George Miller

“Recent graduate, George Miller (right), worked closely with UMF anthropology professor Lucas Kellett (center), on fall dig exploring historic Abbott School.” George Miller graduated Summa cum laude in the University of Maine at Farmington Class of 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Anthropology. A veteran who was interested in studying the hands-on subject he loved, Miller earned highest academic honors as the first in his family to earn a bachelor’s degree. Having recently moved to Maine from Redlands, Calif., Miller was impressed with how quickly UMF processed his application. “I worked with a single individual from start to finish while applying and felt very appreciated and respected. That quality continued into the classroom with excellent teaching by expert faculty who became friends. I loved every bit of it,” said Miller. In addition to restoring a historic home, he plans to continue working on his master’s. “This was a huge personal achievement for me. Someday I will share it with my son to show him he can accomplish anything,” added Miller.
