The Honorable Doug Miller, the winner of Texas State University’s Distinguished alumni Award in 2018, visited campus and spoke to Dr. Tom Varacalli’s Introduction to Political Science (PS 2304) class on Thursday, November 11th. Mr. Miller, a former member of the Texas House of Representatives and a former mayor of New Braunfels, talked to the students about the dignity of public service, the pivotal role of character, the need to foster personal relationships and friendships, and the importance of grit and determination. He also encouraged the students to apply for internships.
Charles Isaac, a Political Science student who attended the lecture, said that Miller’s “life lessons and insights… were extremely valuable.”
