COVID-19 Communications

An email was sent to students and parents minutes ago, with videos outlining some of TCU’s preparation and programming to ensure our student experience is engaging and enriching this fall. It is important that we continue to share our plans to build a different, but excellent, academic experience. Thank you all for your incredible work over these past few months. It’s more important than ever that our community remain united in our focus on students and their success.

Every day, you make us proud to be part of the Texas Christian University community. Especially during these uncertain times, we have appreciated all the letters of support and insightful questions that you’ve sent our way. Our campus may seem quiet right now, but this summer has been our busiest, as we have worked day and night to reimagine the TCU student experience, given changes caused by the pandemic.

The Chancellor’s Fall 2020 Campus Readiness Task Force today shared Phase III guidance as part of the Return to Campus for Employees plan.

While the landscape continues to evolve, I appreciate that all of you are continuing to evolve as well. This has been a busy couple of weeks. Let’s launch right in to updates.

Moments ago, I shared with TCU graduates and their families that we have made the difficult decision not to host our planned Senior Toast and Commencement ceremonies, scheduled for August 7 and August 8, respectively. This is so disappointing to so many, and yet we made the responsible decision to protect our campus community, and especially those students coming to campus the next week.
