CANYON, Texas - West Texas A&M University alumni will gather in Arlington to enjoy major league baseball and major league fun.

Buff alums will sit in a reserved section of Globe Life Field, 734 Stadium Drive, for the Texas Rangers' game against the Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 8. Game time is 6:15 p.m.

Discounted tickets offered through the WT Alumni Association are $40 each. Due to the space constraints, once the tickets are sold out, no additional tickets will be available through the WT Alumni Association.

Tickets are available at mercury.wtamu.edu/alumni-events/.

"Events like this provide a fun and relaxed environment for WT Alumni to reconnect and build new relationships," said Ronnie Hall, executive director of the WT Alumni Association. "This will be a fun evening of baseball at the ballpark, we hope you join us."

Maintaining strong community and alumni ties is a component of the University's long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.

That plan is fueled by the One West comprehensive fundraising campaign, which raised more than $200 million dollars, the largest such campaign in Texas Panhandle history.
