Mission statement
The University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs, following Jefferson's vision of the University's public service mission, is a leading public policy institution that serves as a national meeting place where engaged citizens, scholars, students, media representatives, and government officials gather in a spirit of nonpartisan consensus to research, reflect, and report on issues of national importance to the governance of the United States, with special attention to the central role and history of the presidency.[4]
Expansion plans
The Miller Center is currently[when?] planning and raising funds for a major expansion that would add meeting and office space, as well as a new Virginia Presidential Research Library[5]. Beginning in 2010, the center's programming airs on Delta Airlines flights[6].
Knight Challenge winner
In 2011, the Miller Center was awarded a $165,000 award to allow Waldo Jaquith to create new ways for citizens to interface with state code. [7]
