Associate Vice
Chancellor - Academic Planning
and Resources Retires After 40 Years of Service
December 11, 2006
After 40 years of service to UC San Diego, David
R. Miller, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering
and Associate Vice Chancellor - Academic Planning
and Resources, has announced his intention to retire
effective Dec. 31. Miller will continue to serve in
his administrative position on recall status until
the conclusion of the current academic year.
As associate vice chancellor, Miller's responsibilities
include the planning and coordination of new academic
programs and initiatives, policy development, instructional
technology, and resource allocations of faculty positions,
space, and general campus capital planning and operating
budgets. He is also the university administrator charged
with overseeing the Preuss School, Media Services,
and Academic Computing Services (ACS).
In his four decades at UCSD, David has made immeasurable
contributions
to the growth and distinction of our campus, said
Marsha Chandler, Senior Vice Chancellor of Academic
Affairs in a prepared statement. Indeed, he is one
of a small number of individuals who have had such
an enormously positive impact on UCSD, she said. In
addition to his nine years of service as Associate
Vice Chancellor, Miller has provided leadership as
chair of the department of applied mechanics and engineering
sciences (now entitled mechanical and aerospace engineering),
acting dean of the School of Engineering, associate
dean of the School of Engineering, and Acting Senior
Vice Chancellor —
Academic Affairs. His commitment to students has been
unwavering, Chandler said. He has served as a thesis
advisor and mentor to numerous graduate students and
postdoctoral scholars and was one of the first recipients
of the Academic Senate's Distinguished Teaching Award.
Miller will return to the classroom as a Professor
Emeritus upon his retirement.
