SCHOLAR PROFILE
lydia miller | Class of 2023
Sister Thérèse Higgins Sisters of St. Joseph Merit Scholarship
Lydia Miller ’23 has an impressive resume: Pride Guide, Orientation Leader, Peer Tutor, Regis College Honors Program, Bethany Hill Service Group, member of the Regis Dance Company and cross-country team—all while achieving a 4.0 GPA as an undergraduate in the Young School of Nursing.
Although she was initially drawn to Regis for its distinguished, award-winning nursing program, Miller quickly learned the university had much more to offer.
“During my first week at Regis, a member of the Center for Ministry and Service stated that college is a time for growth and development as a whole person, in addition to our academic journey,” says Miller, who took this to heart. “Throughout my first year, I developed into a
stronger leader while continuing to discover who I am as an individual.”
Miller put those leadership skills to good use outside of the classroom, volunteering at
Bethany Hill Place—an organization that provides safe and affordable housing to families in need— as a reading and homework tutor for children. “This experience is meaningful to me because I am becoming an active member of the children’s lives,” says Miller. “It is so important to be able to build meaningful relationships and offer some stability to them.”
Miller was honored to receive the Sister Thérèse Higgins Sisters of St. Joseph Merit Scholarship that allowed her to pursue her passion of becoming a nurse. “My scholarship motivated me to succeed and become a nurse that positively impacts others, just as my life has been positively impacted by Regis."
After graduating in May 2023, Miller hopes to further her education and become a nurse practitioner with a doctorate degree.
“Attending Regis has helped me grow holistically, and my experiences here have molded me into the young lady I am today," Miller shares. “Thank you to my donors for giving me an opportunity that I will carry with me every day in my career and adult life."
