Student Pro!le
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 institutions (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 institutions.
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 institutions.
