University News | June 6, 2026
Virginia Wesleyan University President Scott D. Miller was recognized today with a 2025 Virginia C-Suite Award by Virginia Business magazine during a luncheon ceremony at The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. The prestigious honor celebrates top executive leaders across the Commonwealth who exemplify integrity, vision, company performance, and community engagement.
President Miller is one of only three honorees in the Higher Education category. His transformative leadership has positioned Virginia Wesleyan as a model of academic innovation and institutional growth. Under his direction, VWU has launched seven new master’s programs, expanded continuing education through its Global Campus, and established the Jane P. Batten and David R. Black School for International Studies in Tokyo. He also played a pivotal role in bringing the new Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art to VWU’s campus, scheduled to open in 2026.
“I am deeply honored to be recognized among Virginia’s distinguished leaders,” said Dr. Miller. “This award reflects the shared commitment of the entire Virginia Wesleyan community to excellence, innovation, and service.”
The Virginia C-Suite Awards recognize executives across sectors—public, private, nonprofit, and higher education—who inspire results and empower those around them.
“Our 2025 winners are trendsetters who not only achieve remarkable results, but also elevate those they lead,” said Richard Foster, Associate Publisher and Editor of Virginia Business, who presented the award.
Honorees will be featured in the June issue of Virginia Business and on VirginiaBusiness.com. A photo from today’s event features Dr. Miller with Mr. Foster during the awards celebration.
