                 RECOGNIZING TEXAS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 14, 2011

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the students, 
faculty, and staff at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth, Texas. 
In 2010, US News and World Report ranked Texas Wesleyan University 
number 71 out of all tier one regional comprehensive universities in 
the western region of the United States. More recently, the university 
was recognized in the top 50 among all tier one regional comprehensive 
institutions, jumping 23 spots up to number 48. They should truly be 
proud of this wonderful accomplishment.
  Texas Wesleyan University was established in 1890 as a private 
institution with a focus on empowering and developing students to their 
full potential through the personal attention that each student 
receives from the faculty. The small class sizes are designed to foster 
learning and success amongst the students, and ensure that the faculty 
and staff are able to best serve and inspire the students. Their 
ranking in the past two years as a top university demonstrates that 
they continue to go above and beyond for their students.
  Texas Wesleyan University has all of the tools to continue to grow 
and enrich the surrounding Fort Worth community. I am truly proud of 
all of the students, faculty, staff, and administration of Texas 
Wesleyan University for achieving this prestigious accomplishment, and 
it is an honor to represent them in the United States Congress.
