As Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs, Dr. Miville will provide leadership in faculty development and initiatives that contribute to the strategic priorities of the College. She will be responsible for leading efforts in faculty mentoring and career development; working with leadership and faculty to create and facilitate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives; overseeing the development and review of policies and procedures relating to faculty appointments; and fostering a climate where our faculty can thrive.
Dr. Miville joined Teachers College in 2003 as Associate Professor of Psychology and Education and was promoted to Professor in 2016. She is a leading scholar in her field, authoring two books and over 65 publications focused on social justice and multicultural issues in counseling and psychology.
