Barb Miller grew up on the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation and is an enrolled member of the Mohican Nation. Miller has committed her professional career to equity, diversity and inclusivity with 15 years of experience at two University of Wisconsin institutions where she worked to elevate recruitment, retention and graduation of "students of promise" (some label "at risk" or "disadvantaged") by serving as a counselor, advisor, recruitment specialist and American Indian Student Service Coordinator. She has also served as a K-12 Guidance Counselor for two years. Miller takes great pride in recently returning to serve at her alma mater. She earned both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from UW-Stout and believes the applied learning and unique majors with university priorities focused on sustainability, diversity and experiential learning are distinct with significant opportunities for students to succeed academically to advance meaningful career options.

Miller also served as a Federal Department of Education Trainer with educators throughout the country and often serves as a consultant regarding multicultural and American Indian educational issues.
