A Message from the Director of Development
Our office was very busy over the summer as we set out to raise money to be eligible for matching funds from the Texas Research Incentive Program. This is a state of Texas initiative that is offered to seven Texas Universities including Texas Tech. We had four generous donors who gave $100,000 each which is eligible to be matched by the state 50%. We were very happy that we could bring $600,000 in new money for research for the college.
As football season begins, I will be traveling around the state seeing many alumni at the tailgating parties. I love this time of year and I love our Red Raiders! We will have our Distinguished Alumni Luncheon on October 8, 2009 and hold a Homecoming Reception before the game on October 10, 2009.
We have set our fundraising priorities for the upcoming year. They include:
- Skyviews Relocation to AT&T Stadium
- Graduate Fellowships
- Undergraduate Scholarships
- A New Gallery for the Department of Design
- Professorships in each department
You can make a difference in the lives of our undergraduate and graduate students by giving a one-time gift or by endowing a scholarship or fellowship. Please contact me at 806-742-3263 or email dean.loehr@ttu.edu.
Thank you again for your support and GO TECH!
