We're immensely proud of Dr. Melissa Tonn's unwavering dedication to making a difference and her impactful work with Texas Woman's University's Frontiers Program, as featured in the Spring 2024 issue of Texas Woman's magazine.
Dr. Tonn's involvement with the Frontiers Program exemplifies her personal values of compassion, empowerment, and community support. Through her leadership and generosity, she's provided essential resources, including mentoring, counseling, financial aid, and emergency assistance, to help foster care students overcome barriers and achieve their educational goals. Her establishment of the Tonn Emergency Fund further demonstrates her commitment to ensuring that no student faces insurmountable challenges on their journey to success. Dr. Tonn goes above and beyond, not only providing financial support but also creating meaningful experiences for students who may not have had such opportunities otherwise.
Her passion for education and dedication to fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion inspire us all to make a difference in our communities. For more information on the Frontiers Program and how you can support foster care students' education, visit TWU's Frontiers Program.
