The Paul Engler College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences is pleased to provide oversight of Thunder XIII, the WT mascot, and leadership of the new Herdsmen Team. The Herdsmen Team members were selected through a process that included nomination from a WTAMU faculty or staff member, an extensive written application and a formal interview. These men and women represent the true spirit of what it means to be a WTAMU Buffalo.
Fall 2020 brought two new herdsmen to the team.
Welcome:
Joseph Gerlach, SO Animal Science/ Pre-Vet, from Decatur, TX.
What advice would you give to students about getting involved?
"I would tell students to find something they are passionate about, and join that club or organization because you enjoy what they are doing! There are many great opportunities on campus and I would encourage everyone to take advantage of them!"
Kaitlyn Medeiros, SO Animal Science/Pre-Vet, from Austin, TX.
Kaitlyn has wanted to be a Herdsmen ever since she set foot on the campus! She can't wait to introduce the new Buffalo to WTAMU, when the time is right!
What advice would you give to students about getting involved?
