lty member, although retired, can still be seen on the Denton campus from time to time. She no longer teaches or has a schedule to keep, but she keeps coming back--in part because of the way she's treated, by people she doesn't even know. Those she encounters hold doors for her, ask to carry her books, smile and offer a helping hand. With every visit to campus there's another act of goodwill. She can't help but be proud to be a Pioneer.This is a true anecdote, learned in a chance meeting in the library. It reminded me that TWU is a special place with a special feel, during the holidays and year-round. There are larger universities in size, but it's hard to imagine one with a bigger heart. All year long the evidence is in plain sight--the helpfulness, the kindness, the acts above and beyond. Pioneers, in a word, care.
That's the holiday spirit, Pioneer style.
Happy holidays, everyone.
