PROGRAMS

The Texas Lyceum seeks to:

  • Identify and develop the next generation of top leadership in the State of Texas
  • Educate its Directors by identifying and exploring the interrelationships of the major issues facing Texas
  • Help bring a better understanding of these issues to the state’s key decision makers
  • Promote an appreciation of the responsibilities of stewardship of the values, traditions, and resources of Texas.

To accomplish our mission, the Lyceum holds an annual Public Conference, conducts the nationally acclaimed Texas Lyceum Poll, and convenes programs at which Directors explore and discuss the key economic and social issues facing the state and nation. The Lyceum also cultivates the next generation of Texas leadership through its scholarship and fellowship programs.

Texas Lyceum Poll

To better understand public opinion, The Texas Lyceum commissions an annual survey on the critical policy issues facing Texans. The mission of the Lyceum Poll is straightforward: produce a professional, nonpartisan, high-quality, scientific survey that provides the public with specific data points on issues of interest and a time series of key demographics, attitudes, and opinions. Learn more
