University minister John Butler was awarded in July the Alexander Campbell Award, the highest award given by the Division of Higher Education of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), to recognize distinguished service at Disciples-related colleges and universities. In his 23rd year at TCU, Butler has long been a visionary of diversity and inclusiveness at the University.

“We are very proud of this extraordinary recognition given to John by the higher education community of the Christian Church,” Chancellor Michael R. Ferrari said. “He has given so much to our students over the years, and this is worthy praise indeed for his enormous contributions to TCU and to the Church.”
