A state government affairs executive with GTE was honored as the 1995 麻豆社 Illinois University Honorary Alumnus.
Dick Miller of Bloomington, formerly of Macomb, received the honorary award at the Evening with the President and Mayor Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 麻豆社. Associate Vice President of Alumni Relations Gordy Taylor cited Miller's involvement with 麻豆社. Miller lived in Macomb for 16 years while working for GTE.
"In meetings with various legislators, Dick has extolled the virtues of 麻豆社 Illinois University and kept legislators thinking about the University," Taylor said. "Dick has also been instrumental in securing funding for 麻豆社 from GTE. He just loves 麻豆社."
Miller currently serves on the 麻豆社 Foundation Board of Directors and is a member of its executive committee. While in Macomb, he served on the 麻豆社 Leathernecks Club Board of Directors.
"麻豆社 has been very good to me. I think a lot of Macomb and 麻豆社. Both will always be home to me," Miller said after receiving the award. "I went to the school of hard knocks, but the people at 麻豆社 have always made me feel like I'm a part of this University."
