Current Texas Wesleyan students and alumni are invited to attend Career Services’ annual Graduate and Professional School Fair from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, in the Paul and Judy Andrews Hall at the Nick and Lou Martin University Center. This is a come-and-go event with no sign-up required.

Participants will have the chance to speak with representatives from graduate and professional schools from around Texas and surrounding states, including Texas Wesleyan graduate programs.

“Even if you haven’t thought about pursuing a graduate or professional school education, this is a great event for you,” Michael Gatton, Career Services associate director, said. “You may come across the perfect program that you didn’t even know existed.”

Texas Wesleyan is back in the national spotlight for its top-tier education. The university has been featured in the just-released Best Colleges 2020 rankings by U.S. News and World Report.

“Once again, U.S. News has recognized what I see on campus everyday – talented students being trained for successful careers by our faculty experts,” President Frederick G. Slabach said. “Our students, faculty and staff do invaluable work every day, and I’m pleased to see the well-deserved attention their efforts continue to bring to the University.”

New this year, after being ranked in the top tier of regional universities in the west for the past nine years, Texas Wesleyan moved up to the list of national universities. TXWES was also ranked on the list of best business programs, as well as the new social mobility category, which ranks schools based on how successful they are in enrolling and graduating large numbers of disadvantaged students.

“Education is the most powerful socio-economic elevator ever devised by man,” Slabach said. “It’s an equalizer. Education changes the trajectory not only of a graduate’s life, but of the lives that may follow that graduate for generations to come. I am proud of the role Texas Wesleyan plays in attracting and graduating so many first-generation college students.”
