Texas Woman's University welcomes all parents, family members and guests to Parent and Family Orientation. Having a daughter, son, spouse or friend enter a university is a special occasion, and we highly recommend you attend this program with your student. Your presence will help ensure your student's transition and success here at TWU. The transition to college is often both exciting and challenging. Your student will be provided with many new opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. Your support, combined with TWU's services, will help to make your student's experience great.
A special Parent and Family Orientation Program is offered during each of the 2-day Freshman Orientations. This program is designed to help you and your student get off to a strong start at TWU. Parent and Family Orientation includes a series of programs, information sessions, tours and activities to help acquaint you with the TWU faculty, staff and students.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Texas Woman's University campus. Please plan to join your daughter, son, spouse and/or friend at TWU Orientation 2009! Registration for the Parent and Family Orientation is located on the Student Orientation brochure or register on-line with your student under the Freshman Orientation link.
