The daVid h. miller endoWmenT
David H. Miller (BA’87) died at the age of 39 of lymphoma in 2004. After his death, friends and family established the
David H. Miller Endowment for African Studies at the Elliott School. David Miller believed that Africa’s success will be
ensured by access to higher education for African nationals, and by educating people in the developed world about the
economic, cultural and political challenges in Africa today. As the Miller endowment grows, the fund’s annual earnings
will enrich African studies at GW through part-time professorships, by sponsoring public lecture series and extending
financial support to African students to attend the Elliott School.
“David H. Miller dedicated his career to the advancement of U.S.-African relations. The
David H. Miller Endowment is dedicated to perpetuating his legacy. The Endowment will
sponsor programs to raise local awareness for healthcare, political and economic initiatives
in Africa, fund and support graduate student exchange programs and build African studies
at the Elliott School. The Endowment also seeks to increase awareness of problems in
Africa, and through educational programs, develop sustainable solutions.”
