Achieving Social Sustainability in our Projects
Dr. Miller received her bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Saint Thomas University in Colombia. Shortly after graduating, she moved to the United States to pursue her master’s degree in Construction Administration from The University of Oklahoma and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with an emphasis on Construction Engineering from Iowa State University. The results of her research, related to Social Impact in Infrastructural projects, were presented and published in national and international conferences and journals. Dr. Miller’s industry experience included working for Pella Corporation and Lennar Homes. She is currently working at Clemson University for the Construction Management and Science program as a Lecturer and Communication Coordinator. She is a great advocate for minorities and women in the construction industry.
11:00 AM Guided Tour of Converse Historical District
There will be a guided tour coordinated by our esteemed Emeritus Professor Frazier Pajak of Converse’s Historic District, consisting of eight historical markers and five historically designated buildings situated on Converse University grounds. The building ranged in historical nature from 1891 through 1915. In 1889 out of concern for the educational opportunities of young women and the help of Dexter E. Converse, the Spartanburg community superseded a movement that led to the establishment of Converse University. Although the campus is situated within an urban setting surrounded by a more contemporary campus complex, the district preserves the character of the original campus. Architectural styles included within the historical district range from Romanesque Revival to Gothic Revival to Classical Revival and possessed compatibility of scale and material, which led to the certification by the National Registry on November 12, 1975.
