University Mission Award
This self-nominated award was created to recognize a Junior or Senior for efforts and accomplishments embodying the mission of the University: to educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community.  The award was created in 2002 to honor the 9th Chancellor of the University, Michael R. Ferrari, who though his leadership, charged the University with creating a new mission for TCU's future.
