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.
