We are an organization that embraces the ideals of Molly Goodnight and her work with education and buffalo. Our organization strives to further her works through community service, education, leadership and positive public image for West Texas A&M University. We like to embody her ideals of independences, hard work, and determination. Here is a little history about Molly Goodnight-

Mary Ann Goodn

ight was the wife of Texas rancher Charles Goodnight. Known as Molly to others the First lady of the Palo Duro Canyon was the only woman on the vast JA Ranch for quite some time. The ranch was established by Goodnight and John Adair in 1877. 'While Molly's life centered on the traditional chores of ranch life, however, her interests extended to protecting baby buffalo left to die after commercial hunters ravaged the Plains. Through rescuing and raising orphaned buffaloes Mrs. Goodnight helped establish the Goodnight buffalo herd, which became well known throughout the world. She helped establish Goodnight College in 1898. The small railhead town of Goodnight and a church there were named for the ranching couple. Molly died in April 1926. Her headstone reads: "Mary Ann Dyer Goodnight One who spent her whole life in the service of others." '

Hi! My name is Hannah Valencia and I’m a Communication Studies major.

My favorite part about being a Darling is the community and how kind everyone is.

A fun fact about me is that I have changed my major seven times.

My fav part of WT is that it has a “small school” feel and personal touch, but still has innovative classes and keeps up with the times.
