Texas Wesleyan alums Granger, Veasey named trustees

Five new members will join the board of trustees at Texas Wesleyan University, including Rep. Kay Granger (R-Fort Worth) and Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Fort Worth), both graduates of the Fort Worth institution.

Veasey graduated from Texas Wesleyan in 1995 and is the sophomore representative for Texas' 33rd Congressional District. Elected in 2012, Veasey serves on the House Armed Services Committee, and the Committee on Science, Space and Technology.

"We are especially proud to see our alumni, Rep. Granger and Rep. Veasey, join our board," President Frederick G. Slabach said. "We often say our graduates go on to accomplish great things, and both Kay and Marc are proof of that."
