Bio/Vitae

As a professor in the English department, Deborah Miller Fox teaches creative writing, composition and literature.  She regularly advises the Literary Arts Magazine staff and directs the annual creative writing contests.  In addition to these responsibilities, Professor Miller Fox is director of Liberal Arts Seminar.  Her publication credentials include "Taking Up Residence", a literary essay that appeared in Home Again: Essays and Memoirs of Indiana, and "The Way to Come and Go", a miniature narrative that appeared in David Liverett's illustrated anthology, Just Beyond a Passage.

Professor Miller Fox is a faculty member within the Department of English at Anderson University. The Department of English offers excellent preparation for students interested in English for the sake of general humanities or as a tool for pre-professional preparation. Introductory courses develop necessary skills for critical reading, analytical thinking, and literary interpretation. Literature courses—with a balance of American, British, and world offerings—develop a dialogue between the past and present across political, cultural, and ideological barriers. Literature, as it reflects human activity, helps us understand human values, motives, ourselves and society.

As an outgrowth of its courses in upper-division writing, the Department of English offers a major and a minor in writing, both of which are designed to complement any major on campus by offering the opportunity to pursue advanced training in expository, argumentative, non-fiction, and creative writing endeavors. The department also provides opportunities for students to participate in various publications and contests.

The mission of Anderson University is to educate for a life of faith and service in the church and society. This mission is realized through a commitment to teaching excellence and genuine concern for each individual student, and is supported by a faculty commitment to continuous professional development and service to the community.

Anderson University is a private Christian university of 2,750 undergraduate and graduate students in central Indiana. Anderson continues to be recognized as a top Christian college: in 2008, U.S. News and World Report ranked Anderson University among the best colleges and universities in the Midwest for the fourth consecutive year. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, Anderson University offers more than 65 undergraduate majors and graduate programs in business, education, music, nursing and theology. Anderson University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

Anderson University is a part of the CCCU (The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities) and reflects its commitment as a Christian College in all of its academic programs.
