Ferrari Award for Distinguished University Service and Leadership

The Michael R. Ferrari Award for Distinguished University Service and Leadership

The Ferrari Award was established by the Texas Christian University Board of Trustees to honor Dr. Michael R. Ferrari for his leadership as TCU’s ninth chancellor. Chancellor Emeritus Ferrari led TCU from July 1998 through May 2003. He held the faculty rank as Professor of Management at TCU and was cited for his efforts to involve the Fort Worth community in the life of the University through the TCU Commission on the Future. His academic research was focused on strategic planning in higher education, computing and information technology, institutional renewal and revitalization, and academic-industry economic development partnerships.

The Ferrari Award carries with a prize of $5,000 which is awarded to the winner by the Chancellor at the University’s Opening Luncheon in August. A photo gallery of recipients is on display on the second floor of the Mary Couts Burnett Library.

Nominations for the Michael R. Ferrari Award
