Stepping in to ‘Lead On,’ Daniel Pullin becomes TCU’s new chancellor

Fort Worth Report 
Daniel W. Pullin, who became TCU’s chancellor on June 1, considers himself an “accidental academic.” His path to leading a Big 12 university was never a straight one. He went to business school at Harvard University, law school at the University of Oklahoma, worked as a business analyst and started an entrepreneurial program at his alma mater at OU, where he found his calling. “I just fell in love with the classroom and students and seeing the direct impact that you could have in a scaled way, on many people every day,” said Pullin, who came to TCU in 2019 to lead the TCU Neeley School of Business.

A new chapter is set to begin at TCU, as the university appoints a new leader. Daniel W. Pullin is set to become the university’s 11th chancellor on June 1. The former dean of TCU’s Neeley School of Business, Pullin became TCU’s president in 2023. “(At) a lot of universities, particularly really large ones, sometimes students or their families are nervous. They’ll go and get lost or just be a number, but I would say at TCU, it’s not a place to get lost,” Pullin told the Star-Telegram in August. “It’s a place you come to get found.” 

How Chancellor Victor Boschini transformed TCU into a university that thinks big

It’s easy to see why Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. is so popular with students at TCU. The energetic 69-year-old greets everyone he passes on campus, from students and their families to staff and fellow administrators. Though his meticulously scheduled days move at a breakneck speed, he takes the time to acknowledge the people who make TCU what it is. “Victor leads with humility,” said Kit Moncrief, chair of the TCU Board of Trustees, “which stems from his deep faith and love of his family. Being centered on values and family drives those genuine connections with students, faculty and staff, which has defined TCU as a place where people thrive. I’ve had the privilege to work with many leaders in my lifetime, but none so humble and genuine as Victor.”
