WT celebrates grand opening of Bain Athletic Complex
The culmination of a long-held dream of some of West Texas A&M University's most faithful supporters was celebrated Tuesday afternoon. The third expansion of the Bain Athletic Complex capped off construction of the $12.5 million, state-of-the-art facility with more than 14,000 square feet of meeting spaces, locker rooms and administrative offices. A grand opening celebration was held Tuesday at the complex, located to the west of Bain-Schaeffer Buffalo Stadium. The complex was the dream of Dr. Barbara Bain and the late Dr. Ray Bain, whose family is among WT's most generous supporters.
WT researchers win grant for AI-Inclusive plan
A team of West Texas A&M University researchers recently won a $500,000 federal grant for a project designed to incorporate both family support and artificial intelligence in a plan to increase collegiate STEM success in Hispanic students. "Our project addresses a pressing issue: Hispanic students, including many women and first-generation college students, often find it especially challenging to succeed in STEM fields - science, technology, engineering and math," said Dr. Azi Tabei, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in WT's College of Engineering. "Despite numerous programs aimed at supporting these students, they continue to face significant obstacles that can hinder their progress and prevent them from completing their degrees." Data shows that the successful graduation rate of these groups is lower than their peers, Tabei added.
Best victories in life are shared as a TEAM
Football season starts in 33 days across the great state of Texas. And the “Boys of Fall” are preparing for that first WIN of the season. Coaches have a game plan … players know their positions and roles on the team … and a set of goals is plastered on the locker room walls. Inside the locker room, a brotherhood is formed. Each player has each other’s back, and these young men are ready to go to battle. Just like that brotherhood inside the locker room, all of us have a ‘circle’ we run with … whether it’s our social circle, our church circle or our work circle.
