Miles Huff
Classification: Senior
Major: Psychology
Hometown: Harlan, Ky

Miles Huff is a psychology major from Harlan, Kentucky. Miles is the only child of Rodney and Debbie Huff. Rodney is a retired coal minor and Debbie is in customer service banking. Miles explains that his hometown of Harlan is smaller than Cleveland and it taught him to “care about people.”

Miles heard about Lee through one of his friends. He wanted a smaller private Christian School, something that would emulate the small-town, family atmosphere that he had come from. Miles explains that Lee is “comfortable enough to call home, but challenging enough to find who I am. It is a mix of equilibrium and disequilibrium.”

While at Lee, Miles has been involved in Psi Chi, the psychology club and highly involved in the Student Leadership Council (SLC). He says, “It taught me a lot about myself and serving others.” Miles has also been a part of the Greek scene at Lee University. These are social service clubs that minister to the community and provide on-campus events. As a member of Theta Delta Kappa and a big brother for Omega Alpha Phi, Miles shares that he has learned that “family is not limited to blood.”

Miles is a senior graduating in May. He then plans to attend graduate-school. His future ambitions are to focus academically on male development and to work with teenage boys in a mentorship role. He plans to target regions of the country that have not been reached before. Because although there have been multiple inner-city mentorship programs, he feels the more rural areas, specifically regions in Appalachia, have been overlooked.
