The Sid W. Richardson Foundation recently donated $170,000 to the College of Education and the College of Science and Engineering to help local elementary and high school teachers generate more interest in math and science.

Cuong Nguyen used his business strategy to compete with students across the country, and it's all thanks to advice from his family.

Nguyen said he came to TCU last semester from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where he had begun studying electrical engineering and computer science.

A study conducted by members of the kinesiology department found that of young women who don't exercise regularly, those who complete a single bout of exercise may improve their metabolism, indicating that any exercise can be useful in controlling triglycerides.

The study, published in the February edition of the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, reported that women who exercised before eating a meal high in carbohydrates reduced the elevation of triglycerides in their bodies.
