Programs

American colleges, the custodians of our shared heritage, have a responsibility to transmit that heritage to the next generation.

The Jack Miller Center is dedicated to supporting, cultivating, encouraging and increasing the number of young faculty members who wish to devote their careers to teaching tomorrow's leaders about our national heritage. It does this through:

Summer Institutes:

These institutes give young professors and advanced graduate students an opportunity to come together for two intellectually stimulating weeks. Led by renowned and respected scholars, institute fellows participate in seminars on selected topics in American history, political thought, or economics, and attend workshops that assist them in developing courses, securing tenure, publishing and long-term professional advancement.

Academic Centers:



 The Jack Miller Center supports academic centers on college campuses dedicated to teaching America's founding principles and history through lectures, conferences, workshops, graduate student and post-doctoral fellowships, sponsorship of visiting professors and publishing and archival projects. The Miller Center is supporting a growing national network of centers.

Promoting Awareness:

The Miller Center has a proven communications strategy designed to raise awareness among academic leaders, parents and students about the need to strengthen the teaching of our nation’s history and founding principles at the undergraduate college level. In addition to working directly with the national media regarding the Miller Center, our communications team provides communications support to its faculty partners on colleges campuses focused on local media outlets. Also, we maintain a dynamic website that highlights relevant news and developments from college campuses and allows like-minded scholars to share their ideas in a nationwide electronic network. Dr. Mark Bauerlein of Emory University serves as our blogger.
