After his retirement as President in 1978, Moseley continued his involvement with Austin College, serving as Chancellor and Director of the College’s Center for Program and Institutional Renewal. Dr. Moseley was instrumental in the forming of Independent Colleges and Universities of Texas (ICUT) and in securing legislation to create the Texas Tuition Equalization Grant. Dr. Moseley received several honorary doctorates and numerous local, state, and national awards for his leadership in higher education, the community, and the church.

He was a member and ordained elder of Covenant Presbyterian Church (formerly First Presbyterian Church) since coming to Sherman in 1953.
