Character

Miller is a leader on and off the field. Not only is he an active member in the community, but he continues to challenge himself on the field, coming back from a year off that consisted of six surgeries over a 13-month period to lead the team to the 2010 Patriot League regular season title and being named a co-captain for the 2011 season. Off the field he was one of two male soccer players to participate in the veteran leaders program at Colgate and was the only male student-athlete to represent Colgate at the US Naval Leadership Conference. He is the true example of what a student-athlete should be.

Community

Miller is currently volunteering at the Council for Relationships in Philadelphia and is also working as a Field School Fellow for the Madison County Planning Department, where he is working on a greenhouse gas inventory project for the county. In the past he has also worked at his local nature center, helped train youth soccer teams, visited elementary schools to speak about being a student-athlete, and participated in a project to clean and repair old bicycles that were then donated to people who can’t afford cars. He is also a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and visits Hamilton Elementary School for the Adopt-a-Classroom program.
