ager
Miller served his country during Desert
Storm and feels that his experience in the
military has taught him how to work with
people to achieve a goal.
Miller wants to build a solid foundation
and rebuild stronger relationships between
students and the faculty. Miller also wants to
work hand in hand with the students and see a
joining of the body, mind, and soul.
An illustration of this is Gardner-Webb
itself as the skin, the faculty/administration as
the mind seeking to share knowledge, and the
students as the soul who drive the whole
learning process.
He wants a total involvement in all areas.
To achieve this. Miller promises to work
closely with students on a social and political
level.
Unity is a very important issue to Miller
in this election. He feels that you must have
unity among Student Government officers,
the student body, the faculty, and the adminis
tration in order to accomplish anything.
He also cites his experience with athlet
ics at Gardner-Webb as a positive influence in
learning how to work with people.
Miller will be able to serve a full term if
elected president.
