Martha Miller Center
for Global Communication
The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication houses the departments
of communication and of modern and classical languages, as well as the
offices of international
education and multicultural life. It is also the location for the
director of the college's new Center for Faithful Leadership program,
which is currently under development. The 49,000 square foot building
is named
in honor
of the late Martha Miller,
who
died in
1999
at age
96,
in recognition of a $3 million leadership gift her family made on behalf
of the project through her estate. The project totals $12 million.
 Martha Muller '24 Miller was connected to Hope by generations of experience.
Following her own time at the college as a student, all three of her
children attended as did several of her grandchildren. In the weeks
before her death at age 96, she had been making arrangements with her
family to make a major gift to the college, with her children following
through on her wishes after she had passed away. The building is named
in her honor in recognition of the gift and the family's long-standing
relationship with Hope.
