Victor J. Boschini, known by students simply as VBo, has ended his 22-year tenure as TCU’s chancellor.

“I have learned so much from you all—students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, Trustees, TCU friends and community members,” Boschini wrote in an email on May 14. “Thank you for your support through the good times and the tough times. With age comes wisdom, and I can reflect on what has occurred over the years and be assured that everything happens as part of God’s master plan.”

Boschini will stay with TCU as chancellor emeritus to continue “friend-raising,” fundraising and teaching, focusing less on administrative tasks and more on the students and families at TCU, according to his email. In comments across social media platforms, many students thanked the chancellor for his distinctly personal commitment to community members in this way.

“I look forward to seeing new students on campus as well as the familiar faces of returning students, faculty and staff,” Boschini wrote. “Know that I am counting on each of you to contribute in big and small ways to strive toward achieving your goals and the greater vision for TCU.”

TCU will honor Boschini and his wife Megan with the renaming of TCU’s Music Center, now the Megan and Victor Boschini Music Center. Boschini is the sixth chancellor to have a building named after him.

“Victor’s impact on TCU is immeasurable,” Daniel Pullin, former president and new TCU chancellor, said in a press release.

Daniel Pullin and his wife will move into the Minor House, the TCU chancellor residence, and will assume duties immediately following Boschini’s departure. His previous experience includes three year John V. Roach dean of the Neeley School of Business and two year president. TCU Board of Trustees Chair Kit Moncrief and Boschini himself both spoke highly about the incoming chancellor.

Pullin will lead the university through record enrollment and expanded research opportunities, while also launching the “Lead On: Values in Action” strategic plan.

“TCU is building a university for the future, anchored by timeless values, powered by innovation and driven by measurable outcomes,” Pullin said. “Together, we will elevate student success, expand our research enterprise and fully leverage the strength of our community—including athletics, alumni and academic distinction—to LEAD ON in bold and meaningful ways.

Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker spoke to the beneficial collaboration between the university and the city and congratulated both Boschini and Pullin.

“It is a testament to TCU, TCU’s Board of Trustees, Chancellor Pullin, Dr. Boschini and to Fort Worth that so much care has been taken with this transition of leadership at TCU, and with the prioritization of community engagement as a pillar of the new strategic plan,” she said.

TCU’s fourth longest serving chancellor signed off his thank you email with gratitude and Horned Frog spirit.

“This is not goodbye, but see you again soon,” Boschini wrote. “On behalf of Megan and the entire Boschini family, thank you for your love and support over the years. We are overwhelmed by the kindness extended to us, and we will continue to cherish our TCU memories. Go Frogs!”
