Ed, BBA '73, and Denise Crenshaw
Legacy Award

Ed Crenshaw learned as a student at Baylor that building strong relationships meant taking time to get to know someone and understanding what was important to them. At the side of his KOT sponsor and mentor, Dr. Robert Packard, Ed learned that real leaders draw the best out of each person they meet. These are principles Ed continues to employ today as CEO of the Florida-based Publix Super Markets chain - a Fortune 500, employee-owned business consistently ranked among Forbes Most Admired Companies. While at Baylor, Ed served as president of Student Foundation, travelling the state to share the Baylor story in churches and schools and talking with donors about the importance of scholarship support.
Giving back is a habit and a lifestyle for both Ed and his wife Denise. They are active in United Way in their Lakeland, Florida area and are members of the Lakeland Regional Medical Center board and foundation. Denise values the distinctive mission of Baylor, and the Crenshaws have generously supported the university and provided the naming gift for a new Student Foundation Building. They now serve on the President's Scholarship Initiative Steering Committee and continue to give faithfully to student scholarships. They are members of the Old Main Society and Presidents Club and received the Huckins and Pat Neff Medallions as members of the Medallion Fellowship.
