Jared Lay is the Director of Recruitment & International Partnerships at TTU K-12. He is originally from Melrose, New Mexico, but moved away to Oklahoma to pursue his undergraduate degree. From there, Jared moved to Lubbock, Texas, to pursue his master's degree at Texas Tech University. Jared has held various positions in different departments at Texas Tech, but he is grateful to now be working with TTU K-12 students to assist them with their transition from high school to college. His main goals are to recruit both stateside and international students to pursue higher education at Texas Tech University.

When he is not working, Jared enjoys spending time in the outdoors and with his family.
