The Marlie Snider Collegia Program
A Home Away from Home
Being involved in community, both personally and professionally, is key to student success. Initially, visistors of the Collegiums are attracted to the warm ambiance, convenient access to computers and academic resources, and subsidized food. However, it is the richness of interaction with professors and peers in these campus hubs that leaves a memorable imprint on the student experience at TWU. Each year, student leaders facilitate the collegiums by hosting the lounges, organizing commuter events, and taking initiative on new opportunities to connect students to each other.
