Advising Center at Texas Tech
The Department of Texas Tech University Advising exists to engage, equip, empower, and encourage students (and their families) to explore and excel in their educational goals and beyond."
You may be thinking, "That's a lot of e-words." Or maybe you're thinking, "Yeah, right ... prove it!" We couldn't agree more. Let us explain:
- Our mission uses several e-words by design. The statement was carefully crafted to help our own team memorize, understand, and deliver! We've outlined it in an advising syllabus for our students, but it is far more than that. So go ahead, ask one of us about it. What does it mean? How are we working to accomplish it? We look forward to the conversation.
- On 'proving it' ... we intend to. Our department is investing precious time, energy, and resources to center all of its efforts on exceeding the highest standards of academic excellence in academic advising. Everything we do is based on a specific learning objective and has deliberate assessments so we can know where we are successful as well as where there are opportunities to better serve our students.
