The Legacy Society began in 2016 with the hope of encouraging new TWU graduates to make their first gift to the university. When a graduating student makes a gift in the amount of their graduation year (such as $20.18 for the Class of 2018), they become eligible to receive a maroon and gold Legacy cord to wear for their graduation ceremony. The spring Class of 2018 has made its mark with more than $8,400 in donations, setting a record for the most given by a graduating class through this program.
