 My name is Michael Drake '18, and I am the new Denver Alumni Chapter President.
I'm hoping to put together a newsletter regularly to update folks on professional development opportunities, highlight cool things fellow Frogs are doing in Colorado, and more.
I won't be able to do this alone - so if you're interested in being highlighted or have any feedback I'd love that. Feel free to email me at michaeljdrake1@gmail.com God bless and Go Frogs!

 The TCU Alumni Association has created a place where we can help each other. It’s called Horned Frogs Connect. This is a virtual space where alumni can share industry tips, post or find a job, connect with the TCU community across all disciplines, and share alumni-owned businesses in our business directory.
In these extraordinary times, Horned Frogs are looking to the TCU Alumni Association for vital resources. Eighty-seven percent of TCU alumni utilizing this rapidly growing platform are raising their hand to help fellow Horned Frogs.
This is a great time to join Horned Frogs Connect and help make the TCU community even stronger.
