ACCOLADES
Linda Moore, a long-time TCU social work faculty member, instilled in him
a passion for social justice and community involvement.
Francine Esposito Pratt, Brian’s field instructor for his master’s field
placement at the Northside Inter-Church Agency (or NICA), challenged
him and helped him build his confidence as a social worker.
Glenn’s sister, Christie Glenn ‘84 (MS ‘92), a lawyer and the executive
director of the Domestic Relations offices of Tarrant County, sparked his
interest in diversity issues and politics.
Dr. Priscilla Tate, Brian’s mother, associate dean of AddRan during Brian’s
youth, taught him to treat everyone with dignity and respect and to fight
prejudice and discrimination.
Brian’s wife, Fran Huckaby (M.Ed. ’96), associate professor of education, is
the kindest person he knows. She keeps him grounded and inspires him
with her commitment to social justice.
When asked how he would summarize his career to date, he said,
“Throughout my career, I have always sought inclusivity and celebrated
diversity. One thing my experiences have taught me is how to navigate
complexity in an increasingly connected world and my social work skills
have givenme a leg up on this path. As globalizationmakes us more inter-
dependent, we must all take on a broader social responsibility. As social
workers, we are in a good position to be leaders in this cause. The Social
Work program at TCU prepared me to do all of these things.”

leader
Nancy
Johnson Caldwell ’76
was honored
recently with the Outstanding Alumni Award.
Nancy’s exceptional contributions to clinical
nursing practice, infection control practice,
nursing administration and leadership have
positively impacted nurses and other health
care workers in both civilian and military
nursing practice environments. “She richly
deserves this award,” wrote retired U.S. Air
Force Colonel Rita A. Vokes ’77.
After earning her nursing diploma from Sparks School of nursing (Fort
Smith, Ark.), Caldwell earned her BSN in nursing, graduating magna cum
laude and with nursing honors. She went on to earn master’s degrees
in communication from the University of Oklahoma and in psychiatric/
mental health nursing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She
is also a graduate of the Centers for Disease Control Infection Control
Program, the Federal Health Care Executive, the “Leading an Empowered
Organization” program and the U.S. Air Force’s Europe Performance
Improvement Program. I addition she received professional military
education at Squadron Officers School, Air Command and Staff College
and Air War College. Caldwell served 30 years on active duty as a
nurse officer, U.S. Air Force, and in several civilian positions following
her retirement.
Vokes writes, “Nancy was always looking at ways to develop the next
generation of leaders. She taught elements of nursing management and
leadership at programs conducted in England, Japan and the United
States.” The leadership and management acumen of charge nurses and
non-commissioned officers-in-charge were recognized by the USAF
health inspector general team to be the “strongest of any medical center
in the Air Force”noted the U.S. Air Force Medical Center Scott.
Caldwell continues her leadership in the community. She serves as
Service Officer for her local American Legion Post, president of the
GFWC-Blanchardville Woman’s Club and was instrumental in obtaining
