Nursing Professor Wins Award
Miami Dade College nursing professor Constance Miller was recognized as the 2010 winner of Florida Campus Compacts’ Community Engagement Educator Award on Sept. 30.
The event took place at the King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne, Fla.
Miller—a senior associate professor at the MDC School of Nursing—has been at the college for more than 20 years, and has worked on a variety of community service projects. She has a master’s degree from Barry University.
Miller played an integral role in the opening of the MDC and Miami Rescue Mission clinic in 2009.
The Community Engagement Educator Award recognizes people in the three higher education sectors—state universities, state/community colleges, independent colleges and universities—for differences they make to the institutionalization of community engagement.
