In Loving Memory

Datakey Consulting, founded by Ted Miller in 2004, recently estab-lished this scholarship in honor of Ted Miller’s mom, Doris Metzger Miller. Doris was a remarkable, colorful, and extremely bright woman who grew up quite poor during the Great Depression in Rochester, NY. With her passing, Ted has had many moments of reflection and gratitude for the strong foundation she has given him. Ted feels her greatest contribution as an individual was her encouragement of others, especially women, to believe in them-selves enough to further their pursuits in education. Doris had an insatiable desire to learn and she continued to learn well after achieving her Ph.D.

She was a college professor, a published researcher, and an instructional designer When Ted opened his company in 2004, she was instrumental in creating the company name, DataKey She firmly believed individuals should have the freedom to exercise their intellectual curiosity Ted believes that it is because of his mother that education has played a key role in his life The right recipient for this award should possess the same passion for learning, education and growth.
