Partnerships

TWU students shaking hands

Why This Initiative Matters

Partnerships are necessary for sharing mutual interests and goals that maximize resources in meeting the mission and vision of Texas Woman's. Partnerships matter in order to provide a cohesive voice to internal and external stakeholders of the institution and leverage the uniqueness of the knowledge, skills and expertise of faculty, staff and partners. By fostering and engaging in strategic partnerships, we can better prepare students for the challenges of a rapidly changing world and impact the success of our students in a global society.

Scope of the Initiative

Texas Woman's will be engaged in meaningful partnerships that demonstrates its commitment to educating and empowering students, in addition to enhancing the collaborative work environment for faculty and staff. We will define the types of partnerships that our institution is currently engaged in as well as seek to establish relationships with potential collaborators that complement Texas Woman's overall mission and vision. This initiative will foster communication and strengthen relationships throughout our university system and create a lasting impact on our communities.
