Meet student leader Daniel Miller

Nipissing students consistently impress as leaders, in the classroom, on campus and in the community. Recently the university celebrated 25 student leaders at the annual Dave Marshall Leadership Awards. Over the coming months, NU News will introduce each student leader to the wider community with a short article discussing their accomplishments and activities. Today, we are pleased to profile Daniel Miller, who is working toward a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, in the Marketing stream.

Miller has committed himself to positive and substantive opportunities to inspire his fellow student athletes and the student body at large to become more engaged on campus and in the community.

He has volunteered for the North Bay Youth Volleyball Club as both an Assistant Coach for the U17 Boys team, and as a member of the Board of Directors. He has been a Student Mentor for the annual Enterprise Olympics and is committed to involving himself in further mentorship opportunities at Nipissing University through the International Student Mentorship Program, the Athletics Disciplinary Board and as a Peer Educator.

Miller organized an initiative for youth patients spending their Christmas holiday at the North Bay Regional Health Centre. For the youth patients, he organized the distribution of both gifts and tickets to Lakers games, which led to the patients and their family members being invited to watch a Lakers Hockey game in the VIP box at Memorial Gardens. 

A humble and positive individual who displays the natural qualities of a leader on a daily basis, Miller is a two-time Academic All-Canadian, and uses his role as Captain of the Lakers Men’s Volleyball team to encourage and motivate his teammates to enhance their academic and personal skills and help others.

The university community is proud to recognize Daniel Miller with a Dave Marshall Leadership Award in the Campus Category.
