Mentor Recognition Programs
Current Mentor Recognition Funds
Mark Miller, Ph.D.
AMSA is proud to announce the formation of a Mentor Recognition fund in honor of Dr. Mark Miller.
Dr. Miller is the definition of passionate. His passion for people inspires us all to think bigger, take a chance and have faith in whatever we do. Dr. Miller has dedicated his life to mentoring students to strive for excellence in all things. He has truly impacted so many lives through his dedication to push students to be their best while caring unconditionally about them. He has served as advisor to numerous graduate students, many of which are current leaders in the meat industry and other important parts of animal agriculture and has developed a nationally recognized meat judging program.
Our goal is to secure a minimum of $100,000 to fully endow this Mentorship fund. We respectfully ask for your consideration in donating to this amazing mentor who has had a lasting impact on the careers of many throughout his teaching career.
Dr. Miller is, without question, one of the greatest mentors in meat science and it is time that we give back to a person who has given so much to many of us. Giving to this mentorship will have a tremendous and lasting impact on not only the future of the meat industry but the leaders of tomorrow.
Continuing the Legacy
Dr. Miller would like to focus the mentorship in the area of supporting student educational events with the priority to Intercollegiate Meat Judging.
