ROSEMONT, Ill. – National Dairy Council’s Dr. Greg Miller, who serves as chief science officer, Global Dairy Platform’s nutrition sector lead, and special counsel to the CEO on global nutrition affairs, has been recognized with four prestigious awards and honors.
Miller has been synonymous with dairy science and nutrition since joining National Dairy Council in 1992 on behalf of America’s dairy farmers. His contributions have been recognized both within and outside of the dairy industry.
Miller graduated in 1978 from Michigan State University with a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and in 1982 earned a master’s in nutrition (toxicology) from Pennsylvania State University. In 1986, he received a Ph.D. in nutrition (toxicology) from Penn State.

Miller also is being inducted into the ASN and ASN Foundation Class of 2022 Fellows, one of just 14 receiving this honor. To be inducted as a Fellow of the Society is the highest honor ASN bestows, recognizing individuals for significant discoveries and distinguished careers in the field of nutrition. Miller is recognized for having a significant impact in nutrition and on his colleagues.
In addition, his alma mater also is celebrating Miller, presenting him with the 2022 Penn State Graduate School Alumni Society Lifetime Achievement Award.
