About Colonial Kids for a Cause

Colonial Kids for a Cause LemonAid Stand is a group of philanthropic Fort Worth children who have for the past eight years convened during the Colonial Golf Tournament to help raise money for various local charities through an amazing larger-than-life LemonAid stand! The children run this show, with minimal help from parents. This is an invaluable experience for the children in what it means to give back to their community and how to start and run a "business." The Colonial Kids have raised over $175,000 for local charities since 2010. Every year, the children gather and listen to a handful of non-profit charities stories and they vote to see who they will support for the upcoming year. This year, the Kids of Colonial Kids for a Cause are pleased to request your support as they raise awareness and funds for the amazing Starpoint School.

The Starpoint School at TCU is a school for children, ages 6-11, with learning differences. Starpoint helps students build their academic strengths, develop positive attitudes and prepare them for educational advancement. However; Starpoint can be out of reach for some families, because of the cost of the school’s individualized and innovative programs

We need your help establishing an endowed scholarship that will benefit Starpoint students for years to come! To make this year’s LemonAid Stand the most successful EVER, we humbly ask that you make a donation to Starpoint using this online fundraising page. 100% of your donation will go directly to the students at Starpoint.

Double your impact. In honor of his son, Robbie Baker has generously agreed to match, dollar for dollar, all donations through May 27, 2018 up to $25,000! Make your gift go twice as far and give today!

In past years many of our wonderful friends and sponsors have wanted to come by and contribute but sometimes it’s hard to get to the "stand" during Colonial Saturday. The Colonial Kids will be so grateful and so will our friends at Starpoint!

Thank you to The Burnett Foundation for your $25,000 commitment to the kids of Starpoint! As of May 8, 2018, we’ve raised $25,000 of our $75,000 goal!

Thank you for making a gift to TCU!

Ron Watson came to TCU in 1982 as the Chairman of the Department of Art & Art History. In the thirty years that Ron was a member of the faculty and chair he made significant contributions to the School by leading us through NASAD accreditation and bringing to reality a contemporary art gallery amongst many other things. We are sad to note that Ron passed away recently after a long battle with cancer.

As a way to honor Ron and his exceptional contribution to the TCU School of Art and Fort Worth, a group of alumni and friends have come together to purchase one of Ron’s final works to become a part of the University’s permanent collection. The artwork that is purchased will be displayed inside the Moudy North building.

We hope you will join us to help us make this a reality and contribute today.

Please see the information below to make a gift in memory of Ron and the impact he had on so many students during his time at TCU.

Under Tribute Information, select “In Memory Of” under type, and then add Ron Watson in the name field.

Thank you for making a gift to TCU!

The Texas Christian University’s Men’s Lacrosse Team was founded in 1983 by a group of students who all shared the same passion for TCU academics, athletics and the game of lacrosse. After a brief hiatus, this team was revived by a group of students who shared the same initial passions and wanted to commit to the process of producing very competitive TCU lacrosse teams that ultimately competes for multiple championships.

TCU currently competes in the MCLA, or the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association. The MCLA is a national organization of non-NCAA, men’s college lacrosse programs. The MCLA oversees game play and conducts national championships for over 200 teams in ten conferences throughout the United States and Canada. The MCLA provides a governing structure much like the NCAA, with eligibility rules, All-Americans and a national tournament to decide national champions in both Divisions I and II. TCU is a Division I member of the Lone Star Alliance Conference, along with SMU, Texas, OU, Texas Tech, and A&M among others.

The TCU team will be comprised of 40 players from all across the nation, has a close association with the university, and operates a $40,000+ annual budget. As a university athletic club program, donations and sponsors from corporations and individual who are alumni and friends of the Horned Frogs Nation are incredibly important to our continued success. Here at TCU, we are a school built on a foundation of championships. This year we welcome another talented freshman class to join our already strong subgroup of returning players to take the program to the next level of performance with championships on the horizon.

Thank you for making a gift to TCU!

The John V. Roach Honors College is a learning community of Academic Excellence where high-achieving students explore the complexities of knowledge. The Honors College embodies the first Lead On priority - Strengthening the Academic Profile and Reputation of TCU.

Leading research shows that high-achieving students blossom in environments with interdisciplinary and experiential learning. Honors students at TCU participate in interdisciplinary learning through a curriculum designed to explore big questions that push students outside of their comfort zones and outside of traditional classrooms. Experiential learning, in the form of research and creative projects, is guided by faculty mentors who apply fundamentals from the classroom to real-world scenarios.

The Honors experience develops critical thinking and problem solving; introduces students to new ideas and diverse environments; awakens students’ innate curiosities; and instills a passion for lifelong learning. A major goal is to help our 1,230 Honors students to excel and to surpass even their own expectations. An Honors education exposes students to ongoing, Transformative Experiences, as reflected by finance major and Spanish minor, Kyle Hepting, "The experience I had was truly life-changing and opened my eyes to the impact I have on the world."

To do more, costs more. Philanthropy has fueled our current success, allowing students access to nationally and internationally renowned professors; multi-disciplinary approaches to teaching and learning; and small group discussions. To our many benefactors through the years, we are eternally grateful.

There is so much more we can do. With your help, we can support Academic Excellence and provide Transformative Experiences that prepares students for a vibrant world.

Thank you for making a gift to the TCU Sales Center!

The TCU Frog Club is the principal fundraising arm for the TCU Athletics department, providing critical financial support for athletic scholarships to student-athletes. For more than 80 years, the Frog Club has empowered members to help talented TCU student-athletes receive a top-tier education while pursuing their goals on and off the field of competition. Although the primary focus is providing scholarship support, the Frog Club additionally fundraises for other areas such as facility upgrades, health and wellness, and additional academic resources that directly benefit our student-athletes.

By giving a gift to TCU Athletics programs through the Frog Club, donors are exclusively connected to our coaches, staff, student-athletes and other like-minded fans. Our Horned Frogs community grows bigger and closer through unforgettable TCU experiences and events all because of your support. Please note that $100 is the minimum annual donation amount to qualify for Frog Club membership.

Short description goes here.

Thank you for making a gift to the TCU Sales Center!

Your entire gift will be directed to student programming.

Below are specific, impacting allocations of your gift. Please know that your gift helps our dedicated faculty empower the next generation of salespeople and business leaders.

• HORNED FROG INTERNSHIPS: Funds will go to student stipends for an on-campus, high-impact internship with the Center, which offers critical skills training such as: lead-gen, professional selling, online marketing, social media management, digital design, videography, and principles of business development.
• TRAVEL FUNDS: Funds will be allocated to support students’ out-of-city internships, industry interviews, sales competitions, and conference gatherings (e.g., "Dreamforce - Salesforce Conference"). Too often, highly talented students are forced to pass opportunities due to cost prohibitive travel. Your gift will enable students to expand their professional reach and elevate their early-entry career positioning.
• SKILLS TRAINING: Funds will go toward entry fees for sales competitions and various "boot camps," that offer accelerated learning with live selling challenges. Funds will also go toward "nano-degrees," which are accelerated skills development courses offered from elite institutions and management consulting programs. These skills training opportunities often focus on high-level technological training (e.g., data analytics for sales professionals) that are transferable to any career. Along with the Certificate in Consultative Selling offered by the Center, these added skills training opportunities create a distinguishing, competitive advantage for our graduating students.
• PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATES: We aim for all of our sales students to enter industry with certifications in the following: Salesforce, Advanced Google Analytics, Python (code), and R (code). These certifications can be cost prohibitive for students, and your gift will enable every sales student to enter the marketplace with critical, immediately applicable knowledge and a competitive advantage. The future of sales involves technological training that incorporates data science, analytics, and high-level CRM. We look forward to ensuring our students are prepared, trainable, and ready for a dynamic, technologically-infused career to supplement their exceptional interpersonal skills.
• SCHOLARSHIPS: Top sales students will receive performance and merit-based acknowledgment for their work ethic, follow-through, and prospective value in the marketplace. Scholarships are a form of early stage investing in the career and future of precocious talent. Scholarships have an economic impact and a long-term ROI. Students will more seamlessly enter the marketplace and achieve optimal, highly-remunerative positions. As with any sales role, all stakeholders will benefit. This is one area where gifts dramatically propel careers.

Thank you again for empowering the next generation of salespeople and business leaders.

Take the Lead On supporting students and faculty

In these challenging times, Horned Frogs have stepped up to help their fellow Frogs. We are thankful for the support already received from the TCU community. There is still significant need and opportunity to assist for those who are willing and able.

The Inclusive Excellence Initiatives Fund was established to strengthen existing and future initiatives regarding diversity, equity and inclusion on campus. This fund supports TCU’s strategic priority to build a university for all by providing experiences for students, faculty and staff that focus on inclusive programming and educational opportunities.

And as new challenges related to COVID-19 arise, there’s opportunity to support students – who may be struggling to cover the basic resources – by contributing to the Frog Family Crisis Fund. Established in 2007, this fund provides immediate aid to students facing emergency or catastrophic situations that impair their ability to continue in school.

Wherever you choose to designate your gift, you will help us move forward together as Horned Frogs. #TCUtogether

Take the Lead On supporting students

In these challenging times, there has been a significant increase in students’ needs, and Horned Frogs have stepped up to help their fellow Frogs. We are thankful for the assistance already received from the TCU community.

Scholarships are needed now more than ever to support the 77 percent of TCU students who receive financial aid. This support is absolutely necessary for our continued ability to transform bright, talented students into ethical leaders and responsible citizens who will impact the world through their research, scholarship and creativity.

With all Horned Frogs taking the lead in whatever ways we can, we will help fulfill the critical, all-important mission that unites TCU, and become a force for the greater good.

"Being the first in my family to be able to graduate from college and pursue a bachelor’s degree meant a lot to me. I always knew I wanted to go to college and that the only way for me to pay was through scholarships. TCU has made a difference in my life by teaching me that there are no limits to my goals."

The TCU Alumni Band Association is a way for alumni to engage with past TCU band members and connect them together. Involvement with the organization includes activities and events, as well as supporting the current band needs in a variety of ways.

What are my options when donating to TCU to benefit the TCU Band?

• A contribution to the Ex-Bandsmen Excellence Fund will go towards the current support of the TCU Band for events such as receptions after concerts, meals after band practice, Band Hall of Fame plaques and other alumni events.
• A contribution to the Jim and Wyn Jacobsen Band Fund will support the band now and for the future. This endowment fund was started in 1998 in honor of Jim Jacobsen (aka Prof), former TCU Band Director, and his wife, Wyn. The fund has grown to over $200,000 and generates about $10,000 - $12,000 a year in distributions to the TCU Band. These distributions are for the discretionary use of the Director of Bands and have benefitted the Band in many different ways over the years - from helping to buy instruments, computer equipment, the production of CD’s, special performances, and special events for band members.

Thank you for your consideration and donation!

The BAA is so grateful for the great work of our past supporters who have sustained us over the last 20 years.

Philanthropy helps make TCU what it is, and your gift can help current TCU students build the same kind of memories that you did.

You can make a gift to anywhere on campus that is meaningful to you. We have highlighted some high-impact funds that can make a big difference with your $10 gift.

It is our goal to raise $100,000 in gifts and pledges to endow a named scholarship at TCU to celebrate the life and memory of Marcia Masenda Mack ’97. Pledges can be paid over a five-year period. (For information about gifts of stock or other inquiries, please contact Adam Baggs at A.Baggs@tcu.edu)

We will celebrate this fund and Marcia’s life November 20, 2021 at the TCU vs. Kansas football game by gathering at Cameron Cornelius’ Tailgate Lot 6, Spot 30 (backing onto the Kelly Center Lawn). Please contact Allison Rix (marciamemorial@yahoo.com) for further information.

Marcia Masenda Mack, of Round Rock, Texas went to be with the Lord on January 17, 2021; age 45. A devoted wife, daughter, sister, cousin, and friend, she was born in Harare, Zimbabwe to Hope and Solomon Masenda. Marcia graduated from Denton High School in Denton, Texas in 1993 where she excelled as a student, a cheerleader, and became proficient in Spanish. After graduating high school, she enrolled at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. During her years at TCU she continued to excel as a student of history and English and as a cheerleader. At TCU she developed her love of history and devotion for football. She was an avid fan of the TCU Horned Frogs. Go Frogs!

She began her career working at TCU working tirelessly raising funds for the school she loved. Marcia then became a highly successful sales representative in the pharmaceutical field. After several years as a sales rep, Marcia ventured out on her own and became owner and creative director for La Fete Chic, an event planning business.  

Marcia was a wonderful friend. Her love for others and her family is admirable. She hosted countless parties, weddings, and showers for her friends and family. Her vivacious personality, keen sense of humor, and giving spirit will be missed by many.

On December 8, 2012, Marcia married the love of her life Darrel Mack in Austin, Texas. She and Darrel shared a love of movies, food, and dogs.  

Even though Marcia was taken too soon, she lived an extraordinary life surrounded by people who adored her. Left to cherish her life is her close-knit family, a sprawling extended family, and a huge network of relatives and friends.

The community’s vital support provides for these Empathetic Scholars® throughout all four years of medical school, as well as helps attract visionary faculty who inspire, mentor and teach these future physicians throughout their journey.

Your annual gift at a level of $5,000 or more will be recognized through membership in both the School of Medicine Dean’s Council and the Clark Society of Donors. Members will receive invitations to special events, academic ceremonies and updates from the Dean throughout the year, becoming essential partners in the School of Medicine’s continued growth and success.

Your gift champions the Empathetic Scholar® at The Burnett School. Select an area of support based on your interests:

Core Mission Support (Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine)
Your gift will be applied to the highest needs of the school, supporting our mission to transform health care by inspiring Empathetic Scholars®.

Dean’s Opportunity Fund (Burnett School of Medicine - Dean's Restricted Fund)
The power of flexible funding allows the dean to direct funds where and when they are most needed: to support an innovative idea, seize an emerging opportunity or secure new equipment for faculty and programs. Even a small addition can make a world of difference for the student experience.

Simulation/Clinical Training Fund (Burnett School of Medicine: Simulation Education and Clinical Training)
Simulation-based training has become the gold standard in clinical education, bridging classroom learning and real-life clinical experience. Funding helps the Burnett School maintain and update clinical models and technology that are essential to providing an outstanding learning environment.

Student Scholarship Fund (Burnett School of Medicine Annual Scholarship)
Now more than ever, Fort Worth and Texas need talented physicians to meet the health care needs of our growing communities. The daunting cost of a medical education should not be an obstacle for ambitious and talented prospective students, and scholarships empower TCU to compete for the best of the best students for our Empathetic Scholar® Curriculum.

Student Research Support (School of Medicine Scholarly Pursuit and Thesis Program for Student Research)
Every student will complete a Scholarly Pursuit and Thesis (SPT) that is integrated throughout all four years of their Burnett School studies. The SPT allows students to acquire a skill set of evidence-based approaches to basic and clinical research. Funding sends students to research conferences to present and collaborate around findings, and offsets the expense of research work.

Student Well-Being Fund (Burnett School of Medicine THRIVE Wellness Program)
This fund supports the wellness platform (programs, coaching, events) for Burnett School students. We all know we need to care for ourselves in order to care for others. This balance is at the heart of our student wellness programming. Gifts help ensure our students thrive during their medical school experience.

Greg Treviño Memorial Scholarship

Greg Treviño began his TCU career as a student in 1991. He hit the ground running. He was an Orientation Student Assistant, Vice President of the Student Body in charge of programming, and a myriad of other positions that changed individuals and the campus community for the better.

Following graduation in 1995, Greg worked several years in the "corporate world," but was excited to return to campus as a member of the TCU Alumni Office Staff. By 2000, Greg had joined the Intercultural and Inclusiveness Office. He loved every minute he was there, making a difference in the lives of every student that passed through his door.

In a serious car accident on the evening of May 17, 2008, Greg died on May 27th. This scholarship was established to honor Greg, his character and his legacy.

Thank you for making a gift to TCU!

TCU Sports Clubs

Sport Clubs are recognized student organizations whose members wish to increase their involvement in a particular sport and compete at a higher level. Most current clubs compete in an organized local or regional league against other colleges and Universities. The student members create, administer and govern the clubs themselves, which provides them an opportunity to develop and enhance not only their athletic skills, but also their leadership and organizational skills.

TCU Campus Recreation and Wellness Promotion helps clubs in securing equipment, facilities and funds. Speaking of funds, if you would like to help support TCU Sport Clubs, you can make a donation below.

"I hope the word I use most often... is thanks. Bill Tucker may be getting a pat on the back, but I am merely representing a community that has succeeded. TCU is something that everyone should own, and claim, and celebrate."

- Chancellor Tucker

Chancellor Tucker was a visionary and beloved leader during a pivotal time of growth for TCU, 1979 - 1998. Dr. Tucker was a proud Horned Frog and was instrumental in taking TCU from a regional university to the highly regarded national university we are today.

Generations of Horned Frogs are fortunate to have had Chancellor Tucker as a leader who exemplified integrity, intelligence and grace. Even as we mourn, we also celebrate his life and legacy, and remain forever grateful for his leadership.

A New Narrative for College Mental Health

Four key objectives that every campus counseling center should obtain

In 2019, Dr. Eric Wood founded TCU's Comprehensive Collaborative Care Model. Within 3 years, the student counseling center rose to the rank of #4 Best Student Support and Counseling Services by the Princeton Review. The counseling center also managed an unprecedent rise in the demand for mental health services without requiring the university to spend significant amounts of money, or engaging in an expensive hiring blitz for new staff. Furthermore, Dr. Wood has trained over 100 universities and colleges in various aspects of his service delivery model.

Inspired by gracious donors, TCU's Counseling & Mental Health Center is proud to release Dr. Wood's seminal eBook, A New Narrative for College Mental Health: Four key objectives that every campus counseling center should obtain. This book highlights data-points and national trends, while detailing how collaborations with community and campus partners can significantly increase the capacity of any campus counseling center. 100% of the proceeds will help students receive specialize mental health services on campus.

You may choose to waive the benefit of receiving the eBook within the form. If you do not wish to waive the benefit, a link to the eBook will be sent to you in a separate email. The suggested minimum giving amount is $25.

Please allow one to two weeks for delivery.

Did you know?

More than 80% of undergraduate students receive financial aid throughout their time at TCU. Any size gift, when combined with others, makes a huge impact.

Burnett School Student Opportunity Fund

The Student Opportunity Gap

The Burnett School is committed to admitting students from diverse backgrounds in the belief that the composition of its student body should mirror our community. More than a third of our medical students identify in at least one diversity domain: first-generation to attend college, student workers who supported family before age 18, graduates of a rural or designated high school, members of the LGBTQ+ community, or persons of color. These talented and resilient students overcame multiple obstacles to achieve their dream of attending medical school, yet some of these same factors continue to limit their ability to capitalize on all the experiences available to them during their time at the Burnett School.

Extracurricular activities are a necessary component of success, but their accompanying expense isn’t covered by tuition or scholarships. One example is that selective residency programs value students who have experienced “away rotations” during their final year of medical school. Additionally, attendance at medical conferences and participation in national student organizations give students a broadened professional network and the opportunity to hone leadership skills. Local service and outreach projects empower current students to give back, and to bond with the community they will serve as physicians. Global outreach gives hands-on experience and a unique intercultural understanding of healthcare.

Maximize the Burnett School Experience

The Burnett School Student Opportunity Fund addresses these inequities by providing access to extracurricular experiences that are academically enriching and critical to building the skills that acclaimed residency programs require. The Student Opportunity Fund may subsidize travel, accommodations and fees to attend medical or research conferences, cover expenses to participate in community outreach or education programs, or underwrite “away rotations” at hospitals and clinics that host invited students preparing to apply for their residency match. In every case, the Fund will broaden a student’s experience and assist in their journey to become the empathetic and compassionate physician that patients and families need.

The Burnett School estimates that the average cost is $1500 per student, per experience. Eligible students must apply for support to a committee comprised of faculty leaders and co-chaired by the Assistant Dean of Students and Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Burnett School.

Your gift increases the opportunity for every student to maximize their medical school education, regardless of financial circumstances.

Build the Fund – Give Now

A gift of $1,500 funds a student opportunity. All gifts are welcome and will be used to support the student experience.

For additional information about this opportunity, or to discuss other ways to support the Burnett School, contact:

Campus Recreation & Wellness Promotion employs over 200 student workers. Part of the Department’s mission is to provide leadership and growth opportunities to students. This includes gaining certifications related to career growth, attendance at National or Regional Conferences, or participation in extramural sports tournaments. These student experiences are supported through a student development fund established through various gifts.

Students are at the forefront of the programs & services provided by Campus Recreation & Wellness Promotion. If you have participated as a student, employee or alumni, you have been impacted by the work of our student employees. If you would like to help support the growth and development of student employees, you can give below.

The Anatomage Table is the most technologically advanced 3D anatomy visualization system for anatomy and physiology education and is being adopted by the world’s leading health sciences, nursing, and medical schools. The Anatomage Table allows our students to learn on the only fully segmented real human 3D anatomy system in the world. Harris College students can visualize anatomy exactly as they would on a fresh cadaver. Individual structures are reconstructed in accurate 3D, resulting in an unprecedented level of real accurate anatomy, dissectible in 3D. Anatomy is presented as a fully interactive life-sized touch screen experience. The Table allows for exploration and learning of human anatomy beyond what any cadaver could offer.

As we all recognize, the Anatomage Table is a game-changer in anatomical education, providing an immersive and interactive learning experience for our students. Currently, with only one in Harris College, we are limited to how many students can utilize this impactful piece of technology. Our goal is to acquire an additional Anatomage Table specifically for Harris College students learning in the Bass building, and would contribute significantly to the anatomy courses in Nursing and Nurse Anesthesia.

To make this vision a reality, we are challenging YOU, the Harris College Board of Visitors, to lead the charge on a targeted fundraising campaign. We’ve set an ambitious goal to raise the necessary funds ($80,000) to acquire the Anatomage Table by the close of 2023.

Thank you for donating to the TCU Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development TBRI® Practitioner Training Award in memory of Callie Rhoads Lackey. Callie was a beloved TBRI® Practitioner and TBRI® champion. She was an alumna of Texas Christian University (TCU) and held Master’s degrees from both New York University (NYU) and the University of North Florida.

After bringing a child into her family through international adoption, Callie began her search for parenting strategies to help her child who had experienced much trauma. Her search led her back to her alma mater, TCU, and the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD). After completing TBRI® Practitioner Training, Callie realized she was meant to help more children than her son through TBRI®. Together with her husband, Karl, Callie started by meeting with adoptive and foster parents. The idea for Hope Street was birthed around her parents’ kitchen table one Christmas and evolved into a foundation through much prayer and struggle. By September 2021, Hope Street was training professionals throughout Jacksonville, FL serving in sectors such as the juvenile justice system, the foster care system, and Duval county school system - in the methods and practices of TBRI®.

Callie’s parents, Marsha and Vic Rhoads, have established this award as a way to continue her legacy. “Callie loved Jesus and she was a much-loved daughter, sister, wife, mom, and friend,” Marsha and Vic wrote. “She believed TBRI® was the method for bringing healing and hope to broken families. She is forever loved and deeply missed. Her essence moves forward in each of us.”

The TBRI® Practitioner Training Award in memory of Callie Rhoads Lackey will allow future TBRI Practitioners to follow in Callie’s footsteps. KPICD Rees-Jones Director, Dr. Danica Knight, said, “Callie’s tenacity and spirit made her a true TBRI Champion. Her personal passion for TBRI and Trauma-Informed Care has transformed countless lives, and continues to inspire the work happening in Florida and around the US. She is dearly missed by all of us at KPICD, and we are honored to continue her legacy by supporting efforts to create trauma-informed systems of care. We are so grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Rhoads for establishing this award.”

Make a gift, get a TCU luggage tag!

Make a one-time gift of $25 or $67 to make a direct impact on students.

When you make a one-time gift of $25 or $67, you will be contributing to our Student Success fund, plus you will receive a distinctive TCU luggage tag for your generosity.

This is your window of opportunity, but it won’t last long. Our luggage tags move fast, so please make your gift to receive one while supplies last.
 

*We have limited quantities of the luggage tags and may run out before the end of April, so please make your gift now!

**Limit one luggage tag per gift. For contributions of $67 or more, according to available tax guidance, the item received in exchange for your contribution is considered to be a “low-cost article” and therefore your entire contribution is considered a charitable gift. For contributions of $25 but less than $67, the donor will receive a luggage tag. Per IRS guidelines, the charitable portion of your contribution must be reduced by the fair market value of the item, which is $2.72 for each luggage tag.

Thank you for making a gift to support the Starpoint School at TCU!

Ed Landreth Hall Renovation

Project Overview & Deliverables

TCU is undertaking a comprehensive renovation of the Ed Landreth Hall and Auditorium to establish a world-class creative center for students, faculty and staff in the College of Fine Arts. Situated at the north corner of South University Drive and West Cantey Street, this facility will feature state-of-the-art rehearsal spaces, classrooms, theatres and other essential amenities to enhance the award-winning Department of Theatre, School for Classical & Contemporary Dance (SCCDance) and School of Music. The completion date for the renovation is yet to be set, though it is estimated for 2027.

Named after E.A. Landreth, a TCU Trustee from 1940 to 1960, the 79,300 square-foot facility was completed in 1948 and is the oldest building on campus to not have undergone any significant improvements. This renovation is integral to the future success of the College of Fine Arts and TCU’s commitment to strengthen our academic profile and reputation to advance artistic and creative expression among students, faculty and staff.

• Expansion for Growth: Additional classrooms and faculty offices to accommodate growth in the theatre and music programs, College of Fine Arts and the university as a whole.
• Specialized Spaces: New costume studio, construction space, black box theatre, musical theatre dance studio, design lab, computer lab and outdoor stage.
• Enhancements to Theatre: Redesigned Jerita Foley Buschman Theatre with increased wing space, proscenium, fly tower, orchestra pit and larger seating, plus, acoustical treatment for improved sound.
• Student-Focused Facilities: Redesigned and expanded dressing rooms, restrooms, green room/student lounge and rehearsal spaces.
• New Technology: New/upgraded technology in classrooms and theatres, recording/film studio for music and theatre (dependent on additional fundraising).
• Storage and Practical Facilities: Additional storage for equipment, instruments, props and a construction space for set building and painting.
• Community Impact: The new and renovated performance and rehearsal spaces will enhance our ability to further establish community partners and host a variety of performing groups on our campus in a way that is not possible in the hall’s current capacity.

The project is primarily financed by TCU, which allows philanthropic efforts on behalf of the college to continue to prioritize enhanced student, program, faculty and technology needs. With that in mind, the building can provide an array of recognition opportunities for those making leadership gifts supporting any of these priorities during its construction period. By choosing to support the College of Fine Arts, you’re investing in our mission to nurture arts innovation and creativity on the TCU campus and in our broader community.
