“The board has been privileged to partner with wonderful deans, including the marvelous addition of Dean Tully,” said Mullins. “She has already made a mark, and we are so impressed with her approach of intently listening to what students, faculty and staff need.” The Board and Dean Tully are excited for the future of the college and its impact in serving the community through arts education and programming. “Our members have an incredible reputation for advocacy,” said Dean Tully. “They are not only passionate supporters of the arts at TCU, but they enthusiastically advocate for our students, faculty and programs in the community. I trust our board to advise us on how we can strengthen our relationships with professional arts organizations to provide students with meaningful and relevant out-of-classroom experiences that will assist them in their careers.” The BOV collaborates with an advisory board to raise awareness of the college in the global community. The advisory board features internationally renowned leaders from: • Amon Carter Museum of American Art • Fort Worth Opera • Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth • Texas Ballet Theater • The Cliburn • The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra • The Kimbell Art Museum “‘Time, talent or treasure’ is a marvelous description because to be a board member means to be involved and uplift the college,” said Mullins. “I have a deep appreciation for the continued commitment, enthusiasm and wisdom of our board members. This board sets a high standard for which we can all be proud.” v
