We were pleased to officially inaugurate President Jonathan J. Sanford as the university’s 10th president just this past month. Under Dr. Sanford’s leadership, the university has entered a new era of optimism and growth that will match the optimism and growth of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and of Texas at large. Case in point — we just welcomed our largest first-year class in history and reached the $100 million milestone in our endowment fund, a critical measure of the long-term health of our institution.
