Published Jan 20, 2011

Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington discovered in a study that although students believed faculty members could highly impact their professional development, students had not spent much time interacting with their professors.

Jaywalkers should consider others’ time

Published Jan 20, 2011

You're in a rush to class because you're late. The traffic light is green and there is a car coming.

You cross the street anyway, making it necessary for the driver to come to a stop. You are followed by a posse of other students who cross the street at their leisure, stopping even more traffic.

Professors offer valuable insight

Published Jan 20, 2011

I've heard it more than once or twice: TCU stands out from other schools due to many things, but one is the faculty-to-student ratio that leads to closer and more personal attention for the students.

It's a natural reaction of mine to boast about the relationship between students and teachers when comparing TCU to big public schools. Frankly, I love coming from a school where the professors know their students' names. Even more, they know what organizations they're involved in or where they're from.
