A university is a place where basic philosophical questions are posed: "How should I live my life?" and "What is worthy of belief?" and "How should I treat others?" These questions are best answered, we believe, when people with different areas of expertise work together in a cooperative and collegial manner. University College Day is a campus-wide celebration of scholarship at Texas Wesleyan University. We invite all members of the Wesleyan Community and of the larger Metroplex community to participate in this celebration.

2010 Theme: “What does this have to do with me?”
