TCU receives historic $40 million gift, will rename its second-largest college​

By Fousia Abdullahi

TCU’s College of Science and Engineering received a historic $40 million gift from 1977 graduate Louise Dilworth Davis of San Antonio to support the strategic plan and operations of the university.

According to TCU, this the largest philanthropic investment in the college’s history.

In honor of the gift, the college will be renamed the Louise Dilworth Davis College of Science and Engineering.

“Seldom does one individual have the opportunity to transform thousands of lives through a single act of generosity and vision, yet Louise Davis has done precisely that for current and future TCU scientists and engineers,” T. Dwayne McCay, the college’s interim dean, said in a statement.

Great gift.... But come on... the school of engineering isn't that important, this should go to Football (NIL)... Right? Don't they know that so many people's lives (especially on KFC) revolve around FB... And unless we're undefeated, then we stink.

$40 million could buy some really good offensive linemen.

Maybe they can use the funds to begin a CSE cloning program for OL. Get some of McKinney's DNA this weekend.
