Milliron graduated from Edison College in 1989, where he was president of the student body, a district coordinator in the Florida Junior/Community Colleges Student Government Association, editor of the college newspaper, and a member of the Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. While pursuing a degree in journalism at the University of Florida, he was a staff writer for The Communigator alumni magazine and twice received UF's President's Award for outstanding service to the university and community.

"Edison College provided me the foundation I needed to become a successful journalist and civic leader. The time and commitment faculty and staff afforded me outside the classroom was priceless in helping me become the successful person I am today. The professors truly take a vested interest in ensuring the success of every student that comes into their classroom. I will be eternally grateful to the late Marilyn R. McSheehy, the college's long-time student activities coordinator, for she had the single most impact on my success at Edison."
