Congratulations to Joel Garcia on receiving the Alumni Legacy Scholarship! Joel is one of five recipients for the 2024-2025 school year that will receive support from funds raised by the Alumni Association throughout the year.

Joel is currently a junior and is involved in many organizations across campus! His mother is a Texas Wesleyan graduate.   

What is your major and planned graduation year?

I am majoring in both general business and marketing, and I plan to graduate in the spring of 2026.

What are your plans after graduation?

After graduation, I plan to find a place of work where I can utilize my creativity and have fun while doing so. It would be awesome to start my own clothing brand and bring my visions to life.

Why did you choose Texas Wesleyan?

I chose Texas Wesleyan because I wanted to grow as a person, and this school has given me multiple opportunities to improve my skills not only in the classroom but in real life as well.

What are your favorite things about being a student at TXWES?

One thing I love about being a TXWES student is that I have met life long friends here who have helped me become very involved on campus. The faculty and staff care about the students and want us to succeed in every aspect of life.

Tell us some interesting facts about yourself.

Outside of school I love to play guitar and make music under my artist name “JJ FISHER”, which is mainly alternative rock however I enjoy all types of music. I am currently in my second year as a captain for our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate team we have in our Esports department. I am also the Social Media Manager for the Latin Student Association that started back up again this semester.

Your support of the alumni association makes these scholarships possible. Applications for the 2025-26 Alumni Association Legacy Student Scholarship are due Jan. 31, 2025.
