📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Road Win. The women’s basketball team beat Colorado State 66-59 on Wednesday. Lobos held the Rams to only two points in the second quarter as they went on to score 19. Laila Abdurraqib led the team with a season-high 25 points and seven three-pointers.

🔺 Weekly Honor. Men’s basketball player Tomislav Buljan was named the Old Trapper Mountain West Freshman of the Week. This marks his third honor of the season. Buljan posted a pair of double-doubles in his first two conference games. He averaged 20.5 points and 11.0 rebounds per game last week.

🔺 Coming Up. Indoor track athlete Habtom Samuel will make his road race debut at the Houston Half Marathon on Sunday against elite international competition. He will race against six of the 15 fastest men in American history and the two fastest Canadians all-time.

🔺 Academic Success. The football team had eight athletes earn Collegiate Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team honors. On defense, Jaxton Eck, Mercury Swaim, Ky'Won McCray, and Brett Karhu were all named to the team, and on offense, Keagan Johnson, Kaden Robnett, Jack Layne, and Malik Alaine were named as well. To be named to the CSC All-District team, a player must be a starter or have played in 90% of his team's games and have a 3.5 cumulative grade point average.

Hot or Iced, Always Right
Need a boost between classes or during a late-night study session? Whataburger’s hot or iced coffee is ready whenever you are. Smooth, bold, and brewed fresh, it’s the perfect pick-me-up no matter the time of day. Pair it with breakfast or sip it solo, either way, your caffeine is covered.

Since 2017, the National Day of Racial Healing has created space for people to connect and imagine a better future together. In the years since, the world around us has changed. For many communities, opportunities that should be available to all—like access to good schools, quality health care, healthy food, and steady work—remain out of reach. Trust in our systems has been shaken, and our divisions have grown, making healing more urgent than ever.

Still, millions of neighbors, coworkers, loved ones, parents, and children continue to show up for one another. They share lived experiences, build trust where they live, learn, and work, and strengthen a sense of belonging through everyday connection. These daily acts of courage and care show that racial healing is both necessary and possible.

As we mark the 10th anniversary of the National Day of Racial Healing, join us on Jan. 20, 2026—at home, at work, in your community, or online—and take a step toward understanding, connection, and healing.
