As an alumna of Texas Wesleyan, I've attended and participated in at least four inaugurations. And, I have fond memories of those events. This year, as a staff member I've had the opportunity to be part of the planning process. Again, I will have fond memories of the events. However, this one is very special as we officially welcome our first female president to our University. Congratulations to President Emily W. Messer, Ed.D., our 21st president of Texas Wesleyan University. Welcome to my alma mater.

Dr. Messer,
Congratulations on your role of leading Texas Wesleyan and welcome to the Texas Wesleyan family! You have come into the role hitting the ground running with big ideas and pragmatic action for how Texas Wesleyan can deepen it's footprint in the community, bolster supports for its students, and commit to advancing the goals of our entire education system. We look forward to watching all you will accomplish in this leadership role and working alongside you in our shared pursuits.

All Our Best,
Elizabeth Brands
