“Beverly Miller is exactly the candidate we were looking for to fill our newly created position of chief technology officer at Tusculum College,” said Dr. Nancy B.

That position provided me a wonderful opportunity to assist educators throughout the organization in discovering and utilizing various information technology solutions to ensure student success,” said Miller. “In addition, it would be hard to imagine a more caring and dedicated group of people than those I have been privileged to work alongside during the past 15 years. I wish them much continued success.”
She added, “I believe that instructional technology is an incredible tool in the teaching and learning process. It is also very rewarding to work with administrators to identify and deploy best practices in the informational technology/business side of education. I look forward to working with the students, employees and administrators at Tusculum College to create and utilize a ‘best in class’ information technology program.”
