Event Description
TCU has announced a new partnership with former
Mexican President Vicente Fox to host The Vicente Fox Forum of World
Leaders at TCU beginning Wednesday, Nov. 30 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in
Brown-Lupton University Union ballroom.
President Fox is the Forum’s first speaker; other world leaders
scheduled to speak at the Forum in 2012 include the former Prime
Minister of Spain, Jose Maria Aznar; former Prime Minister of Canada,
Jean Chretien; former President of Poland, Lech Walesa; and former
President and Prime Minister of Israel, Shimon Peres.
A key focus of the Forum is facilitating connections between former
world leaders and college and high school students to encourage
leadership development among youth and provide them with a glimpse of
presidential leadership. TCU students, as well as students from area
high schools and other universities will be able to attend the afternoon
Forums free of charge.
“This Forum is in line with TCU’s mission statement to educate
individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens
in the global community,” said TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr.
“It is important for our students to learn from world leaders’
experiences and the challenges they faced while leading during difficult
times.”
“Marta and I feel passionate about strengthening the bridges between the
Americas by investing in our emerging leaders,” said President Fox,
referring to his wife Marta and their vision together for building
leaders.
Dr. Juan Hernandez, a graduate of TCU, was instrumental in connecting
TCU and President Fox to establish the Forum. “It gives me great
pleasure to bring together friendships I have forged in other nations
with my alma mater TCU and my home, Fort Worth,” said Dr. Hernandez, who
also is the co-founder of the Hispanic Leadership Alliance.
The Forum will be held at various times throughout next year. To attend
