Amy Hailey ’89 and Clint Hailey ’88 are proud to be one of this year’s Harris College of Nursing challenge donors. For the Hailey family, TCU is more than a university. It’s a family tradition spanning generations.
“My connection to Texas Christian University spans generations, making it much more than a university to our family,” Amy shared. “My parents attended TCU, my brother attended TCU and both my husband and I are proud TCU alumni. Today, all three of our children attend TCU, with our youngest beginning his freshman year, continuing a family tradition that has become a meaningful part of who we are.”
The Haileys’ connection to TCU extends beyond their time as students. They remain actively engaged with the university community and are passionate about creating opportunities for today’s Horned Frogs.
“Giving back to TCU is important to us because we see the value it creates not only for current and future students but also for the broader community,” Amy said. “We are honored to invest in an institution that has given so much to our family and look forward to supporting the Horned Frog community for generations to come.”
As challenge donors, Amy and Clint are helping inspire others to join them in making an impact for Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences students.

Valerie Weyand ’81 is proud to be this year’s Miller Speech and Hearing Clinic challenge donor. After more than 40 years as a speech-language pathologist, Valerie’s commitment to serving others continues to shape both her professional and personal life.
“One of the greatest benefits of my experience at TCU was the opportunity to engage in supervised clinical practice as an undergraduate, offering me an early picture of my eventual life’s work and preparing me well for graduate studies,” Valerie shared. “As TCU continues clinical experiences for undergrad students, and benefits the clients whom they serve, I am delighted to contribute to the Miller Speech and Hearing Clinic, and I hope you will join me in supporting this good and important work.”
Through her career as a speech-language pathologist, training as a sign language interpreter and advocacy for quality deaf education, Valerie has remained committed to helping others. Today, she continues that work through her professional service, church involvement and support of the next generation of speech-language professionals.
Please note that any gifts made before Oct. 6 will still count toward this challenge. Your early contribution is greatly appreciated and will be recognized once TCU Gives Day officially starts at noon on Oct. 6!
