Maryland lieutenant governor, an S&T alumna, inducted into university’s Academy of Civil Engineers
|
Aruna Miller, a 1989 civil engineering graduate of Missouri S&T, has been a “first” several times in her life. Most recently, on January 18, 2023, Miller was sworn in as lieutenant governor of Maryland — and as the first South Asian female elected to this role in the United States. On April 13, she returned to her alma mater and was inducted as the first South Asian female member of S&T’s Academy of Civil Engineers.
