Our program has partnered with TCU Admissions to provide an asset for high school students in their college search process. We are working to aid high school seniors by creating an environment that allows Frog Shadow Mentors to give them a transparent view into what it means to be a Horned Frog. By providing an opportunity for potential students to shadow a student, spend time with them in a classroom, in the cafeteria, and in their everyday environment, they are given a further insight that will help them in their college search.
