Alumni Awards
The TCU College of Education Excellence in Education Award recognizes an individual who has made contributions in the field of education and actively involved in the TCU College of Education. Nominees may be teachers, professors, counselors, librarians, administrators, school board members or educational advocates associated with public or private institutions at all levels of education. A nominee may be deceased and does not have to be a TCU graduate.
Due to an abundance of caution and coronavirus concerns, the 2020 Excellence in Education reception has been cancelled.
