Edmondson-Miller Endowed Chair of Insurance & Financial Services
This endowed fund was established in 1992 by gifts from State Farm Insurance, Country Financial and other donors to create an endowed chair in insurance and financial services. The name was changed in 2002 from Illinois Insurance & Financial Services Endowed Professor to the Edmondson-Miller Endowed Chair of Insurance & Financial Services in honor of Duane Miller and Jay Edmondson. Duane and Jay were instrumental in the early establishment of the Center for Insurance and Financial Services (aka Katie School of Insurance).
