HELEN SULLIVAN MILLER Helen Sullivan Miller, historian and educator, was born on March 29, 1917, in Atlanta, Ga. She was a graduate of the School of Nursing, Yale University; Medical College of Virginia; School of Midwifery, Tuskegee Institute; and the School of Nursing, University Hospital, Augusta, Ga. Her postmaster’s work included study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

At North Carolina Central University, Mrs. Miller served as chairman of the Department of Nursing from 1957-1977 and as an associate professor of Nursing Research from 1977 until her retirement in 1982.

She held many positions prior to faculty appointments. Some of them include staff nurse for the Georgia Department of Public Health in Atlanta; area supervisor for maternal and child health, Georgia Department of Health; administrative nurse, U.S. Army Nurse Corps, at Camp McCoy, Philadelphia; and public health coordinator at Florida A&M University.

She was the first African-American to receive a gubernatorial appointment to the North Carolina Board of Nursing, and she was the first African-American to be elected president of District Eleven of the North Carolina Nurses Association. Other memberships included National Council of Negro Women, National League for Nursing, National Black Nurses

Association, and Chi Eta Phi Sorority Inc., to mention a few in her long list of memberships and appointments.

She was the first in North Carolina to receive the Mary Mahoney Award from the American Nurses Association. In 1978, she was the recipient of the Distinguished Alumnae Award from her alma mater, Yale University School of Nursing. From 1968 to 1970, she served as the National President of Chi Eta Phi Sorority Inc. Other recognitions include Who’s Who Among Black Americans; Personalities of the South, Leaders and Organizers; The World Who’s Who of Women; Highlights in Nursing in North Carolina; Abstracts of Nursing Research in the South; Contributions of Black Women to America: 1976-1977; and Who’s Who of American Women.

A noted historian, Mrs. Miller wrote “The History of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc.,” “Mary Eliza Mahoney: America’s First Black Professional Nurse,” “Contemporary Minority Leaders in Nursing” and numerous articles.

One of the major contentions of Helen Miller, both as a private citizen and as a noted nurse historian, was that African-Americans must preserve their past in order to ensure their future. Mrs. Miller died in 2003 at the age of 86.

HISTORY OF THE HELEN S. MILLER LECTURESHIP The Helen S. Miller Lectureship was established at NCCU in 1996 by Dr. Evelyn Wicker to carry on Miller’s legacy of excellence in nursing. The lectureship honors and recognizes Mrs. Miller’s indelible imprint on the profession in North Carolina, as well as nationally and internationally.

The purpose of the lectureship is first to provide an opportunity and a stage for an African-American nursing scholar to resent contemporary issues that will provoke thought an generate dialogue among nursing students and practicing nurses.

Second, it raises money for a scholarship for nursing students at NCCU, with the ultimate goal of creating a Helen S. Miller Endowment. The lectureship also promotes North Carolina Central University throughout the nursing community.

The Helen S. Miller Lectureship has been a collaborative effort between the Lincoln Hospital School of Nursing Alumni Association; Chi Eta Phi Inc., Pi Chapter; the NCCU Nursing Alumni Association, and the Central Carolina Black Nurses Council Inc. The lectureship fundraising categories reflect the various roles Mrs. Miller played during her nursing career: Pioneer, $1,000 or above; Researcher, $500-$999; Role Model, $250-$499; and Practitioner, $100-$249. An outstanding NCCU Nursing Alumni Award has also been established in the name of Mrs. Miller and is awarded annually.
