On Oct. 3, a time capsule was interred in a special ceremony at the Fine Arts Mall.

Dr. Patrick O’Brien opened the ceremony with a speech, leaving a message for the future University president and the class of 2060, which is the year when the capsule will be opened.“I hope that some of you will be here when the time capsule is opened,” Dr. O’Brien said to students.

Students were able to sign a block that will cover the time capsule. Refreshments such as Dr Pepper punch and buffalo cookies were served.

Various campus organizations contributed items to the capsule, such as shirts, letters, and pictures. Items from the last time capsule, which was opened on WTAMU’s Founder’s Day party in 2010, were put into the new capsule as well.

“I love WT so I’ll be around [when the capsule is opened],” Logan Moore, a senior Communication Studies major, said. “I’ll be a contributing alumni for the rest of my life.”
