News worth sharing from Texas Christian University

National Geographic recently reported on efforts to save the Texas horned lizard, spotlighting the researchers and advocates working to bring the iconic species back across the state. The story notes that “the rest of the state loves the real thing just as much as TCU loves SuperFrog” — a reminder that conservation and school spirit intersect in meaningful ways.

TCU researchers are developing new models that better leverage the chemical structures of real devices to accurately design and engineer quantum technologies at the atomic scale. 

Home to more than 13,000 students from diverse faith backgrounds, TCU’s Religious & Spiritual Life team — including Katherine Wright ’14 (M.Div. ’17) — focuses on nurturing students and strengthening community.

A research site visit led by a TCU alumnus and coordinated through AddRan College’s Interdisciplinary Research and Creative Activity Clusters, brought together faculty from environmental science, nutrition, geography, anthropology, sociology and English. The goal: explore collaborations that blend liberal arts inquiry with hands-on research, community impact and experiential learning.
