Future Frogs Edward and Margaret attend All Saints Episcopal School in Fort Worth.

This growth is the result of Vision in Action, an inclusive major strategic planning effort Dr. Boschini launched soon after becoming TCU’s 10th chancellor. Among the results of Vision in Action have been more than a dozen new facilities and scores of renovations across the campus; a doubling of scholarship dollars awarded to undergraduates; the addition of a substantial number of faculty and instructional positions, including 12 new endowed positions, resulting in smaller classes; and the creation of the John V. Roach Honors College. On any given day, Chancellor Boschini and his wife, Megan, can be found at a variety of events across campus. They also spend considerable time traveling across the state and country, on behalf of TCU. Both have participated in Frog Camps for new students, including Frog Camp London, Frog Camp Roma and Casa Nueva Frog Camp. The Boschinis also frequently host students, alums, and TCU supporters in their home. In addition, the Chancellor teaches one course every academic year, a freshman seminar in the College of Education. Chancellor Boschini is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Council on Education (ACE). Headquartered in Washington, D.C., ACE serves as the largest and primary voice for colleges and universities across the country, both private and public. Previously he served as chair of the National Association of Independent Colleges & Universities (NAICU), also headquartered in Washington, D.C. That organization represents and advocates in Congress for the interests of private colleges and universities across the nation. In both groups, he has focused on maintaining accessibility for all students to higher education – particularly through federal financial aid programs.
