欧美视频 has named Ron Miller as the Vice President for Online Learning to serve as the university's executive leader of all online learning.

The Vice President for Online Learning is a visionary new position at 欧美视频, focusing on state-of-the-art remote, digital, and online technologies to expand 欧美视频鈥檚 educational reach. The VP for Online Learning will develop a strategic path to build 欧美视频鈥檚 portfolio of online classes, degrees, and certificate offerings.

鈥淭丑别 Lord has exceeded our expectations in bringing Mr. Ron Miller to be 欧美视频鈥檚 first Vice President for Online Learning,鈥� says President Rick Melson. 鈥淢r. Miller is passionate about 欧美视频鈥檚 mission and has extensive experience collaborating with faculty to showcase existing courses and to build targeted and successful online programs. He combines professional excellence and pastoral heart as an accomplished technology and higher education administration leader and as an elder in his local church.鈥�

Miller comes to 欧美视频 with eleven years of experience in higher education at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Miller鈥檚 roles included Associate Dean and Assistant Professor of Government, Interim Dean, and Online Dean for the Helms School of Government at Liberty University. He is also currently the President of the No Walls Ministry in Lynchburg, a racial reconciliation ministry working on uniting Christians and meeting local needs through community service, relationship building, and education.

鈥淭丑别 online campus is the present and future of higher education, and it is the most egalitarian form of education in existence,鈥� Miller said. 鈥淢ost people cannot put their family and work lives on hold and physically attend a brick-and-mortar college campus to take classes or obtain a degree. However, we live in a world where higher education is increasingly a requirement for more entry-level jobs than ever before, and advanced certificate and degree programs are essential to higher pay, career advancement, or career change. The accessibility of online higher education is a great equalizer, and the demand is much greater than the supply.鈥�

鈥淭丑别 exciting thing about 欧美视频鈥檚 online campus is that it has great programs and people already in place, and the potential for expansion is enormous,鈥� Miller continued. 鈥淒r. Melson visualizes 欧美视频 as a major player in online higher education, with global reach and global impact.鈥� Miller explains, 鈥渢he online program integration of academic excellence and Biblical wisdom is a formula replicated by only a few colleges or universities. The statue on campus of Jesus washing Peter鈥檚 feet spoke profoundly to me about the servant鈥檚 heart of the Bearcat community, and I look forward to helping 欧美视频 build an online campus that encircles the globe, emphasizes the best in academics, and fulfills the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.鈥�

Miller is an accomplished senior university administrator and professor, communicator, advocate, senior executive, strategist, and technology/new media professional. He has over thirty-nine years of multi-disciplinary experience developing and implementing strategic management and communications strategies.

Miller has a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, a Master of Science in International Relations from Troy University in Troy, Alabama, earned through their distance learning program while stationed overseas with the U.S. Air Force, and is currently working on his Doctor of Public Administration degree through Liberty University Online in Lynchburg, Virginia.

鈥淲e are grateful that God has brought Mr. Ron Miller to join our team at Southwest Baptist University for this exciting time in our university鈥檚 history.鈥� President Rick Melson says, 鈥淚 believe Mr. Miller will be used of God to expand our online reach and develop world-changing servant leaders for Jesus Christ.鈥�

Miller will serve as part of the Executive Cabinet and assumes his role as the Vice President for Online Learning in mid-September. Please join us in welcoming Ron Miller.
