APRIL 21-22, <strong>2023</strong><br />
<strong>TWU</strong>
Welcome<br />
Texas Woman’s Alumni & Friends,<br />
We are excited to have you here for <strong>Homecoming</strong> <strong>2023</strong>! We look forward to you all<br />
sharing in the festivities and excitement of this annual event. <strong>Homecoming</strong> is an exciting<br />
time for us all, as we come together to celebrate our collective university pride and the<br />
accomplishments of our alumni.<br />
It is also a special time to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and create lasting<br />
memories. It was 50 years ago that the class of 1973 walked across the graduation stage.<br />
As part of this year’s <strong>Homecoming</strong> celebration, we are honoring them with a special<br />
reunion dinner the evening of Friday, April 21. In addition, we have planned multiple<br />
activities and events to ensure everyone has a great time and reconnects with the<br />
university. From campus tours to breakfast with the Chancellor, there is something for<br />
everyone to enjoy!<br />
Your continued support is greatly appreciated, and we are honored to have you back<br />
on the Denton campus. We wish you all a wonderful <strong>Homecoming</strong> celebration, filled<br />
with joy, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Kimberly A. Russell, Ed.D.<br />
Vice President, University Advancement and Alumni Engagement<br />
Executive Director, <strong>TWU</strong> Foundation<br />

50 TH REUNION<br />
50 YEARS! Five decades have passed since the class of 1973 walked<br />
across the stage with their classmates at Texas Woman’s University.<br />
Along with celebrating this 50-year milestone, you may wish to<br />
consider leaving a legacy by making a gift to the Pioneers Pay It<br />
Forward Scholarship Fund. Your gift will provide scholarships to<br />
deserving <strong>TWU</strong> students who need additional financial support.<br />
Scholarships play a critical role for the university with more than 73%<br />
of students receiving some form of financial aid this year.<br />
Give today to ensure current and future students can gain the most<br />
from their educational experience at <strong>TWU</strong>.<br />
