National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
WT students are currently working on understanding the physics and the properties of materials called topological materials. These materials can be used in a wide range of applications such as using as materials for electronic devices, enhancing quantum computing, and improving advanced medical devices. They are extremely unique and powerful in which they are way more conductive than regular metals such as copper. This type of materials not only will provide a better alternative for making technological devices but also future proof as they will introduce more varieties in situations where metals such as copper go under a shortage.
"The trip to National High Magnetic Field Laboratory was a good learning experience for me personally; I hope that there will be more WTAMU students that interested in material science research coming to NHMFL in the future."

M.S. Interdisciplinary Studies emphasis in Professional Chemistry
"The best part of this trip, has been that this is a unique experience for many researchers in our field. National High Magnetic Field Laboratory is the only facility of its kind in the world, and the average experiment at this facility can cost up to $20,000 per week. The super high magnetic fields of the magnets here at NHMFL also offer more insight and unique results that other systems around the world are unable to obtain. "

Several WT Agricultural Sciences students received their FFA American Degree at the 2021 National FFA Convention, in Indianapolis. Jakob Weinheimer was a top 4 finalist in the American Star in Agricultural Placement category. Less than 1% of FFA members receive their American Degree and be a Star Finalist is trailblazing.
Congratulations, buffs!

WT Livestock Judging Team Season comes to an End
As we are in the middle of final exams, it’s important to finish strong. Remember that things obtained without work are not as impactful as things obtained with hard work.
Put in the extra effort!
