American Islamic College welcomed Dr. Janet Miller, a counseling psychologist who researches first-year college students’ experiences regarding stress and resilience in order to understand student success, retention, and career development.
Dr. Janet Miller is a counseling psychologist with expertise in mental health and personal development. In addition to her 18+ years at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (as a counselor, Chair of the Student Counselling department and Associate Professor), she is an Adjunct Professor with the University of Calgary, a certified trainer with the Centre for Suicide Prevention (ASIST workshop), and she offers a small private counseling practice in the heart of Calgary. Her research has included tracking cohorts of first-year students through their educational experiences in an effort to understand the factors that help us to thrive and succeed (in and out of school). This work has led to a better understanding of emotional intelligence, career development and the importance of managing stress in our daily lives.
