Veteran Athletics Development Administrator comes to the Heights from Temple University
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Adam Miller has joined the Boston College Athletics Department in the role of Senior Associate AD for Development.
Miller comes to the Heights after serving in a similar capacity at Temple University in Philadelphia, working with Dr. Patrick Kraft, the William V. Campbell Director of Athletics at Boston College. While at Temple, Miller served on the executive team which oversaw the university's 150-person institutional advancement staff which raised over $107 million dollars during the 2020 fiscal year.Â
An innovative athletics development leader, Miller and his Owl Club team achieved the most successful fundraising year in Temple Athletics history: increasing annual giving by nearly 25 percent; increasing the number of donors at the top three levels of giving by 58%; and raising close to $300,000 for the athletics department on "Temple Toast" - the university's day of giving. He also served as the American Athletic Conference's representative to the National Association of Athletic Development Directors (NAADD).
Prior to his time at Temple, Miller spent three years at Memphis as the Associate Athletics Director for Development. While at Memphis, he helped lead the charge on the development team that raised over $50 million in two years and completed a $40 million "Time to Shine" capital campaign for athletics.
As the leader of the Tiger Scholarship Fund, Miller and his team raised $15 million in annual gifts over a two-year period, including the most successful fundraising year for the TSF - $8.2 million - in 2017-18. Miller created the "Sponsor a Student-Athlete" initiative, which generated $1.3 million, including over a half million dollars in new revenue. He and his team launched the Tigers' #NextStep initiative, which generated over $600,000 in additional gifts from existing donors.
From 2014-16, Miller served as the Associate AD for Development at Wisconsin-Green Bay. While at Green Bay, he oversaw all fundraising efforts and was responsible for the two most successful fundraising years in the program's history. He also helped complete a nearly $5 million outdoor athletics facilities campaign and increased by 37% the annual giving to the Phoenix Fund.
Miller began his career at his alma mater, Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Fla., serving as the Director of Development for both the athletics department and Barney Barnett School of Business. As a student-athlete at FSC, Miller was a standout on and off the field. He compiled a 4.0 grade point average in the classroom in his undergraduate and graduate studies while competing for the Mocs' baseball team. He was named the Florida Southern Most Outstanding Scholar Athlete in 2009 and earned the Scholar Athlete Award for baseball in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
In 2009, Miller graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor's degree in business administration. In 2011, he obtained a master's degree in business administration and finished first in a class of 142 students.
