A Message from the Chancellor and President 

Dear Graduate, 

Today’s graduation event marks the end of one journey and the beginning of 

another. On behalf of the administration, faculty and staff at Texas Woman’s 

University and of the alumni who have preceded you, I congratulate you. 

Your hard work and determination have led you through long nights 

of studying, writing papers and juggling classes – not to mention other 

commitments. Through it all, your family, friends, the faculty and staff and 

your peers have provided support and encouragement. 

They join you today, proud of your achievements and excited for your future. 

I am thrilled so many of you were able to experience your final semester at Texas 

Woman’s in person, as the pandemic made it difficult to offer face-to-face classes 

in most of 2020 and this past spring. 

Wherever your dreams lead, you can be confident that your Texas Woman’s 

education has prepared you for the path ahead. From academic knowledge, 

leadership opportunities and experience gained through internships or clinical 

placements to our diverse campus environment, the Health and Wellbeing 

Initiative and co-curricular programming, you will benefit from the many new 

ideas and ways of thinking. The confidence you have built and your eager, 

lifelong learning will serve you well in our global society and through the 

changing norms of this pandemic. 

As you go on to share your knowledge, skills and talent with the world, I hope 

you will keep in touch and stay involved with Texas Woman’s through the Office 

of Alumni Engagement. The doors of this university are always open to you, and 

we look forward to hearing about your personal and professional achievements. 

With a pioneering spirit,

A Brief History of Texas Woman’s University 

The unique history of Texas Woman’s University started before the turn 

of the 20 th century with a revolutionary idea – higher education for women. 

In 1901, the 27th Texas Legislature created Texas Woman’s University. When TWU offered its first classes in 1903 in Denton, the 

institution was called the Girls Industrial College of Texas. Three name changes later – the College of Industrial Arts (CIA) in 

1905, Texas State College for Women in 1934 and TWU in 1957 – the university has expanded its curriculum to offer bachelor’s, 

master’s and doctoral degrees in more than 70 areas of study in both traditional and nontraditional fields for women. The 

university became fully co-ed in 1994. In 2021, Texas Woman’s became the nation’s first university system focused on women 

and the seventh system in the state of Texas. 

Throughout TWU’s history, the institution has emphasized academic excellence, professional preparation and personal growth 

for all students. The university’s dedication to learning was reflected in the establishment of its first graduate programs in 

1930; TWU awarded its first doctoral degrees in 1953. That growth took new directions (literally) when TWU opened the 

Institute of Health Sciences Houston and Dallas Centers in 1960 and 1966, respectively. 

Today, the university includes five colleges – the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Health 

Sciences, the College of Nursing, the College of Professional Education – and the Graduate School. With an enrollment of 

more than 16,000 students, Texas Woman’s University offers degree programs in the liberal arts, nursing, health sciences, the 

sciences, business and education. Its campuses in Denton, Dallas and Houston also have a robust online presence.

TWU’s Points of Distinction 

Denton 

u For more than a century, TWU has cultivated women 

leaders. Thanks to the Texas Legislature and private gifts, we 

continue this tradition through our Jane Nelson Institute for 

Women’s Leadership focused on women in business, politics 

and public policy, and student leadership development. 

u Recent state legislation provides $100 million to build 

a health science center on the TWU Denton campus. 

Recent construction projects on this campus include a 

state-of-the-art research center, dining hall, student union 

and residence hall. 

Dallas 

u College of Professional Education alumni are making a 

difference across the state, with 100% of last year’s teacher 

education undergraduates employed in Texas school districts. 

u The Doswell College of Nursing in Dallas partners with 

the Dallas VA Medical Center to meet the national demand 

for more nurses to help advance veterans’ care. 

u TWU’s Institute of Health Sciences-Houston Center sits 

at the southern gateway of the Texas Medical Center, the 

world’s largest and most prestigious medical complex. 

u College of Business students develop marketing plans for 

local entrepreneurs and non-profits, giving our future 

graduates experience they can take directly into the workplace. 

Houston 

u A $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation 

provides funding for TWU’s focus to increase the number 

of students graduating with degrees in science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics. 

u Local community members receive low-cost services at five 

specialized TWU clinics in Denton and Dallas. The TWU 

Counseling and Family Therapy Clinic; Dental Hygiene 

Clinic; Speech, Language & Hearing Clinic; Woodcock 

Autism Assessment Clinic; and Stroke Center-Dallas also 

provide hands-on training for the next generation of 

health care professionals.

A Brief Guide to TWU Commencement 

Commencement celebrates the culmination of a student’s education at TWU. Each university has its own symbols 

and traditions that are part of the commencement experience. Here is some information to help you enjoy TWU’s 

unique commencement ceremony. 

TWU Symbols 

u The Seal of the University – The official seal of Texas Woman’s University is used on all 

formal documents, such as the degrees awarded by the institution. The seal appears on 

the academic banners for the colleges of the university that adorn the commencement 

platform. The design of the seal incorporates the star, which represents the State of Texas, 

and the university motto, Scientia Lumen Vitae, which means “Knowledge Illumines Life.” 

u The Mace of the University – The mace is carried at all formal university ceremonies, 

such as commencement. Today, the provost carries the mace down the aisle leading the 

academic procession. Designed and handmade in 1977 by Alfred E. Green, associate 

professor of art, the mace is a symbol of the spirit and nature of the university. The mace 

is a staff of rare vermillion wood topped with a silver sphere banded by ivory. The silver 

sphere is repeated at the base, and a gold seal of the university is embedded in the shaft. 

u The President’s Medallion – The medallion worn by the chancellor and president bears 

the seal of the university on its face and the names of the university’s presidents on the 

reverse. Encircling the presidents’ names are the four names by which Texas Woman’s 

University has been known since its founding in 1901. In 2003, Ingrid Psuty, M.F.A., 

created the medallion and chain of fine silver and burgundy enamel. 

TWU Commencement Music 

Commencement at TWU is highlighted by music traditional for TWU. 

u Alma Mater – While attending the College of Industrial Arts, Mamie Walker, Class of 1917, won a student competition 

for the best school song and $15 in prize money. Her lyrics for Alma Mater were set to the music of the Russian National 

Anthem, chosen for its dignity and volume. Mamie Walker joined the TWU Department of English faculty in 1918 and 

retired in 1958. 

u Daughters of Texas March – After an evening concert in Denton on October 19, 1928, John Philip Sousa was approached 

by representatives from TWU with a petition signed by 1,700 young women who wanted Sousa to compose a march for 

their school. Flattered, as he said, by “the request of seventeen hundred charming Texas girls...,” he penned the Daughters 

of Texas March now played as the recessional for each ceremony. 

u To the Texas Woman’s University – For many years, each entering freshman class adopted an original song to perform at 

assemblies, sing-a-longs and other occasions where class pride could be expressed. When Jane Ward Pool composed To the 

Texas Woman’s University for the Class of 1946 song, it not only served as her class song but has endured as a lasting tribute 

to the university. 


TWU Academic Regalia 

American academic regalia, which developed from English traditions at Oxford and 

Cambridge universities, identifies the different academic degrees by distinctive gowns, 

hoods and colors. In 2013, Texas Woman’s debuted its own custom regalia worn only by 

TWU graduates. 

u The traditional black doctoral robe features rich TWU maroon velvet front panels and 

sleeve chevrons trimmed in metallic gold braid. The TWU seal adorns the left front 

of the robe. The regalia is completed with an eight-sided black tam, a gold tassel and 

a hood reflecting the degree received in velvet combined with the university’s school 

color in the satin lining. 

u The master’s gown is trimmed with maroon cuffs on the sleeves. The left side of the 

gown includes a tab embroidered with the TWU seal. The master’s hood includes the 

specific degree by color of velvet with maroon satin in the hood lining. A maroon and 

white tassel with custom seal signet is attached to the four-sided mortarboard. 

u The baccalaureate gown has a maroon sleeve cuff embroidered with the TWU letters 

and an Oak Leaf Chain, which represents the historical tradition of seniors’ last walk 

through campus holding an oak leaf chain to symbolize passing down strength, 

knowledge and traditions of the university. A maroon and white tassel with custom seal 

signet is attached to the four-sided mortarboard. 

u The edging of velvet on the master’s and doctoral hoods indicates the degree received:

u TWU students participating in commencement wear varied cords and sashes 

symbolizing their affiliations with honor societies and student organizations. For 

example, the red, white and blue honor cords worn today by graduating veterans and 

active military symbolize our recognition of their accomplishments and appreciation 

for their service.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, 

O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? 

And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. 

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave 

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
