COVID-19 Communications

There’s a lot of discussion/concern about the mental health of students during these times. Rightfully so. National studies warn about increases in psychological symptoms, substance use and suicide rates among young adults, and the TCU Counseling Center is seeing an unprecedented increase in demand for services. As such, I write this open letter to ask for help.

Throughout the many months we were apart, I walked our quiet campus as we contemplated the best options to have everyone back. And now, many of us have returned and the energy of the Texas Christian University campus is back as well.

We have just marked the mid-point in our fall 2020 semester here at Texas Christian University, and it is a beautiful season here on campus. I’m extraordinarily proud of our campus community for taking such good care of one another and respecting the health, safety and choices of our friends near and far.

Thank you for your role in helping us reach the mid-point in Texas Christian University’s fall semester. I’m extraordinarily proud of and grateful to our campus community for taking such good care of one another and respecting the health, safety and choices of our colleagues near and far.
