🎥 The Fans Vintage Crib Tour
This Homecoming, we’re highlighting alumni success stories like Lindsey Dixon, MBA ‘20, founder and owner of Fans Vintage.

What started as a class project while pursuing her MBA TCU has become a growing business with a permanent home near campus. In her Venture Ideas course, taught by instructor and William M. Dickey Entrepreneur in Residence Michael Sherrod, Dixon was challenged to launch a profitable business in 90 days. That idea would eventually become Fans Vintage.

But the journey from classroom idea to storefront has been one of perseverance and persistence. Dixon recalls 18- to 20-hour game days, loading and unloading a mobile boutique, years of pop-ups and a three-year search for a permanent space.

“It took three years and seven other spaces falling through to get to this spot,” Dixon said.

Today, Fans Vintage has opened its first permanent storefront on West Berry Street, creating more than a place to shop. Dixon sees an opportunity to build a gathering place where fans can connect with TCU history, each other and the stories behind one-of-a-kind pieces. That community-centered vision has been part of Fans Vintage’s evolution from class project to a scalable concept.

And through every stage, Dixon points back to the people who helped make it possible. “My passion carried us a really long way, but to be able to get to the point of having a storefront would never have happened without the support of our fans,” she expressed.

This Homecoming, TCU Alumni and fans everywhere can see the next chapter for themselves. Stop by Fans Vintage at 2419 W. Berry St. in Fort Worth to explore pieces of TCU history and a business that shows just how far one idea can go.

Go Frogs.

What is ghost data? Swipe through.

Typically referred to as dark data, this is information that already exists but may never get connected or put to work. Hospitals alone leave an estimated 97% of their data unused.

Stephen Gillett, chairman and CEO of Verily Health, puts it this way: “The power plants are there, but the power lines connecting them are down.”

Starbucks. Best Buy. Chronicle Security. Now Verily. He has spent his career connecting complex systems to real-world impact. He’s also a former World of Warcraft guild master, according to WIRED. Ask him about it.

Hear from him in conversation with Dean Craig Crossland at the next Tandy Executive Speaker Series.

AI innovation at TCU isn’t hypothetical. You can call it. Watch TCU 360 journalist Andrew Guyer put Bakame™ AI to the test for a live demo.

TCU students Diarra Niang and Happy Niyorurema built Bakame AI, an AI-powered education system designed to expand access to learning in communities where reliable internet may be unavailable or unaffordable.

Rather than relying on broadband or a smartphone, users can call a phone number and interact with an AI-powered learning assistant through basic telephone networks.

It’s one example of what can happen when TCU students have the knowledge, resources and opportunity to build with emerging technology.

Giving is open for TCU Gives Day. When 375 people make a gift to any TCU Neeley designation, it will unlock $25,000 for the Neeley AI Forward Initiative - advancing work to prepare students, faculty and the broader community for ethical, responsible engagement with artificial intelligence.

Pitch in today, and spread the word to help us rally 375 supporters for what TCU students build next. Every gift, no matter the amount, moves us closer to our goal. Link in comments.

More than seven years of learning Mandarin prepared Jackson "Jax" Bredy for more than just conversation. This summer, his passion-driven studies helped open the door to an international business internship in China.

Jax, a senior marketing major with minors in Chinese and global business, teamed up with AJ Hewett, a senior finance major with a minor in Chinese, for an internship with Aidite, a global dental products manufacturer.

The dynamic duo spent several weeks in Qinhuangdao, China, at Aidite headquarters learning about its products and operations, engaging with professionals from around the world, and gaining insight to support the company’s expansion into the U.S. market.

Throughout the summer, they applied their skills to tackle a project examining marketing and resource allocation for Aidite’s U.S. market expansion.

Jax previously studied abroad in Shanghai, but says his global internship experience helped bring different dimensions of his education together. Lessons in professional etiquette came to life during international business gatherings, while his Mandarin skills gave him greater independence to explore Qinhuangdao and experience everyday life beyond the office.

Jax specifically credits the Chinese and Modern Language faculty at TCU AddRan College of Liberal Arts with helping him understand cultural norms and dynamics. “Those courses really helped me read the room during company engagements,” he said.

For AJ, the internship marked his first experience in Asia, giving him a chance to put his Chinese studies into practice while tackling a real-world business challenge alongside a fellow Horned Frog.

The TCU Neeley Career Center identified these talented students and connected them with this unique opportunity at the intersection of business, language and culture.

The Neeley Near & Far series highlights the experiences and impact of Neeley students and alumni across the globe.

What happens when students are handed an energy challenge and asked to find a path forward?

Orphaned: Inside the Forgotten Wells of Corpus Christi Bay follows a team of Ralph Lowe Energy Institute at the Neeley School of Business students as they investigate aging oil and gas wells hidden beneath the waters of the Texas coast.

Through the Institute, students spent the summer taking their education into the field — traveling to Corpus Christi Bay, meeting people who experience the realities of legacy wells firsthand, conducting research and developing recommendations to address the challenge.

Their journey ultimately took them to Austin, where they presented their findings and recommendations to state leaders.

Produced in collaboration with Collide, Orphaned tells the story of a complex Texas energy challenge through the people confronting it and the TCU students working to understand what comes next.
