Where Open Doors Open Minds

TCU honors the life and legacy of Carroll “C.A.” Quarles, Professor Emeritus of Physics & Astronomy, who dedicated more than 50 years to teaching, mentoring and inspiring generations of Horned Frogs. A proud member of the TCU community, Quarles reflected on his career by saying that TCU had given him “a lifelong career doing what I loved to do: teach, mentor and be involved with students.” His impact continues through the many students he guided and through the scholarship he and his wife, Sonja, established to support future physics and astronomy students. TCU extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and former students.
