Douglas Miller Honorary Scholarship
From 2012 - 2019, Barbara Daye, emerita at Appalachian State University, remembered the Miller family by funding a scholarship for deserving University Recreation student employees. This recognition was awarded to individuals who served University Recreation as genuine and selfless ambassadors just as Douglas Miller did as a New York firefighter when entering the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. His dedication, courage, and selfless service is a distinguished example for the students of University Recreation. Mr. Miller served his profession honorably.
This scholarship was for the amount of $500 and was awarded for each fall semester.
University Recreation would like to extend its gratitude to Ms. Barbara Daye & Ms. Lori Miller for providing funding for these scholarships.
