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.
