Texas Christian University today announced that the College of Science & Engineering (CSE) will be named the Louise Dilworth Davis College of Science & Engineering in honor of Louise Dilworth Davis ’77 and her extraordinary generosity to the university and the college.
Louise Dilworth Davis of San Antonio has given $40 million, the largest philanthropic investment in the college’s 25-year history, to support CSE’s strategic plan and operations in perpetuity. The gift will also endow the deanship, which will now be named the Louise Dilworth Davis Dean.
“Mrs. Davis’ gift sends a powerful message to the TCU community that our academic experience, the quality of our students, and the excellence of our teaching and scholarly pursuits are second to none,” TCU Provost Floyd L. Wormley Jr. said. “This investment by a TCU alumna and Horned Frog family in the College of Science & Engineering accelerates undergraduate and graduate research and investment in professions like engineering, computer sciences, pre-health pathways and other areas of growth for TCU. With this gift, our mission for education, innovation and service has an even stronger trajectory into the future.”
