Teresa R. Miller '99 Memorial Endowed Scholarship

Teresa Renae Miller, a cherished member of the Tiffin University family, passed away in October 2024. Teresa dedicated 23 years of her life to teaching, mentoring and inspiring students in her field. A passionate educator and a compassionate mentor, she leaves behind an enduring legacy of intellectual curiosity and heartfelt care. Students adored her not only for her engaging teaching style but also for the genuine interest she took in their lives and aspirations. Her office door was always open, welcoming students with a warm smile, ready to guide them academically and personally.

Professor Miller's commitment to Tiffin University was part of a long-standing family tradition. Her father, Jerry Taylor, a proud TU graduate of the Class of 1972, instilled in her a deep appreciation for the institution’s values. This legacy extended through her marriage to Michael Miller, whose parents also furthered their education at Tiffin University. Together, the family exemplified a multi-generational bond with the university, embodying the spirit of loyalty, learning and service that defines the institution.

Throughout her 23 years of service, Professor Miller cultivated a classroom environment where every student felt valued and empowered to succeed. Her passion for education extended beyond the syllabus; she inspired her students to see their potential and nurtured their talents with unwavering dedication. The family of Teresa R. Miller will honor her memory of the countless lives she touched, the knowledge she imparted and the vibrant legacy of dedication she leaves behind with an annual scholarship. Teresa's legacy will continue to inspire future generations of Dragons with the Teresa R. Miller '99 Endowed Scholarship. Teresa was a graduate of Upper Sandusky High School and her husband and son, Marcus, are graduates of Carey High School. This scholarship will be focused on supporting an entering freshman from Upper Sandusky or Carey who demonstrates financial need.
