photo of the TWU T. Boone Pickens Institute of Health Sciences - Dallas Center The TWU T. Boone Pickens Institute of Health Sciences-Dallas Center opened in February 2011, combining the university’s Parkland and Presbyterian sites into an eight-story, 190,00-square-foot building in the heart of the Southwestern Medical District.

The Dallas Center bears the name of Texas oilman and entrepreneur T. Boone Pickens, who donated $5 million to the building’s fundraising campaign.  The center houses the Houston J. and Florence A. Doswell College of Nursing, the TWU Stroke Center-Dallas and the university’s physical therapy, occupational therapy and health systems management programs.

New State Mandated Immunization Requirement

Effective January 1, 2012, State of Texas law requires that all new and transfer college students must receive a vaccination or booster against bacterial meningitis. This applies to both undergraduate and graduate students.  Students who were previously enrolled at TWU but not enrolled during the Fall 2011 term are also required to receive the vaccination to enroll for Spring 2012. More detailed information on this requirement.
