TCU Black Alumni Alliance College Prep Event tells local high schoolers that college is within reach.
Leon Reed ’97 grew up in the shadow of TCU, but few in his neighborhood dreamed of attending the nearby campus. That’s why Reed — who headed to law school this fall — and eight other alumni spent one Saturday morning in July talking to kids about college during the TCU Black Alumni Alliance College Prep Event. The three-hour session drew nearly 20 high school students and their parents from the Como neighborhood in Fort Worth. Said event organizer Rosena Clarke-Turner ’85: “We wanted to let them know that going to TCU is an attainable goal for them and other students of color.”
