The department's Miller Lecture Series is designed to bring eminent geographers to Penn State and is a gift to the Department of Geography from the late E. Willard (1915–2002) and Ruby S. [née Skinner] Miller (1911–2003).
Funding to endow the The Miller Lecture and many other department awards was donated from the estate of Ruby Miller.

The Miller Lecture event is typically held in the spring semester during Coffee Hour.
