Candid Conversation: Creating a Higher Education Hub in Tarrant County

TCU has long been Fort Worth's home team, but the higher education landscape is shifting. Two new major developments include the Texas A&M downtown campus and the University of Texas at Arlington's new campus in west Fort Worth.

The pressing question our panelists will address: How do we build a higher education hub and why?

On August 19, our panel of leaders and experts will discuss the opportunity local leaders have described as a game-changer for our future.
