Executive-in-Residence

Main Content

Innovative business leaders – right next door.

We recognize the importance and value of providing our students with real-world, practical training to be successful in today’s marketplace. We welcome high-profile senior executives across industries to the TCU campus for an entire semester through our endowed Neeley School Executive-in-Residence program. From technology and health care to financial services and consulting, these executives share their hands-on experience, challenges and insights that go beyond the books.

The program provides an opportunity for students to learn firsthand from seasoned professionals and a rewarding experience for executives to help shape tomorrow’s business leaders. An executive-in-residence provides mentoring and career coaching, leads classroom lectures and discussions, serves as adjunct faculty, and elevates the network and profile of the business school and the greater North Texas business community.
