Cindy Millard

Instructor, Business and Human Resources, COB

Cindy Millard has been a guiding light to shine on what is possible by progression through education. Millard earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education from MSUB and has also served MSUB in various departments throughout the years. She has also furthered her education with national credentials as a Senior Professional in Human Resources and Society of Human Resource Managers – Senior Certified Professional. This strong foundation propelled her into a career in human resources, and she served in a systemwide capacity as the Employee Benefits and Wellness Coordinator for the Montana University System. Her drive for helping others led her back to MSUB, where she has served since 2012.

As a part-time instructor, Millard goes above and beyond the call of duty by providing students opportunities for networking, internships, and potential work placement within Human Resources. Her true calling is helping students and teaching. She is always willing and available to mentor students and constantly seeks new research to incorporate into her classes to strengthen students’ academic development. She also spends countless hours providing free professional development to students.

This semester Millard began the journey from faculty to student advising. She has said that advising might be her favorite part about teaching because in this capacity she gets to know students individually and can truly learn their career aspirations. These are the benefits Millard enjoys working at a smaller institution. It is all about the students.

Millard has brought a wealth of professional connections to the City College business department, expanding and strengthening the community and professional network. She also serves as the local College Relations Chair for the Yellowstone Valley Chapter Society for Human Resource Management. These factors amplify how much of an asset she is to City College, MSUB, and the broader community, and she is incredibly deserving of this award.
