At the recent annual meetings of the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE), and the Council of Academic Deans from Research Education Institutions (CADREI), held in Orlando at the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel and conference center, Dean Miller took up the gavel as both Chair of the AACTE Board of Directors, and President of CADREI.  For the past year Dean Miller has served as Incoming Chair for AACTE and Incoming President of CADREI, the two most important national organizations for professional educators and deans of education.  Both positions are elected offices, and her selection by her peers and colleagues is a testimony to the Dean’s position and influence on the national education scene.  Her dedicated work within both organizations has not only earned her the respect of her colleagues but elevated CESS to its place as one of the leaders among Colleges of Education in the country.
