OUR ACADEMIC QUALITY EXTENDS
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
TWU students have the opportunity to learn and work
with faculty members who pursue and apply research in
their fields. Whether it’s developing programs to reduce
violence against women, working with veterans and their
families, expanding access for children with autism or
identifying more effective ways to reduce cancer risks,
research with TWU faculty will broaden your academic
experience. twu.edu/faculty-profiles
