In Dr. Persico’s words: “Alliant should serve as a beacon to students interested in LGBT issues in psychology, organizations and education. Alliant’s curriculum is inclusive, its faculty is diverse, and its mission is one of human rights and social justice. Back in the 1970s, Alliant was at the forefront in the inclusion of sexual orientation within its non-discrimination clause and in establishing a safe and supportive climate for LGBT students. In the late 1980s, it quietly implemented domestic partner benefits for LGBT faculty and staff. In its passionate commitment to multiculturalism, Alliant has always included sexual orientation as a key component.  This award will serve to further support LGBT contributions made by Alliant’s students."

In memory of Ferne and her dedication to psychology, her parents Dr. Edward and Mrs. Leslea Miller, other family members and friends established the Ferne Miller Memorial Research Fund. Mrs. Miller passed away in 2020 and Dr. Miller passed away in 2021.
