ESTHER FARFEL AWARD
FRANCIS NAMED
2008 FARFEL
RECIPIENT
David Francis has had a happy home at the University
of Houston for the past 24 years. From his time as
a student to his years serving as a professor and chair
for the department of psychology, he has enjoyed the
camaraderie of colleagues, the appreciation of the
administration and the dedication of students.
The campus community also has valued Francis’ many
contributions to the university. This year, he has
been awarded the 2008 Esther Farfel Award, UH’s
highest accolade recognizing faculty excellence.
The award includes a trophy and $10,000 cash prize
that is provided through an endowment established by
the late Aaron Farfel, former UH System Board of Regents
Chair, in honor of his wife Esther.
“It is such a significant honor for a UH faculty
member to win the Farfel Award that I had to pause
for a minute to take in the magnitude of what this
honor means,” said Francis, a Hugh Roy and Lillie
Cranz Cullen Distinguished Professor.
