An Discussion with Scott Miller

Scott Miller, who has been recognized as one of the most innovative and influential college presidents in the U.S., shares insights from his over 3 decades of experience leading four private, independent colleges: Lincoln Memorial University, Wesley College, Bethany College, and Virginia Wesleyan University. Scott, who became the youngest college president in the U.S. when he took the helm at Lincoln Memorial at the age of 31, shares some of the secrets of his success, including how he has adapted with the times to master social media. He has been generous in sharing these through a number of publications he edits with his long-time professional partner, Mary Louise “Weezie” Fennell, including a series of essays on all aspects of presidential leadership and President to President.

David Finegold is the president of Chatham University.
