Mike Milliken
mmillike@bates.edu
Manager of Community Wellness and Coordinator of Club Sports
Mike leads the B Well program with a focus on building a campus culture where well-being is accessible, sustainable, and rooted in community. He believes that small, consistent actions – moving regularly, connecting with others, spending time outdoors, and finding moments to recharge – can have a powerful impact on how we feel, work, and live.
Mike brings a background in community health, exercise science, nutrition, and coaching to his work. He is passionate about helping individuals and groups find realistic ways to incorporate well-being into busy lives. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Mike continues to champion movement as one of the most effective tools for improving health, resilience, and quality of life.
Outside of work, Mike enjoys exploring Maine’s outdoors, strength training, mountain biking, skiing, coaching rugby, and spending time with his family
B Well Ambassadors
