FORT WORTH, Texas—Tarleton State University broke ground this afternoon for the first building of its planned campus on 80 acres, donated by the Walton Group of Companies, along Chisholm Trail Parkway.
It has earned a place in world history—the seminal year of 1968. It was a year of seismic social and political change across the globe. From the burgeoning anti-Vietnam war and civil rights movements in the United States, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, protests and revolutions in Europe, and famine in Africa.
When Tarleton State University graduates walk the stage this Friday and Saturday, a number of outstanding students will embody the core values of the school and exemplify the power of higher education to open doors to new ideas and change communities—and families—for the better.
Find out more about Tarleton State University’s bachelor’s degree completion programs in Fort Worth on Saturday, Nov. 18, at an open house for prospective transfer students.
