- Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. and President Daniel W. Pullin

a regular basis. Dr. Emily Lund, Dr. Kevin Knight, Dr. John T. Harvey, Dean Amy Hardison
Tully and Deputy Athletic Director Ryan Peck have been appointed as Co-Chairs, and
Dr. Susan Weeks is our Core Strategy Team Project Manager.

begun to reach out to faculty, students, staff, alumni, employers, Trustees and the
broader Fort Worth community to engage in workshops and listening sessions around
four strategic pillars:

Vision in Action: Lead On
TCU’s growth in size and national presence has been guided by our current strategic plan, Vision in Action: Lead On. Adopted in 2017, the plan includes four goals centered on: 1) strengthening the academic profile and reputation; 2) strengthening the endowment; 3) strengthening the TCU experience and campus culture; and 4) strengthening the workforce: both employees and graduates.
