TWC students were highly involved on campus, leaders among
their peers and academically engaged
TWC alumni were actively involved students at their home campus. Not only did they participate
in extracurricular activities (80%) at a higher rate than graduates nationally (63%) and graduates of
public (66%) and private universities (69%), they were also leaders on campus. Nearly six in 10 TWC
alumni held leadership positions on their campus, exceeding their comparison group graduates by at
least eight percentage points.
TWC alumni were also academically engaged students. Three-fths of TWC alumni participated in
a research project with a professor or faculty member, compared with about half of graduates nationally
and graduates of private and public universities. Additionally, slightly more than two-fths (42%) of TWC
alumni have completed some postgraduate work or a degree — more than doubling the rate of
graduates nationally and graduates of public and private universities.
