 Dr. Scott Miller President Bethany College Dr. Scott D. Miller, 48, became the 19th president of Bethany College on January 1, 2008. Well known nationally for his contributions to higher education, he was one of 17 presidents nationwide featured in a Kauffman Foundation-funded book entitled The Entrepreneurial College President (American Council on Education/Praeger Series on Higher Education, 2004, pages 132-133). Five years ago, he was featured in the book The Small College Guide to Financial Health (National Association of College & University Business Officers, 2002, pages 126, 192-194). Prior to coming to Bethany Dr. Miller served as the 15th President of Wesley College (1997-2007) in Dover, Delaware. Dr. Miller's tenure as Wesley president was remarkably successful. He built on the institution's rich heritage as Delaware's oldest private college, inspiring record applications, a climbing enrollment, increased alumni participation and giving, a greater minority presence, and ultimately, national recognition for the institution. He led the college community in the creation of From Here to 2010: A Plan for Wesley College, a widely endorsed $84 million blueprint which charts the institutional course for the foreseeable future. Dr. Miller was the 16th president of Lincoln Memorial University (1991-97) in Harrogate, Tennessee. He served as Executive Vice President (1988-91) and Vice President for Development (1984-88) before being named president. He was also an interim public information officer at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and Director of University Relations and Alumni Affairs at the University of Rio Grande (OH). He is also a former newspaper journalist for The Edinboro (PA) Independent, The Buckhannon (WV) Record and The Weston (WV) Independent. Dr. Miller earned his B.A. from West Virginia Wesleyan College, M. A. from the University of Dayton, Ed.S. from Vanderbilt University, and Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from The Union Institute & University. He has also completed post-graduate studies at Ohio University and Harvard University. He is married to the former Annie Cook (a registered nurse), and they have two daughters, Katie, 23, and Ashlee, 20. |
