His goal is for his students to continue to do good things for society, become a more effective and good citizen and be more aware of issues facing the United States today, after they complete his course.
Miller said that his teaching style is very hands on and involves open discussions and some teamwork. Students must also fulfill a five-hour community service requirement, followed by a one-page reflection, pertaining to the problem they are trying to solve.
Bedard said that he will most likely complete his community service requirement in the upcoming Relay for Life fundraiser event. "Miller likes to engage the students," he said.
"We can't solve all the problems in the world, but we can ameliorate and try to solve some of the smaller problems," Miller said.
Miller served two tours in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, worked on presidential and local campaigns and was involved in community service programs for District Attorney Jeanine Pirro of Westchester County, N.Y.
