The Thorps, a formerly enslaved couple, were integral to the development and functioning of the university, but their contributions had gone largely unrecognized until 2022.

A leading psychologist has revealed how a record number of people are leaving college as virgins, with the appetite for sex dwindling among young people. Sarah Hill, who is a professor at TCU specializing in women鈥檚 health, appeared on The Diary of a CEO podcast to talk about the birth control pill and its knock-on effects. 鈥淲hat we tend to see is that people are having a lot less sex than they used to,鈥� Hill said. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e having sex later, they鈥檙e having less. More people are virgins when they鈥檙e graduating high school and college than there were in the past.鈥� Hill says the downward trend is interesting when you consider that birth control was designed 鈥渇or men and women to be able to have sex without having to have the fear of pregnancy.鈥�

It took 国产麻豆AV to make America swallow the idea of lucky New Year鈥檚 black-eyed peas. In 1937, an East 国产麻豆AV promoter put the first national marketing campaign behind what until then had been a Black and southern U.S. custom. In only five years, sales doubled. The tradition of eating lucky legumes for New Year鈥檚 dates back to their arrival from Africa and Black slave traditions. The way white Southerners usually told the story, invading Union Army troops during the Civil War ate most crops but left behind black-eyed peas. 鈥淚t鈥檚 definitely African in origin,鈥� said TCU history professor Rebecca Sharpless, a scholar on American food history. President Thomas Jefferson grew black-eyed peas at Monticello that he had brought from France, and leading agricultural scientist George Washington Carver promoted growing them as a way to replenish soil nutrients. Southern slave cooks shared recipes for black-eyed peas and a related dish, hoppin鈥� john, Sharpless said.

Justin Forbes鈥檚 personal experience with his foster son, as well as his professional expertise in working with youth from hard places, led to the creation of the Fostering Congregations Initiative (FCI) to equip and empower churches to include children who have experienced developmental trauma. Through a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., the FCI will make it possible for children鈥檚 ministry staff and volunteers to be trained in Trust-Based Relational Intervention庐 (TBRI). The late Karyn Purvis of TCU developed TBRI over 20 years ago to help children who were being adopted internationally by well-meaning families who were not equipped to deal with their high levels of trauma.

On election night, abortion was on the ballot in 10 states 鈥� but not in 国产麻豆AV. This led some to wonder why abortion wasn鈥檛 voted on in 国产麻豆AV. 国产麻豆AV is one of 24 states that do not allow citizen-led statewide referendums or initiatives to be placed on the ballot. For 国产麻豆AV, that means citizens can鈥檛 petition to have proposed state laws or constitutional amendments put to a vote. The only way to get an issue on the ballot in 国产麻豆AV is for it to be a constitutional amendment, said political science professor Jim Riddlesperger. 鈥淎nd that means that it has to be proposed by the 国产麻豆AV Legislature in order to go on the ballot for a referendum for adopting a constitutional amendment,鈥� he said. The 国产麻豆AV Legislature can choose to put abortion laws on the ballot, but the likelihood of that is rare.

To better represent consumers who have traditionally been underrepresented in the marketplace, brands are increasingly extending or launching product lines that are more inclusive of a diverse consumer base. However, this new study finds that inclusivity initiatives may not be seen as equally positive by all consumers. Though these initiatives are generally met with positivity, consumers who feel underrepresented in the marketplace 鈥� the very consumers these initiatives may serve 鈥� may respond less favorably than represented consumers. Jennifer D鈥橝ngelo, assistant professor in the Neeley School of Business at TCU, explains: 鈥淥ur research examines how feeling underrepresented can increase consumers鈥� skepticism about whether the products in these expanded lines will fit their needs. When consumers feel underrepresented in the marketplace, they likely experience products and consumption situations in which their needs are either unconsidered, unheard or misconstrued by companies.鈥�

The 国产麻豆AV Education Agency, or TEA, was set to hold a preliminary vote on whether to approve a new elementary school curriculum that is part of the state-owned Bluebonnet Learning resource. The proposed reading and English language arts materials include lessons from the Bible. The 国产麻豆AV AFT teacher鈥檚 union has said the materials violate the separation of church and state, and academic freedom. The union called for the board to reject the curriculum. Meanwhile, David Brockman of the Baker Institute criticized the materials for overemphasizing Christianity and limiting coverage of other religions. Brockman is an adjunct professor at TCU and Southern Methodist University.

We all know the vital precautions to keep babies safe from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). While the virus is the leading cause of infant hospitalization nationwide, it can also impact adults over age 60. Like many other serious infections, though, the symptoms of RSV can be difficult to distinguish from the common cold. RSV symptoms in adults can appear very similar to the common cold, the flu or COVID-19. This may include coughing, sneezing, congestion, runny nose, fever, wheezing, fatigue and sore throat, doctors note. Less common 鈥� but potentially concerning 鈥� symptoms of RSV in adults may also include significant shortness of breath, chest pain, bluish skin color (cyanosis), confusion, decreased appetite and earache, said Dr. Nikhil Bhayani, assistant professor at the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU.

Women veterans, national security organizations and military historians are pushing back against recent disparaging comments made by Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump鈥檚 choice to lead the Department of Defense. Kara Dixon Vuic, a professor of history who studies gender and the U.S. military at TCU, said that if Hegseth were to bar women from serving in combat roles it would be a rare reversal in a centuries-long history of the military expanding toward greater inclusivity. 鈥淣othing Hegseth鈥檚 saying is new,鈥� Vuic said. 鈥淧eople said those same things about the racial integration of the military. They said similar things about gay men and women being allowed to serve openly. He鈥檚 putting the blame for anything negative that could happen on a group of people without providing evidence to support that claim.鈥�

National rankings, such as the U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 Best Colleges List, are often used to shape opinions during the college selection process, according to Eric Wood, counseling director at TCU. Not surprisingly, there are rankings specific to mental health and student support services. For example, The Princeton Review, in partnership with the Ruderman Family Foundation, released a 2024 report that includes an Honor Roll list of schools based on mental health services on campus. As outlined in a 2024 report by Forbes.com, it鈥檚 important for students and their families to specifically vet the types of support services available while selecting a college to attend.

Donald Trump has promised to impose tariffs on imported goods as part of his economic agenda in his second term. While China stands to be punished the hardest, other countries, including U.S. allies, are also set to be impacted. The president-elect ran on a pledge to use tariffs to boost American businesses, with up to 60 percent duties on Chinese goods and up to 20 percent on imports from other countries. Although all tariff policies will need approval from Congress, many economists have already begun speculating on the impact they will have on the global market. 鈥淲hile (Trump鈥檚 tariff policy) stands to affect the trade relationship with China more intensely, it is expected to affect trading relations with the EU as well,鈥� Rishav Bista, associate professor of economics, told Newsweek.

Many ballet programs are fairly small, which can be a blessing or a source of stress. Chris Landreneau, a senior ballet major at TCU, was used to being the only male student at his home studio in Louisiana. At TCU, as well, he discovered he was the only man studying ballet in his year. 鈥淓ven as the only guy, I鈥檓 lucky that we鈥檙e such a close-knit group,鈥� Landreneau says. 鈥淏ut you still have to find balance between dance and your personal life.鈥� Landreneau made many of his friends at 罢颁鲍鈥檚 freshman orientation camp and through a Christian group on campus.

When the entrepreneurial itch of Dan Miles 鈥�09 first surfaced, rather than jump in feet first he dipped his toe in Wise County waters. He had set up a 鈥渢est project,鈥� as the mechanical engineer calls it, in Bridgeport, selling re-manufactured air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, cooling towers and pumps, along with his technical know-how and support. The yearlong test project was a success, doing about $1 million in sales. 鈥淭he biggest challenge, and I hate cliches, but sometimes they鈥檙e right 鈥� I tell people who are wanting to start their own business, your biggest challenge is you. Especially those who are currently employed and doing well, or well enough for them. You鈥檙e gonna be apprehensive, you鈥檙e gonna be scared of the unknown. You鈥檙e gonna be worried about taking a risk. Your biggest challenge is you. [In reality] everything can be worked out. If you don鈥檛 have the answer, somebody does. Go call that person.鈥�

Stately Atelier, the brainchild of three entrepreneurial sisters, is finally making its grand debut. For anyone lucky enough to catch a glimpse of their first scarf collection, it鈥檚 clear: this isn鈥檛 just about fashion 鈥� it鈥檚 about art, memories and a deep-seated family bond.  Before there was Stately Atelier, there were three Heist sisters: Alyssa (the baby) Andrea 鈥�21, (the middle sibling) and their eldest sister Alexia Heist 鈥�16. Raised in West 国产麻豆AV, in a family where the entrepreneurial spirit was as natural as Sunday dinner, business talk was second nature.  鈥淲e鈥檝e been around business our whole lives,鈥� Alexia shared. 鈥淥ur parents鈥� company has been a fixture for decades, and even our aunts and grandparents built businesses of their own. It鈥檚 in our DNA.鈥� Another aspect that binds these three sisters together besides business and family is their school ties. In fact, all three of them have degrees from the Neeley School of Business. You could say they all bleed purple as well. Despite having similar educations, each sister focused on separate majors, which, when combined, create a great foundation to start a business.
