Francis S. Johnson Chair for Graduate Education
The chair was established to honor the legacy of the University’s first acting president, Dr. Francis “Frank” Johnson, and to recognize the contributions he made as graduate dean of UT Dallas. This chair was created with funds from the Excellence in Education Foundation Endowment in appreciation of the recent $5.5 million gift from the estate of Francis and Maurine Johnson that created seven Francis S. and Maurine G. Johnson Chairs in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
