TWU has a long history of making history, and this week saw a new chapter inaugurated as Texas Woman’s University in Denton unveiled its first official mascot for the school.

Read MoreCLIFF NOTES: The Downtown Implementation Plan
One of the crown jewels of Denton is the ideas and enthusiasm which comes from students at our Universities graduating and choosing to stay in Denton to invest in its future.
