Open Doors<br />
Texas Woman’s Pioneers are<br />
resilient and dare to achieve<br />
what they dream. At <strong>TWU</strong>, the<br />
many doors of opportunity are<br />
thrown wide open, empowering<br />
all students to dream big.<br />
“That day changed everything.<br />
One year later, I am double<br />
majoring in social work and<br />
political science and on my<br />
way to law school.”<br />
Jianna Covarelli | Student Regent<br />
<strong>TWU</strong> HAS OPENED NEW DOORS of possibility for first-generation<br />
college student, Jianna Covarelli. The day Jianna participated in an<br />
electoral training program for women interested in politics through<br />
the Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership, everything changed<br />
for her. She began as a social work major but discovered that double<br />
majoring in political science and social work would set her on a path<br />
to make an even greater impact. With knowledge from both fields of<br />
study, Jianna plans to attend law school. Her goal is to work in public<br />
policy, analyzing real world problems and developing needed solutions.
Fuel Innovation<br />
From a single building in<br />
1901 to the seventh university<br />
system in Texas, <strong>TWU</strong> continues<br />
to blaze its own trail. The Fuel<br />
Innovation pathway builds on<br />
transformational ideas.<br />
“My story is one example of<br />
how <strong>TWU</strong> comes alongside<br />
students and carves a path<br />
where we can help fill a<br />
gap in the current body<br />
of knowledge.”<br />
David Pugh | Physical Therapy<br />
DAVID IS A SECOND-YEAR physical therapy graduate student. He<br />
earned his undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from Texas<br />
A&M University. <strong>TWU</strong> Associate Professor Hui-Ting Goh approached<br />
David about joining her research team. With his engineering<br />
background, he could help analyze and process kinematic data.<br />
David has honed his problem solving and critical thinking skills<br />
researching the relationship between stroke patients’ perceived efforts<br />
in motor tasks, brain activity and quality of movements.
“<strong>TWU</strong> has equipped<br />
me with the strength<br />
of character needed<br />
to excel.”<br />
Makayla Asberry | Nursing<br />
Cultivate Grit<br />
Since our founding, <strong>TWU</strong><br />
has recognized the power<br />
of grit. That is why we foster<br />
a culture of confidence<br />
and perseverance.<br />
MAKAYLA IS A FIRST-YEAR nursing major who has been<br />
cultivating a spirit of grit from a young age. The daughter of<br />
a single parent, her journey is shaped by the resilience and<br />
determination of her mother and grandmother. Always aspiring<br />
to learn and do more, from Girl Scouts to student council<br />
president, Makayla knew that <strong>TWU</strong> would continue to provide<br />
important “grit-gaining” opportunities. The university’s emphasis<br />
on experiential learning has been pivotal in preparing Makayla<br />
for the demanding path to becoming a certified registered<br />
nurse anesthetist.
