UT Dallas is a city within Richardson. With an enrollment of almost 30,000 (and ranked as one of the fastest growing in the country), its president, Dr. Richard Benson, is the mayor of…a lot of brainiacs. As the CEO of a staff of over 3600, he is working with budgets and analyzing customer trends and threats for delivery (ie, steering his institution through covid and meeting international student needs).
The Richardson Chamber’s President Bill Sproull talks to Dr. Benson about the future of the school (think resiliency and optimism) and how diversity is built into its DNA.
