This episode of TRECcast is a replay of our August 26 Bank of Texas Speaker Series, which featured a fireside chat between Chief Partners LP President Bill Vanderstraaten and Southern Methodist University (SMU) President Jay Hartzell!
Hartzell began his tenure with SMU on June 1 after five years in the same role with the University of Texas at Austin, where he was a faculty member for more than two decades and also previously served as dean of the McCombs School of Business. He joins SMU at a pivotal time for the university, as it builds momentum as a Carnegie R1 research institution, acclimates to the Atlantic Coast Conference, and stewards a $1.64 billion-dollar fundraising impact campaign.
