Values In Action Blog

Innovation at TCU is no longer an idea — it’s a network. Launching this fall, the TCU Innovation Network connects students, faculty, industry, and the community through workshops, master classes, competitions, and corporate innovation weeks. From entrepreneurial journeys to cutting-edge technologies, this series of programs will fuel creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration across campus and North Texas.

TCU’s LEAD ON: Values in Action Strategic Plan sets four bold 2035 targets—growing its student body to 20,000, increasing research spending by 10% annually, winning 30 championships, and deepening community partnerships—and launches in FY26 with concrete milestones like enrolling 2,850 freshmen, boosting research expenditures to $28 million, and breaking ground on new facilities and programs to accelerate student success, innovation, and engagement.
