Sophmore, Speech Communication
Scenes from Haiti continually appear through various media channels such as television, media, print and the most educational of all — Facebook.
From being a “fan” to joining a “cause” there are endless ways to help the devastation and tragedy for the people in Haiti.
Here at WTAMU the community bands together to take the lead by raising support for the Haitian people. Wednesday night students went on a “Dorm Storm” and asked for monetary donations.

On March 2, 2008, Oprah Winfrey debuted her philanthropic reality show “The Big Give.” In every episode, competitors in the television series would travel to different U.S. cities, donate to special organizations, assist in several service projects and empower people in socio-economic needs.
Unfortunately the program only lasted one season; however, the concept still thrives, especially through S.A.G.E. (Students Assisting In Good Endeavors) here at WTAMU.
For the past two years, S.A.G.E. has perpetuated what Oprah started causing a ...]]></description>

Web Editor&#8217;s Note: This is a commentary piece.
Khaled Hosseini, critically acclaimed author of “The Kite Runner” and “A Thousand Splendid Suns,” and this year’s guest speaker at the fifth annual convocation, asserted that amidst our successes, we are still only just by-products of luck.
For example, hard work might have played its role in bringing you to WT, or helped you land an athletic scholarship, or even gave you the desire to teach and educate and learn; however, luck let ...]]></description>

In 1959, Kimbrough Memorial Stadium opened its gates to what would eventually be the epicenter of WTAMU athletics.

On Sept. 1, Whitney Houston busted out her new album, “I Look To You.”

Well, I am not afraid to say the new CD didn’t disappoint me.  I will not call this a “comeback” because ...]]></description>

The Plans
Walking down the streets of Turkey, each student feels a sense of awe, wonder and excitement.
As they meet the family they’ll be staying with, another emotion sets in&#8211;doubt. How will they accomplish all of their goals? Are they ready both emotionally and physically? Is their capacity to understand the world around them already at its limit? Did their class adequately prepare them for the road ahead?
Without letting them falter, their leaders encourage ...]]></description>

Eventually, people felt that students needs weren’t being met, and in 2007 the Texas Legislation passed a bill that allotted over $17 million devoted to the CC, opening up the doors for an extreme overhaul.Continuously pursuing excellence, and striving to enhance the facility both aesthetically and ...]]></description>
