Mr. Suchanek carries a heavy study load and he maintains an excellent GPA, but also works and volunteers as a Student Director of Sister Cities International. During his involvement in Sister Cities International, he went on student exchanges to Zamość, Poland. During his internship with the Department of State, he took trips from the U.S. Embassy to visit the town square from his exchanges. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, this small town turned into an enormous refugee point of 2.5 million refugees. Michal assisted in raising funds to send directly to the regional organizations, churches, municipal government as well as the only center in the region dedicated to people with disabilities.

Michal has a passion for servicing and providing investment and capital opportunities to our country’s underfunded municipalities and schools. He looks forward to financially constructing new schools and education possibilities for America’s next generation. He also works and volunteers as President of the MMA (mixed martial arts) Club on ASU campus.

Mr. Miller, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TMG and affiliated entities, stated, “I was extremely pleased to honor Michal Suchanek as our eighteenth annual RRM Scholarship awardee.

Michael and I spent 3 hours of in-depth financial and business discussions with real world examples. This is part of my mentorship for ASU RRM Scholarship students.”

Carey School of Business, remarked, "I want to thank Rudy Miller and The Miller Group for their continued support of our deserving students. This year’s recipient of the Rudy Miller Business-Finance Scholarship, Michal Suchanek, is truly an outstanding student dedicated to financial philanthropy and service. I am very pleased that this scholarship will aid Michael as he continues to prepare for a career in banking and public finance."
