COVER STORY

their place in the Horned Frog community. He told them the TCU community nourishes respect, dialogue, and
thoughtful conversation.
Carlo Capua, the president of the
TCU National Alumni Association, told
the Class of 2020 how important it is to
connect with each other.
Students who have the most enriching and successful experiences in college
are the ones who plug themselves in,
Capua said.
The TCU Marching Band played
throughout the event. They struck the
fight song as Gary Patterson approached.
In his excitement for the new class,
Patterson veered from his prepared
remarks. His excitement was reciprocated by the students.
