TAKING CARE OF TEXAS<br />
<strong>TWU</strong> is committed to enhancing <strong>the</strong> state and keeping Texas vibrant and prosperous. The university<br />
in 2018 had a $1.8 billion economic impact on <strong>the</strong> state <strong>–</strong> <strong>the</strong> equivalent of adding more than<br />
29,000 jobs. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has vowed that Texas should be <strong>the</strong> No. 1 producer of women<br />
entrepreneurs, and legislators in 2019 invested $17 million to enhance <strong>TWU</strong>’s Institute for Women’s<br />
Leadership. Additionally, <strong>the</strong> university is helping <strong>the</strong> state meet demand for jobs in key areas such<br />
as health care, technology, management and education, with nursing and teaching comprising<br />
<strong>the</strong> largest share.<br />
