Dean's Office

As Assistant Dean for Development in the College of Education, Karl Miller is responsible for securing major endowment gifts, maintaining beneficial relationships with donors and coordinating activities and events that facilitate fundraising. Working closely with the College's dean, faculty and advisory council, as well as with The University of Texas at Austin's administration, resource development office and alumni organization, Miller organizes and manages outreach efforts that communicate the College's successes and promote its mission and projects. The assistant dean's strategic planning and relationship-building make many faculty members' research possible and build the human and financial resources of the College.
