Dr. Fred Miller III teaches in the Department of Kinesiology, where he also serves as the department chair. He has been teaching and researching exercise science since he graduated from Huntington University in 2000.

Fred finds it a joy to serve as a mentor to his students, helping them to learn, grow, and be prepared for their future career. He wants his students to understand that learning is a lifelong process, and to that end he enjoys encouraging them through their own research projects.
