Looking back
This spring featured comings and goings throughout the campus.

Whether it was the loss of a coaching legend and a friendly face from the TCU Police or the arrival of Lorne Michaels’ Burly Bear network with “Almost Legal,” this semester brought with it many ups and downs.

TCU celebrated diversity with the Latin American Arts Festival, which brought to TCU world-famous composers, performers and artists from around the globe.

Students were left questioning their safety after the sexual assault of a student in the Bellaire Condominiums.

The Board of Trustees approved plans for a woman’s softball team, while the Common Undergraduate Curriculum dominated discussions of the Faculty Senate.

From snow to tornadoes, a prime minister visit to new campus policies, the spring was hardly a dull semester.

So without further ado, here’s a look back at the past semester in pictures.
