The second award was given to outgoing Retirees’ Association President Rich Enos. The Linda Moore Service award was created in 2024. Named in honor of Linda, who in 1977 joined TCU as the second member of the then Social Work Program. Linda was passionate about sports, and even more so about the student-athletes who played those sports, so much so that she persuaded the Provost to establish an athletic academic services program. It focused on student-athletes with learning differences who were not on track to graduate.

The Linda Moore award recognizes is a TCU faculty or staff member for their exemplary accomplishments and contributions made during retirement, and Rich is “richly” deserving (pun intended) of this award. He retired as the Quondam Holder of the Lillian Radford Chair of Rhetoric and Composition and, among others, his previous awards include as the Chancellor’s Award for Distinguished Achievement as a Creative Teacher and Scholar and a Piper Professor Award, the highest state-wide recognition given to university professors. Rich remains an active scholar in retirement, continuing to conduct research and publish on rhetoric by the examination of archeological materials. And of course, he served with distinction as President of the Retirees’ Association in the 2024-2025 academic year.
