WT intends to be an effective and purposeful educational institution for the people of the Panhandle and beyond.
for the forward progress of WT. The planning efforts reinforce a commitment to growth and an appreciation of Texas Panhandle history and its people. What may seem commonplace at WT is not commonplace at many universities. The future essence of a good university—West Texas A&M University—should never be taken for granted, especially at the midpoint of the 21st century. WT intends to be an effective and purposeful educational institution for the people of the Panhandle and beyond. As the 125th anniversary approaches, WT will respond to the changing environment of public higher education in Texas, the United States and the world. This is a high calling and one that WT accepts.
WT’s attention to these lofty aspirations and the many maxims and metrics under development is what makes these appropriate intentions plausible.
It is WT’s commitment. It will be the future of West Texas A&MUniversity.
Walter V. Wendler President
