Dick Enberg CMU Alumni Commitment Award

The Dick Enberg CMU Alumni Commitment Award honors the legacy of the late hall-of-fame sports broadcaster Dick Enberg ’57. 

While his commentary was heard throughout the sports world, he always came back to his roots at Central Michigan University. He was an avid donor, an inspiring leader and a gracious supporter of up-and-coming CMU Chippewas through his time and endowments.
