It’s day one on the job for Dr. Rachael Capua, the new Dean of Tarleton State University’s Campus in Fort Worth.
She's worked with transfer students at TCU, in the Office of The Chancellor at Tarrant County College, and most recently, with the educational nonprofit Tarrant To and Through .
That grandfather was on her mother's side, a single mom who raised two girls and owned her own business. "I had reservations. 'Could we make all this work? Could we manage a position like this with two girls at the same time, something new, right?' And, he assured me, marriage is about meeting each other where we are professionally and personally and that we can do this and we can do it together," she said.
And as dean, she'll define Tarleton's role as part of the new Texas A&M University System research and innovation center downtown , she'll work to expand upper-level classes on the fifth floor of Tarrant County College's Trinity West Fork Building, continuing a long-standing commitment by both schools to provide affordable, accessible education for students who want more than an associate degree.
