 3. Enjoy a stroll around campus to see the changing fall leaves. Walking the entire perimeter of the campus is a mile and allows you to see what has stayed the same and what has changed. You can also stop by the TXWES sign in front of the library for a photo. And if weather permits, there are picnic tables on Kay Granger Mall that would be a perfect place for a sack lunch. 

Bonus: TXWES is the site of the Funkytown Mindful Market the first Saturday of every month with the mission to increase food access in East Fort Worth. The market hosts demonstrations and highlights local vendors that bring culturally relevant activities, products, and services that help community members live their best and most authentic selves. Learn more about it HERE.
