Honoring the Life and Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Texas Christian University commemorates and acknowledges the life and legacy of a transformational leader on Monday, January 18, 2021. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sought racial equality and justice and made unfailing advantages for civil rights in that country. We honor and acknowledge his many contributions to the world.

Black Lives Matter

We honor the legacies of black men and women who have been killed and say their names: George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Atatiana Jefferson, Botham Jean, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, and far too many more.

Moving Forward

Over the past two years, the Office of Diversity & Inclusion and the DEI Committee have made progress toward making TCU a more inclusive campus. The increase in learning and development opportunities, mandatory selection committee training and the initiative to implement the DEI essential competency in the core curriculum are a few milestones. We’ve made much progress but have much more work to do. We’ll continue to build a stronger and more inclusive community as we strive for inclusive excellence. It takes ALL of us to achieve success.
