2009 Outstanding Alumni
The College of Media & Communication Outstanding Alumni Awards were instituted in
1981 to recognize alumni of Texas Tech University who have made outstanding contributions
to the field of media and communication.
Any person, organization, media group or company may make nominations for the annual
recognition. A selection committee representing the students, faculty, alumni and
advisory committee is appointed by the dean of the College of Media & Communication.
Outstanding Alumni are recognized at a breakfast on Saturday morning prior to a home
football game in the fall.
A medallion is given to each honoree, and plaques are retained for display in the
Media & Communication building.
