At TWU, we celebrate diversity and lived experience as these are drivers for innovation, and we believe bringing new perspectives to previously intractable problems is the secret of our success.

Texas Woman’s is proud to celebrate Black History Month in February and the legacy of our Black faculty, staff, students and alumni throughout the year.

We invite you to check out the various events planned in honor of Black History Month and read the stories below about people in the TWU community who make a difference.
