Position: Now Retired President of Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions
Responsibilities: Led the series for 29 years, nearly half of its 61 year existence, producing over 100 feature-length movies
Achievements: Moore completed his MBA in marketing and international business from North Western University and received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from SNU in 2009. Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions is the most honored series in US television history. 31 total Emmy awards, 5 Emmy Awards for best Picture and 7 Golden Globes
In His Words: “My English studies provided superb preparation, first for graduate school and later for many aspects of business life. A wide range of student government and other extra-curricular activities at SNU helped me develop leadership skills. It’s no secret that colleges and universities like SNU are far superior to huge institutions in providing such opportunities for a greater proportion of students.”
