The ACPA recognizes exemplary students, administrators, educators, and initiatives, during its annual convention. ACPA’s core values of education and development of the whole student and diversity, multicultural competence and human dignity.
Miller’s research agenda focuses on the experiences of minoritized social groups in higher education as well as the institutionalization of equity and diversity efforts in colleges and universities. He is an assistant professor in the Cato College of Education and director of the M.Ed. in Educational Leadership (Higher Education) program.
Miller’s current project focuses on LGBTQ identities in STEM and how LGBTQ college students describe post-secondary STEM learning environments.
“One strand of my research has focused on LGBTQ students with disabilities, and I noticed in a prior study that students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields were having very different experiences of classroom and campus climate than their counterparts majoring in social sciences, humanities, and other professional fields,” he said.
