Mark your calendars for University College Day on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 — a day when we come together to celebrate the intellectual and community life of Texas Wesleyan University.
This special day will include a keynote address by Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns, a special networking event for students sponsored by the World of Wesleyan Leadership Program, a luncheon featuring Wesleyan grads, panels, debates, a student film premiere, poster boards, pecha kucha presentations, and a cookout with live music!
All day long, students, staff, and faculty will be sharing the interests and projects that have been driving their learning experiences, and they need YOU in the audience.
Faculty members are encouraged to allow students to attend sessions. This event offers professors the opportunity to encourage learning beyond the classroom by linking their students’ attendance at sessions to course content or skills. Students can see the results of their peers’ and professors’ research, collaborative projects, and creative endeavors.
For more than twenty years, University College Day has offered a forum for students, staff, and faculty members at Texas Wesleyan to share their scholarly and creative endeavors during a special day of presentations that engenders a shared sense of belonging with the Wesleyan community. UCD unites our campus and connects it with the world, supporting active learners as they think critically to engage one another in reaching out to local and global communities.
