Daniel Pullin is set to be the next President of Texas Christian University, the university announced Monday.
Pullin's appointment comes after a national search for candidates. TCU students, faculty and staff provided input and feedback during the search.
"I am honored and humbled to be appointed the incoming president [of] Texas Christian University," Pullin said in a press release. "Four years ago, this community welcomed me and my family with the kindness and generosity that only Horned Frogs can offer. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve TCU in a greater capacity as I've seen firsthand the transformational power of what a TCU education can provide."
