Dr. Chris Miller

 If you’re reading this, thank you for making Clemson such a unique and special place.

I become emotional when thinking of the collective character of this student body. 

You embrace our institutional values.

You are incredibly bright and are actively engaged in this transformational experience.

You are thoughtful and deliberate in your actions.

You are courageous and brave in the face of adversity and display an unwavering empathy toward one another.

I could not be prouder of your growth and development. Not only academically, but also professionally, personally and spiritually. I wish we could properly quantify that growth from the time you first step foot on this campus, because it would be spectacular.

As an active participant with you on this phase of your life journey, I recognize how privileged I am to be in this position. Seeing the manifestation of your growth is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding aspects of working in higher education.

I see your impact on Clemson every day and look forward to seeing you take what you have learned and apply it to make this world a better place! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey.

Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Student
