Of the many traditions at Texas Wesleyan University, few are more cherished than the annual Alumni Medal Dinner. The event celebrates the excellence and success of our alumni – and those who are so dedicated to Texas Wesleyan that they earn the status of honorary alumni.

This year’s dinner will be held on Friday, Oct. 18, at Ridglea Country Club, with the reception at 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. Our distinguished honorees include athletes, business owners and scholars. The recipients carry on Texas Wesleyan’s tradition of excellence and make their alma mater proud with their accomplishments.
