She was named ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Teacher of the Year in 1999 and received the 2002 Women’s Forum Bread and Roses Award for exemplary service in support of women. Her award-winning artwork has been exhibited locally and regionally and is included in numerous public, private, and corporate collections.

Joanne generously committed her estate to benefit The Frank Museum of Art and the Miller and Fisher Galleries at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. The Leslie H. and Ethyl Rose Miller Gallery was established in 2006 in honor of Joanne’s parents and features work by international and local artists, artists-in-residence, faculty and prominent art alumni, enriching student learning across the curriculum. Through her estate gift, Joanne creates possibilities for ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ students and honors Lillian Frank-her lifelong mentor and inspiration-who opened the door of possibilities for Joanne and so many other national and international friends of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½.
To honor her life and impact on countless students and fellow faculty and staff members, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ University and the Department of Art are dedicating the Joanne Miller Stichweh ’67 Gallery adjacent to the Miller art gallery located at 33 Collegeview Avenue. A formal dedication ceremony will be held in person once the University is permitted to host in-person larger events.
