About the Opportuunity

This award was created by Harris Miller and Deborah A. Khan to support undergraduate students participating in study, internships, or research in Europe. A native of Pittsburgh, Miller received his BA from Pitt and his MPhil from Yale. He spent his career in public policy work, working in Washington D.C. for the Carter Administration and on Capitol Hill for Congressman Ron Mazzoli. Miller was a staunch advocate of educational opportunities and travel; the award commemorates those loves.
