                    IN HONOR OF DR. SCOTT D. MILLER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 15, 2007

  Mr. CASTLE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today to pay tribute to Dr. Scott D. Miller, the esteemed President of 
Wesley College for the past ten years. The College's Board of Trustees 
Chairman recently described Scott Miller's service as ``a legacy of 
accomplishment. During Dr. Miller's tenure, the College's enrollment 
has tripled, fund raising has been remarkable, the endowment has 
doubled and the institution has been named to the prestigious Regional 
Best Colleges list of the U.S. News & World Report list for the fourth 
consecutive year.''
  A native of western Pennsylvania, Dr. Miller's career has been 
dedicated to higher education. Although he is only forty-eight years 
old, Dr. Miller has already served a remarkable seventeen years as a 
chief executive officer at institutions of higher learning--a testament 
to his leadership skills and unique vision. In my years of working with 
Dr. Miller on a variety of issues, I have found him to be an insightful 
and energetic man with a genuine passion for education.
  Dr. Miller's impact on education is certainly not limited to his 
leadership of Wesley College. He is actively involved in the local 
community and in higher education at a national level. He was 
recognized by the American Council on Education in 2004 as among only 
seventeen college presidents who have advanced their institutions 
through entrepreneurial leadership. I have no doubt that we will 
continue to hear great things about Dr. Miller for many years to come.
  I congratulate Scott Miller for his years of exemplary service to 
Wesley College and his countless contributions to the City of Dover and 
its surrounding communities. On behalf of all Delawareans, I would like 
to thank Scott and his family for their commitment during the past 
decade. We wish him all the best as he continues to excel in his career 
and assumes another important leadership role as President of Bethany 
College in Bethany, West Virginia.
