Texas Wesleyan is committed to providing a safe and inclusive campus for all of our students, faculty, staff and visitors. We’re a diverse campus and dedicated to helping all of our students thrive. It’s a big part of what makes smaller, smarter.

In congruence with this, the Division of Student Affairs and the Liberal Studies Department have partnered to invite LGBT rights activists and partners Leslie McMurray and Katie Sprinkle to campus during free period on Thursday, Feb. 22, in Lou's Place to share their thoughts and suggestions on how to support inclusion and diversity at TXWES.
