They will serve on the TWU governing board until Feb. 1, 2015. “I join my fellow regents in welcoming the new regents to the board,” said Harry L. Crumpacker II, Chair and Presiding Officer of the TWU Board of Regents. “I look forward to working together as we continue to grow and thrive as an education leader in Texas.” “Our regents are so important to the success of this university,” TWU Chancellor and President Dr. Ann Stuart said. “As leaders in their professions and in their communities, the new regents’ value to the board will be immeasurable as we continue to provide Texas with graduates who meet the state’s critical workforce needs.” Sue S.

A retired University of North Texas music professor, Ms. Bancroft received her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University, a master’s degree from the University of Michigan and an honorary doctorate from Central Michigan University. She replaces Mr. Crumpacker, who was reappointed to fill the unexpired term of former TWU regent Sharon Venable. “Both TWU and Chancellor Stuart are leading the way in helping Texas meet its higher education needs for this century,” Ms. Bancroft said. “I look forward to helping this excellent university provide the state with the best graduates in order to improve the well-being of its citizens.” TWU alumna Lola Chriss is the manager of health promotion and benefits for Texas Instruments in Dallas.

Mrs. Chriss received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and her master’s degree in nursing from TWU. She replaces Tegwin Pulley of Dallas. “TWU serves an incredible role in higher education in both Texas and the U.S.,” Mrs. Chriss said. “It is a privilege to be able to help shape, influence and serve Texas and TWU as a regent.” Ann Scanlon McGinity of Pearland is the senior vice president, operations, and the chief nurse executive for the Methodist Hospital in Houston.

honor and a humbling responsibility to be part of a nationally

and creatively preparing future generations of professionals
in health care, the arts, sciences and education,” Ms.

to the mission and vision of excellence that is the hallmark
of a TWU education.” ###
