Hometown: Carthage, Missouri - though I've also lived in New Orleans, Tulsa, Baton Rouge and now Fort Worth (Bedford, actually) 

Alma Mater: Tulane University for an undergraduate degree in history and political science; then the University of Dallas Graduate School of Management for an MBA in the management of not-for-profit organizations 

E-mail: w.waggoner@tcu.edu  

Year I joined the Office of Admission: 2005 

Areas I recruit: Dallas, Missouri (except Kansas City), and Alaska. (Kansas City students: Click here to meet your counselor.) 

I think TCU is a great university because: TCU has the feel of a major, private university (outstanding professors, tons of classes, big-time athletics), yet the focus is overwhelmingly on the undergraduates. I also think the relationship between TCU and Fort Worth is unique for a university in a large metropolitan area. Fort Worth is really like a big college town - everyone loves TCU and the city has as much pride in the university as the students themselves. It makes for tremendous opportunities. 

Hobbies and interests: Travel, theatre, dessert, and visiting college campuses. 

If you visited me in my office, you'd see: Lots of papers and my two favorite quotations: "Stand up for what's right, even if you're standing alone," and "Sometimes I go up; sometimes I go down; but, always I go forward."
