There is no more opportune time to be in Higher Education than the present. We face significant forces of change and transformation; these bring momentous responsibilities and exciting opportunities to mold the landscape and shape a vibrant higher education system that is relevant, responsive, and reformist in its goals and its methods. This is the trajectory that Dr. Mili has naturally evolved towards during her career.
In every step of the journey, she created a vision shaped by the times and fit to the unique potentials of the people and places where she has worked. She has successfully led others to realize that vision with passion, energy, and a full trust in the collective intelligence and capacity of her colleagues. From her many contributions at Oakland University in Michigan - growing their Computer Science Department, starting a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, creating a multidisciplinary Biomedical Engineering major that attracted many more women students than did the traditional engineering degrees - to her transformative efforts as co-founder of the Purdue Polytechnic Incubator and Institute and now as Director of the TransSTEM Center headquartered at Purdue, Dr. Mili is oriented toward productive change and to equipping students with the skills and the mindset they need to meet the technological and social demands of the world they will enter.
