How to stay current with what is happening at Watson

There are many ways you can keep up with what is happening at Watson. Did you know that X is one of the best ways? By following Watson MST on X you will often hear of events first and even the cancelation of activities due to weather.

If you do not have a X account and do not want one you can still follow us and receive those messages at the same time. You can subscribe to the messages via text and receive them on your phone as soon as they are sent. All you have to do is text the number 40404 with the message "Follow @watson_wildcats", you do not include the quotation marks.

If you do have a X account follow Watson MST @watson_wildcats and stay in the loop.

Here are some other X accounts you may find helpful.
