Alumni
Tuesday, Feb. 13 is an important date for Texas Tech University. The Texas Tech Alumni Association is hosting Texas Tech Day in Austin and you are invited. We want to have a very strong Red Raider presence in the state Capitol as we demonstrate support of adequate funding for higher education, especially funding given to Texas Tech.

We encourage you to join Texas Tech Chancellor Kent Hance and other Texas Tech leaders in Austin on this day. It is important for Texas Tech alumni and supporters from all over Texas to be there. We want to show Texas legislators that Techsans from all over the state are interested in how our elected leaders support higher education. We also need your help in expressing the specific needs of Texas Tech University to these individuals.
The schedule for the day is listed below. Please make every effort to attend and bring other Texas Tech alumni and supporters with you, as this is a very important day for Texas Tech. If you have any questions, please contact Jim Douglass at jim.douglass@ttu.edu or 806.742.3641 ext. 228. Thank you in advance for your positive response to this request. I look forward to seeing you in Austin on Feb. 13.
