You Belong. As Student Affairs professionals we each play a vital role in the student experience. Everyone has a seat at our table - a place to share ideas, voice concerns, or just be. These forums are designed around a pillar of belonging to help create a divisional sense of belonging. Have an idea or want to talk to someone about the Student Affairs Forum? Email us at SAforum@tcu.edu.

Join us to connect with your colleagues, learn more about division events, and grow in your development. A light breakfast is provided. Program runs from 8:30-10:00am, location sent in each meeting request.

Make sure to RSVP for each forum by selecting “accept or decline” and “send response” on each meeting request. This allows us to plan accordingly for food and seating.

      1. An app on your phone that would surprise people?
        The least predictable is probably a color-by-number one called Oil Painting where I can get landscapes come to life; it’s like traveling through coloring.
    2. Single best piece of professional advice you ever received was?
      Do not compare your work to that of others.  Do your best work without the expectation of recognition.
    3. Something you are happy you did but would never do again?
      While in South Africa years ago, I went on a boat excursion to spot sharks and also flew on an ultralight plane over the ocean.
