As I reflect on my first full academic year as Texas Christian University President, I am exceedingly grateful for the Horned Frog community and excited for what the future holds. In the past several months, you have welcomed me into your research labs, classrooms, performances, practice fields, events and department meetings. These experiences have allowed me to witness firsthand what makes TCU’s culture and academic and student experience so unique.
The photos below were taken at places and events on campus and remind me of my interactions with so many amazing students, faculty and staff this spring. Thank you all for making my job fun and rewarding, for your dedication and passion inspire me daily. I can’t wait to see what the next year has in store for all of us.
Lead On, Horned Frogs!
Daniel W. Pullin
President
The TCU Core Facility (“Core Lab”) is the only repository for rock cores in North Texas and was developed as a partnership between the Department of Geological Sciences and the Ralph Lowe Energy Institute.
The Core Lab provides a unique opportunity for students to participate in hands-on research while also serving the needs of energy companies who use the facility to store and examine core from all over the world.
Exciting times ahead as the Core Lab grows into the Center for Subsurface Research and Visualization.
A tour of the Department of Nutritional Sciences was a great way to learn about opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and what our talented faculty are achieving in the classroom and in labs.
Dietetics majors have a wide range of job opportunities, including work in hospitals, public health, research, sports nutrition and other health care facilities.
Robo-Con featured a robo-soccer game, a maze and a dance competition.
For just $3, Horned Frogs can name a TCU Squirrel and contribute to student scholarships. The campaign’s primary goal is to strengthen TCU’s community of philanthropy and culture of giving. Kudos to our TCU staff for their endless creativity, and thank you to all who have participated in the campaign.
In a time of rapid change for higher education, Texas Christian University’s innovative mindset is driving success across campus and setting new benchmarks for what’s possible in higher education.
From the very outset, TCU has been a values-centered university. Our founders dreamed of creating a college that would not only educate young people in literacy and the sciences but also develop their character. Their founding ideals and vision have fueled TCU’s upward trajectory for 152 years.
