"She Kills Monsters"

Agnes is processing the death of her younger sister Tilly when she discovers Tilly's Dungeons & Dragons notebook. From the moment Agnes opens that notebook she is taken on a journey that will change her outlook not only on her sister, but of herself. This play is full of discovery, action, fantasy and everything you would expect out of a D&D game: fairies, ogres, a quest and 90s pop culture. This production is sure to bring out the role player in all of us.

2023 Distinguished Alumni

Two beloved graduates of West Texas A&M University were honored Oct. 12 during one of the highlights of the University’s Homecoming Week festivities.

Former WT Vice President of Finance and Business Gary Barnes and late WT Professor Emeritus William E. “Bill” Semmelbeck were honored Oct. 12 during WT’s annual Phoenix event.

“Our Distinguished Alumni embody values which identify and define us. They embody Panhandle values, many of the same values people think of when they think of the West and West Texas,” said Dr. Todd Rasberry, vice president for philanthropy and external relations. “All our Distinguished Alumni, but in particular Bill and Gary, are examples of WT’s distinctiveness. Moreover, you are an inspiration for us, and you bring pride to WT.”
