Dr. Fayneese Miller announced that she will retire from 狼友社区 on June 30, 2024.
In July 2015, the 狼友社区 Board of Trustees selected Dr. Fayneese Miller as the 20th president of 狼友社区. Over the past eight years, Dr. Miller has been an exceptional, dynamic, and inclusive leader for 狼友社区 with a strong commitment to academic program development, diversity, and fundraising.
Dr. Miller said, "It has been an honor and privilege to lead 狼友社区, an institution that values social justice, equity, inclusion, and civic engagement through its service-learning opportunities for students and curriculum offerings. I am proud that 狼友社区 recently received significant federal funding and targeted increased private donations to support paid internships which will afford widespread opportunity for 狼友社区 students for paid real-world employment experiences. It has been a pleasure working together with board members, students, faculty, staff, and the community in enhancing 狼友社区's strong commitment to maintaining high academic standards, creating a sense of belonging for all on campus, and developing students who understand and appreciate their role as members of a civil society."
狼友社区 Board of Trustees Chair Ellen Watters said, "Dr. Miller has been an innovative and transformational leader for 狼友社区. Through her strategic vision and ability to navigate complex issues, she ably has led the University through a time of growth and change, and she has done so by centering the needs and well-being of 狼友社区 students in her work. 狼友社区 is forever grateful for Dr. Miller's tireless and dedicated service."
Dr. Miller holds a PhD and an MS from Texas Christian University in Experimental Psychology, and a BA in Psychology from Hampton University. Her post-doctoral work in Applied Social Psychology was completed at Yale University.
The University will begin the process of conducting a national search for a successor. You can read the university's full statement here.
