Expand Your Worldview

Convocations and Chapel offered every week. 

 

As a student at TWU, you will find yourself in a new environment meant to help you develop holistically. You'll do that in the classroom, through building community and through convocations or chapel services. 

 

The Office of Student Involvement creates programs for students to expand your worldview. Through convocations, you'll hear from speakers who discuss diversity and inclusion, arts and culture, faculty research, career and personal development and community engagement. Convocations are every Tuesday at 11 a.m.
