Trinity Presidency in Focus: Vanessa Beasley Speaks with the San Antonio Report About Leading One of the Nation’s Top Universities

Trinity University President Vanessa B. Beasley, Ph.D. discussed Trinity's rising national profile and shared her vision for the institution's future in an interview with the San Antonio Report. Four years into her presidency, the University has climbed to No. 37 in U.S. News & World Report's national liberal arts and sciences rankings and strengthened its financial position with a nearly $2 billion endowment and major fundraising campaign.
