Texas Christian University Development

Hello Frog Fam!

I continue to be incredibly energized by the future of Block T and grateful for the support I’ve received from colleagues, letterwinners, and the broader TCU community. The encouragement and willingness to lean in have been both affirming and motivating.

Thank you to everyone who has already taken time to complete the Block T survey. Your feedback is invaluable and will directly shape how we move forward. I’ll be scheduling another Zoom call soon to share key insights from the results, introduce new initiatives, and outline how we’ll use the data to guide our work. If you haven’t yet completed the survey, it will remain open, we’d still love to hear from you. Click here for the BLOCK T ASSOCIATION SURVEY.

I’m also excited to share that Jack Stein will be joining Block T as our Graduate Assistant beginning Monday. Jack earned his undergraduate business degree from TCU and is currently pursuing his M.S. in Supply Chain Management. He currently serves as a GA for Special Teams with TCU Football and we’re looking forward to the perspective, energy, and passion he will bring to our work.

Lastly, I’m close to finalizing our Advisory Board and Selection Committee members for the upcoming year. We have a strong and diverse group ready to serve, and I’m excited to bring everyone together for a virtual kickoff meeting later this month.

There’s a lot of good work ahead and we’re just getting started.
