Connecticut State Community College: The Inaugural Semester
From the Desk of the President
November 6, 2024
Dear CT State Community,
I am pleased to announce that Troy A. Miller has been named CT State’s new Vice President of Enrollment Management and a member of the college’s Executive Leadership Team. His first day at CT State will be November 29, 2024.
Mr. Miller currently serves as Vice President for Strategic Enrollment Management at the University of Southern Indiana, a public university in Evansville. Previously, he held the role of Vice President for Enrollment Management and Intercollegiate Athletics at Chestnut Hill College, a private Catholic college in Philadelphia. His extensive experience also includes admissions and enrollment leadership roles in the SUNY System with The University at Buffalo, and two Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) within the University of Maryland system.
As Vice President of Enrollment Management, Mr. Miller will oversee enrollment and retention services, financial aid, selective admissions, orientation and student onboarding, international admissions, student success, and admissions operations. He will guide the development and application of enrollment management policies and lead, inspire, and motivate enrollment staff across our institution. His responsibilities also include implementing the college’s strategic enrollment management plan and advancing recruitment, retention, and completion initiatives. I am confident that Mr. Miller will bring a compelling vision to our student-centered institution that complements our mission of open access.
He brings to CT State a wealth of experience and a strong track record in meeting and exceeding enrollment goals. He has led data-driven strategic enrollment planning, engaged campus-wide collaboration, and aligned enrollment initiatives with ambitious institutional goals.
Throughout his career, Mr. Miller has been a collaborative leader, providing strategic direction and organization for the enrollment management divisions he’s been a part of. He has worked closely with academic and administrative leaders to develop institution-wide recruitment and retention initiatives. Additionally, he has facilitated partnerships through articulation agreements and memorandums of understanding with local community colleges and school districts. His experience includes overseeing admissions, registrar services, scholarships, financial aid, summer enrichment programs, and recruitment and communications teams for undergraduate, graduate, and international students.
Mr. Miller is an alumnus of Elizabeth City State University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration. He holds a master’s degree from the New York Institute of Technology and is currently pursuing his doctoral degree at Morgan State University. A United States Army combat veteran, Mr. Miller and his wife, Alla, both New York natives, are proud parents of four daughters.
Please join me in extending a warm CT State and Connecticut welcome to Mr. Miller and his family!
