Leadership at TCU is once again being shaped by John V. Roach Honors College students. They now make up two of the four newly elected Student Government Association student body officers, representing the college’s strong culture of service and campus involvement.
Titus Fagan, a third-year majoring in accounting, was elected 2026-2027 student body president, and Macy Bayer, a second-year double majoring in journalism and marketing, was elected treasurer.
Considering the Broader Community
Fagan served as SGA vice president for the 2025-2026 academic year. When he first
became involved in the association, he had one simple goal: understanding his peers.
“I wanted to learn about the challenges they face so that I could help work to fix them,” he said.
What started as a way to connect quickly became a deeper commitment to advocacy and ensuring student voices are heard.
As he prepares to begin his new role, Fagan is focused on making SGA more accessible. He plans to host town halls and office hours to provide transparency about decision-making and how funding is allocated. He is also interested in improving student life, including an airport shuttle and expanding the use of dining dollars at sporting events.
Fagan credits his Roach Honors experience with shaping the way he approaches leadership.
Through discussion-based classes and exposure to new perspectives, he learned to think
beyond individual needs and consider the broader TCU community.
“It taught me that being concerned about the individual isn’t adequate to make change that improves the lives of many different people,” he said.
Leading with Your Actions
For Macy Bayer, SGA has been part of her TCU experience since the very beginning.
She ran for a House representative position during her first week on campus and went
on to serve as Campus Affairs chair for the 2025-2026 academic year, making her election
as treasurer feel like a full-circle moment.
“SGA has been the perfect fit for me and has helped me grow as a leader,” she said. “I’ve been able to advocate for students and bring legislation to the floor that directly impacts students.”
Her work in SGA has already made an impact. She recently helped fund a new set of
calculators for the university library after learning there was a need among students.
She’s looking forward to supporting more student organizations and mentoring fellow
SGA members as they navigate the legislative process.
Bayer also credits Roach Honors as a major influence on her leadership style. She describes it as shaping her into a leader who values initiative and collaboration.
“It is easy to lead with your voice alone,” she said. “But the Honors College has taught me the importance of leading with your actions as well.”
The Support of Roach Honors
Both students say it is no surprise that Roach Honors students are well represented
in SGA. Fagan points to the college’s focus on ethical thinking and community impact,
while Bayer highlights the motivation and engagement she sees among her peers.
That same community played an important role in their decision to run. Fagan and Bayer said they felt supported throughout the process, especially from mentors and classmates. For Bayer, that support was especially clear on election night, when friends from Milton Daniel Hall celebrated alongside her.
As both students begin their terms, they bring a shared commitment to listening, learning and leading with purpose, values shaped by their time in Roach Honors and their dedication to the TCU community.
