Millsaps College Professor
of English Greg Miller has been selected as Mississippi's 2003 Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Professor of the Year.
The Council for Advancement
and Support of Education (CASE), which administers the Carnegie
Foundation program, released the news earlier this semester. The
national awards were created in 1981 to recognize excellence in
undergraduate teaching and mentoring.
Dr. Greg Miller, a Kentucky
native, received his doctorate in English from the University of
California, Berkeley, where he wrote his dissertation on the poetry
of George Herbert and Emily Dickinson. His primary research interest
is in seventeenth-century British literature and church history.
Dr. Miller received his M.A. in English and Creative Writing from
Stanford University and his B.A. in French Literature and Political
Science from Vanderbilt University. He was a writing fellow at the
Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown in 1994-5 and at the Yaddo
and MacDowell Colonies in 1999-2000, and his poems have appeared
in The Paris Review, The Chicago Review, The Threepenny Review,
Verse, Agni, and other journals.
This is the second year
running in which a Millsaps College professor has won this prestigious
award. Professor of History Bob McElvaine was selected as Mississippi's
2002 Professor of the Year.
