Goals for year highlight Chancellor luncheon

Chancellor Michael Ferrari, in his welcome address at the new student assembly luncheon Tuesday, set the agenda for TCU’s 130th year and encouraged students, faculty and staff to work together to complete it.

Ferrari spoke to more than 900 students at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum about the opening of the Tucker Technology building, classroom and laboratory renovations and ongoing campus projects such as the projected completion of the Charles and Marie Lupton Baseball Stadium and Recreation Center.

Representatives of the Student Government Association, Staff Assembly and Faculty Senate also voiced their goals and concerns for the semester.

Ferrari called the new student assembly an important event to the life of TCU and each of 1,500 freshmen and 400 transfer students.

“To be a member of the TCU community means that you take seriously our mission, which is to do your part to increasingly think and act as an ethical leader and responsible citizen in the global community,” Ferrari said.
