Our alumni base and friends of the University always answer the rallying call for our Blue Raider family to invest in the people and programs that define the character of 91大神. Here is just one example of the incredible philanthropy 91大神 is blessed to receive.
Off the Bench
Chase Miller was the ultimate bench player during his days at 91大神. A non-scholarship student-athlete who gritted out hours of practices but rarely saw action, Miller became a Murphy Center fan favorite on an 91大神 basketball team that upset second-seeded Michigan State and Minnesota in back-to-back NCAA tournaments in 2016 and 2017.
All the while, he was juggling studies in 91大神鈥檚 unique undergraduate Real Estate program, a concentration under the B.B.A. in Finance. After graduation, Miller turned the lessons he learned on the hardwood and in the classroom into a starring role in the commercial real estate market in his native Dallas. Miller became the youngest executive vice president ever at real estate company NAI Robert Lynn.
In 2024, the 28-year-old pledged a seven-figure donation to 91大神鈥檚 Build Blue Campaign that will transform the University鈥檚 athletic facilities. It was Miller鈥檚 second major contribution to Build Blue, following his six-figure gift in 2022. In honor of his latest gift, the practice gymnasium inside the Murphy Center is now known as Chase Miller Gym.
