About the Forum
The John V. Roach Honors College at TCU has the privilege of presenting the Fogelson Honors Forum through a $1 million gift from the estates of E.E. “Buddy” Fogelson and his wife, Greer Garson. The Forum brings renowned speakers, eminent scholars, and professional practitioners to campus to address TCU students, staff, and faculty, as well as the Fort Worth-Dallas community. Past speakers have included writer and actor Ben Stein; medical news correspondent Sanjay Gupta; politicians Jeb Bush and Bill Bradley; best-selling author Amy Tan; education advocate Diane Ravitch; Peabody Award winning creators of the “Serial” podcast, Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder; scientist, engineer, comedian, author, and inventor Bill Nye; renowned scholar of cultural history and technology, Cathy N. Davidson; basketball legend and best-selling author, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; human rights barrister Amal Clooney; internationally-recognized chef and philanthropist, José Andrés; and entrepreneur and jewelry designer, Kendra Scott.
The trustees of the E.E. Fogelson and Greer Garson Charitable Foundation of Dallas selected the Honors College as a recipient of the generous grant because of Fogelson’s association with TCU. A successful oilman and rancher, Buddy Fogelson attended TCU in 1919 and 1920. Upon his death, the trustees donated his vast rock collection to TCU, where it is currently displayed in the Geology department.
Greer Garson and Buddy Fogelson were generous throughout their lives to social, educational, and artistic causes, and extremely dedicated to their home state of Texas. TCU is grateful that the name of E.E. Fogelson will be forever associated with the Fogelson Honors Forum.
