OFFICERS OF THE BOARD
14th Year at Texas Christian University Working to provide a world-class, values-centered University experience Texas Christian University is all about the students. That’s the message Chancellor Victor Boschini has emphasized since he arrived here in 2003. It’s how the Chancellor and TCU First Lady Megan Boschini set their priorities. It’s why the Chancellor teaches a freshman class every fall and works to ensure that students in this state and across the nation can benefit from a university education, particularly through state and federal financial aid. It’s why Mrs. Boschini is committed to enhancing the TCU experience for each student and facilitating the forward momentum of the University. It’s the reason the Boschinis entertain hundreds of students in the Chancellors’ residence and attend scores of events annually. That is if they are not traveling across the state and country on behalf of the University, or attending a summer Frog Camp for incoming students. For the Boschinis, TCU is a family affair. Chancellor and Mrs. Boschini (Honorary TCU Alumna 2010) are parents of four Horned Frogs: Margaret (Class of 2018), Edward (Class of 2016), Mary Catherine (Class of 2012) and Elizabeth (Class of 2009). The couple has had the privilege of being at TCU during a period of unprecedented support from alumni, parents and friends that has enabled the University to create a world-class, values-centered university experience for its approximately 10,000 students. Following the Vision in Action strategic process, the $434 million Campaign for TCU underwrote an impressive agenda: 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 a total, donor-funded renovation of the Amon G. Carter Stadium. Now the University is realizing the next phase of its long-term plans: Vision In Action: The Academy of Tomorrow. As part of this phase, TCU created an Intellectual Commons on the east side of campus by adding residence halls to meet student demand, enhancing the academic profile of the student body as well as balancing the mix between male and female students, and continuing to increase the curricular and cocurricular opportunities available both on and off campus for our students. One of the most monumental initiatives recently announced is the academic collaboration between TCU and the University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) to create a Medical School in Fort Worth. Adding to the outstanding TCU schools and colleges, this Medical School will augment the academic profile and expand post-graduate education offerings as set forth in the University strategic plan. The first class is expected to matriculate in 2018. Chancellor Boschini came to TCU 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.
As a leader in higher education, the Chancellor has a high profile in organizations that benefit students — nationally and in the State of Texas. He recently completed his term as president of the Board of Directors of the Independent Colleges & Universities of Texas (ICUT). He also serves on the board of the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, the organization that works with the Fulbright Scholars program, and the President’s Council of The Washington Center, the largest independent, nonprofit academic internship program in the United States. Previously, he chaired the National Association of Independent Colleges & Universities (NAICU), which represents the interests of private colleges and universities across the country. Chancellor Boschini was appointed this year as a representative of the Big 12 Conference to serve on the NCAA Presidential Forum that involves presidential leadership of intercollegiate athletics and assists the NCAA Division I Board of Directors in accomplishing its strategic mission in the Division I governance structure. In addition, Chancellor Boschini sits on the board of the State Farm Company Mutual Funds, as well as the boards of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, the Van Cliburn Foundation and the Moncrief Cancer Institute. Megan Boschini is also involved in a variety of community activities and organizations in Fort Worth to improve the well-being of our campus and city. Currently she is serving on the Board of Directors for Gill Children’s Services. Gill is a Fort Worth group committed to providing free medical and dental care to children in our community. In addition to civic engagement, Mrs. Boschini keeps a busy schedule as TCU’s First Lady by entertaining each year a countless number of TCU students, faculty/staff, alumni, and supporters in their home. Both Boschinis are committed to ensuring that they — and TCU — remain good citizens of the University’s hometown of Fort Worth.
