistance, and archives audio recordings. The Center also performs a wide variety of community services in the arts, including public concerts and lecture series, informational and technical assistance, and artist residencies. Maggi Payne and Chris Brown are presently co-directors of CCM. Payne is a composer, performer, interdisciplinary artist, and recording engineer. Brown is an instrument builder, a pianist, and a composer.[27]
Campus community
Ten different on-campus living options are available at Mills, including traditional residence halls, a housing cooperative, family housing, and apartment living.[28] In the Mediterranean-inspired residence halls, students enjoy single rooms, the occasional California sleeping porch, and common areas outfitted with antique furniture and grand pianos.[29]
There are more than 50 organizations and clubs for students to join, such as Mills Art History Society, Asian Pacific Islander Sisterhood Allliance, Black Women’s Collective, Esoteric Video Game Club, Indigeneous Women's Alliance, Mills Earth C.O.R.P.S., Mills Sailing Club, Model United Nations, Mujeres Unidas, Multifaith @ Mills, and Studio Art Collective. Some groups meet to share a hobby or interest, while others are motivated to inspire change. If students can’t find a club that appeals to them, they can create a new one.[30]
Throughout the academic year, there are many events to attend on campus, many of which are open to the public. Events range from art exhibitions at the Mills College Art Museum, to concerts and dance performances, to the Fetish Ball and the Black & White Ball, to swim meets, readings, forums, lectures, and conferences on sustainable business. [31] With the college’s intimate size and setting, students have opportunities to help arrange events and meet guest speakers.
As a place of ideas and expression, Mills College attracts speakers from around the world. Adding to the legacy of such notable past speakers as Ansel Adams and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., recent visitors to Mills have included first female speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Isabel Allende, US Senator Barbara Boxer, Chelsea Clinton, Marian Wright Edelman, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Dolores Huerta, Sally Ride, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Gloria Steinem, Helen Thomas, and Helen Zia.
Athletics
Mills students compete in seven intercollegiate sports — cross country, rowing, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, and volleyball[32] — as members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III[33] and the California Pacific Conference of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).[32] The Mills College mascot is the Cyclone and the school colors are blue, gold, and white.[32] The Director of Athletics is Themy Adachi.[32]
