Foundedin 1891 in Brenham, Texas, TLU movedto Seguin in 1912. Enrollment at TLUis approximately 1,300 undergraduatestudents. The quality education that TLUprovides its students has been recognizedrepeatedly in the annual ranking ofAmerica’s best colleges by “U.S. News &World Report.” TLU was recently rankedNo. 1 Best Value in the 2017 “U.S. News”rankings for colleges in the West.

A MessageFROM THE PRESIDENT“The transformation ofthe campus over thepast several years hasestablished an expectationthat this university willcontinue to grow andthrive. The years aheadwill be an even greatertime to be a Bulldog.”Early this fall semester I spoke to high school seniors who are consideringenrolling at TLU, and who will become the Class of 2021. My welcome toprospective students on TLU Preview Day emphasizes three ideas to takehome from their visit. First, TLU is a great value. In the current economicenvironment, students, and families are heavily focused on both quality andcost. Affordability is a must; however, the kind of educational experience thatTLU offers is still highly desired. That is why we were so pleased to receivethis fall the recognition of No. 1 Best Value among Western U.S. Collegesby “U.S. News & World Report.” At TLU, we do one thing—undergraduateeducation in a residential setting—and we do it well.Second, the campus has a welcoming, positive culture. A major reason whystudents love their experience here is that faculty and staff love working atTLU. Not surprisingly, “The Chronicle of Higher Education” has named TLUa Great College to Work For each of the past five years.Finally, I urge students to think about their college degree as something thatwill yield lifetime benefits. TLU students have a great experience, but whathappens here after they graduate makes a difference in the value of theirdiploma. When I spoke to prospective students in my first year, five yearsago, there was no Centennial Hall, no Bulldog Athletic Complex, no nursingprogram, no master’s degrees, and no Weston Center for the PerformingArts. These initiatives, with the Weston Center now underway, have raisedTLU’s quality, visibility, and the value of being an alumnus/alumna. Thetransformation of the campus over the past several years has establishedan expectation that this university will continue to grow and thrive. The yearsahead will be an even greater time to be a Bulldog.Your support for these and other projects has made us a better universityand a better experience for our students. In addition, the transformation hasestablished an expectation of more to come, and an even brighter future forour students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Thank you.Blessings,Stuart DorseyPresident2015–2016 president’s report 1

“U.S. News & World Report”Ranks TLU Best Value in the West for 2017Each September, college-bound students and theirfamilies refer to the infamous “U.S. News & WorldReport” College rankings list to see how their topcollege choices fair.For the past several years, TLU has rankedNo. 1, 2, or 3 on the Best Value andBest Overall College in the West list.For 2017, TLU ranks No. 1 Best Value College and No. 2Best College in the West. Rankings are based on datacollected from several categories, including academicreputation, admissions selectivity, faculty resources,retention, graduation rates, and alumni support.Along with the “U.S. News” accolades, TLU wasrecognized as a 2016 Great Colleges to Work For by “The Chronicle of Higher Education.” TLU was alsonamed a 2016 Top Baccalaureate College by “TheWashington Monthly” for the University’s contributionsto the public good. TLU ranked seventh among the top100 baccalaureate colleges, receiving high marks in theservice and research categories.Olivers Honor Nephew with Gift to TLU NursingBoard of Regent member Bob Oliver and his wife, Karin,wanted to honor their nephew Matthew Murray and thenurses who have taken care of him for the past 20 years.With a new nursing program at TLU, the Olivers decideda gift to the nursing program in honor of Matthew andhis nurses would be a meaningful and lasting tribute. Inrecognition of the generous gift, TLU installed a plaque tohonor Matthew and his nurses in the TLU nursing building.Matthew was born on September 4, 1994, and shortlyafter his birth he began experiencing uncontrollablemulti-focal seizures several times a day. Doctors havenever been able to determine the cause of his seizures,and they did not expect him to live beyond his secondbirthday. Through the dedication of his nurses and thequality of full-time care they provided, Matthew is now21 and is beloved by his parents and two brothers.The Murray family is extremely grateful that many skilledand compassionate nurses dedicated their service tocare for Matthew throughout the years. The Murrayfamily believes that nurses have an immeasurableimpact on people’s lives – the patient and the familymembers – and they hope Matthew’s story inspiresothers to pursue a career in nursing.TLU Receives NSF Grant to Study Inverted ClassroomsAs part of a grant awarded from the NationalScience Foundation (NSF), TLU will receive 291,828 to determine the optimum impactinverted and “flipped classrooms” havein maximizing student success in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) courses.Led by Math and Computer ScienceDepartment Chair, Professor Reza Abbasian,and Chemistry Department Chair, ProfessorBill Davis, the project will look at what theoptimal combination of Inverted and ActiveLearning Pedagogies (IALP) should be in orderto maximize student learning. Abbasian andDavis competed against large state universitiesand some elite private schools for this funding,including the highly selective Harvey MuddCollege in Claremont, Calif.“In a typical inverted or hybrid-invertedclassroom, students watch short, 10-minutevideos about a topic before coming toclass allowing the instructor to minimizetheir lecture and spend time in class doingactivities or small group projects” Abbasiansaid. “Our goal is to study the effectiveness ofthese classes across multiple STEM disciplinesversus the traditional lecture.”Davis said they will focus on multi-sectionSTEM courses in areas like statistics, chemistry,or biology, and will teach one section usingthe inverted method and another one usingtraditional lecture. They will then monitorthe performance of the students fromboth classes in the next course. Accordingto Davis, there are studies that show theinverted classroom approach would benefitunprepared students so another goalis to find out if the inverted classroomapproach can enhance the learning ofunderrepresented students.“Ultimately, we hope to find teachingmethodologies that show studentperformance gains,” said Davis. “It maybe—and most likely will be—a very differentinnovative pedagogy in the different STEMdisciplines.”2015–2016 president’s report 3
