CHANCELLOR BIOGRAPHY Entry into the Big 12 and the debut of the totally renovated, revitalized Amon G. Carter Stadium are just two of the reasons it’s a great time to be a Horned Frog. No one is more aware of this than TCU’s 10th chancellor, Dr. Victor J. Boschini, Jr. He has the privilege of heading TCU during a period of unprecedented support from alumni, parents and friends — support that has enabled the University to create a world-class, values-centered university experience for its 9,500 students. The $434 million Campaign for TCU and the support of 39,800 individuals has enabled the University to realize an impressive agenda: the doubling of scholarship support for talented and deserving undergraduates, construction of more than a dozen facilities, establishment of the John V. Roach Honors College, creation of 11 new endowed faculty positions and completion of the donor-funded stadium project. “TCU is truly blessed with the generosity of so many alumni, parents and friends,” Dr. Boschini says. “The best way we can say thank you is by ensuring their gifts to TCU are well invested.” TCU is a student-focused school committed to providing a world-class, values-centered university experience. Dr. Boschini has been a student-focused chancellor since he came here in 2003 from Illinois State University, where he served as president, vice president for student affairs and associate professor in the Department of Educational Administration and Foundations. Prior to that, he held administrative and teaching positions at Butler and Indiana universities. In each academic year since his arrival at TCU, he has taught a course in the College of Education, where he holds the rank of professor. As a leader in higher education, Dr. Boschini wants to ensure that students in this state and across the nation can benefit from a university education. He is currently serving as president of the Board of Directors of Independent Colleges & Universities of Texas (ICUT). Previously, he chaired the National Association of Independent Colleges & Universities (NAICU), headquartered in Washington, D.C. This organization represents the interests of private colleges and universities across the country. Not surprisingly, his primary area of advocacy and interest in these organizations has been maintaining accessibility for all. Dr. Boschini sits on the board of the State Farm Company Mutual Funds, as well as the boards of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and the Van Cliburn Foundation. His wife, Megan Boschini, is also involved in a variety of activities in Fort Worth. She serves on the board of directors for the Museum of Science and History and Gill Charity, Inc. She has been a volunteer for Tarrant County Meals-on-Wheels. They are both committed to ensuring that they, and TCU, are active participants in the Fort Worth community. Dr. Boschini and his wife, Megan, host hundreds of students in their home annually and attend scores of campus events throughout the academic year. That’s if they are not traveling across the state and country on behalf of the University, or attending a summer Frog Camp for incoming students in London or Seville or Washington, D.C. For the Boschinis, TCU is a family affair. This fall, they will become Horned Frog parents the third time over, when their son, Edward, joins the Class of 2016. Two daughters are graduates, Elizabeth, Class of 2009, and Mary, Class of 2012. And another Frog may be in the future — their youngest daughter, Margaret, attends All Saints Episcopal School in Fort Worth. Dr. and Mrs. Boschini are excited about the upcoming school year and especially about welcoming the Class of 2016 into the Texas Christian University family. It will also be their pleasure to welcome Horned Frog supporters to a new era in Horned Frog football and to cultivate new relationships with fellow Big 12 conference members.
