    TCU Welcomes a New Provost

    President Daniel Pullin interviews Dr. Floyd Wormley, Jr., Texas Christian University’s Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, discussing his TCU journey, leadership vision and commitment to academic excellence. Dr. Wormley reflects on the university’s new LEAD ON: Values in Action strategic plan and the transformative role of research in shaping future leaders. “One reason I love working with undergraduate students is that they come so excited and curious. They ask great questions that have never been thought of before,” says Wormley. “Years later, when they have their own research labs and send me pictures of their families, I see the impact we’ve had. It’s the best job on earth.” The podcast conversation highlights TCU’s values-driven leadership, interdisciplinary collaboration and equipping students with hands-on experiences that extend beyond the classroom. “Being involved in research or scholarship and creative activity allows students to live out what we teach them in the classroom. It shows employers that they are prepared on day one for whatever they want to do,” Wormley continues.

    On Air with KTCU: 60+ Years of Student Success

    KTCU Co-Managers Geoffrey Craig and Janice McCall share their passion for student success and digital media with President Daniel W. Pullin in this latest episode of TCU Innovates. Celebrating its 60th anniversary of being on the FM frequency in 2024, KTCU has been a part of the digital media transformation. One thing that hasn’t changed – keeping the focus on student success. “The biggest thing is the hands-on experience. Students get in here from day one and get experience, to know the equipment and understand how things run. It’s more of a show and tell instead of sitting and watching us do all the work,” McCall says. Craig continues, “When students join KTCU, we are going to teach them not just the rules of the FCC or how far the microphone is supposed to be from your face, but how to write better, communicate better, and feel more confident in everything they do. It’s not just radio and talking on the radio. It’s the learning aspect. It’s the growth aspect. It’s the mentorship aspect. All of that comes together at this radio station.”
