Community Involvement

Partner.

• TCU and its hometown have enjoyed a century of partnership since the University moved to Fort Worth from its Waco campus in 1910.
• A new urban village is blossoming in the neighborhood south of campus. TCU is a key partner in the Berry Street Initiative, which is fostering this change.
• TCU has helped to make college a reality for more than 6,000 first-generation/low-income students across the Metroplex through College Access programs, which include TCU Community Scholars.
• With events like the Trinity Shakespeare Festival, the PianoTexas International Academy & Festival and the Schieffer Symposium in Journalism, TCU is an anchor in the cultural life of North Texas.
• In the summer, the University opens the campus to 60,000 participants in TCU-sponsored camps, conferences and other community events.
• TCU is developing innovative solutions to critical health care needs with initiatives such as the Center for Evidence Based Practice and Research, the nurse anesthesia program and a doctorate in nursing practice.
• The Andrews Institute of Mathematics & Science Education, which works with hundreds of K-12 teachers and students, is helping create a national model for teaching of science and mathematics.

Point of pride: TCU students, faculty and staff volunteer tens of thousands of hours annually, working with local schools and social service organizations.
