Fred Logan has been named the recipient of the inaugural Chancellor’s Distinguished Service Award for his notable service to the University of Kansas and higher education. “Fred Logan has been a tireless civic leader and higher education advocate for decades,” said KU Chancellor Douglas A. Girod. “More specifically, he has been a relentless advocate for KU and played a leadership role in many of our most important civic initiatives, particularly with regard to the KU Cancer Center. On behalf of the entire university, I want to thank him for his service to KU and congratulate him on being the recipient of the inaugural Chancellor’s Distinguished Service Award. Fred’s service to this university — and to higher education more broadly — cannot be overstated,” Chancellor Girod said. “For as long as I’ve been here, Fred has been a person we could call on for advice or support or to ask him to play a leadership role for an important initiative. His answer is always ‘yes,’ and his leadership always leads to a terrific outcome for the university.”
