Campus Access & Engagement

Campus Access & Engagement signifies Texas Tech University’s commitment to student success. We serve as a point of connection for students and community members, boosting engagement with academic, social, and professional development opportunities available at Texas Tech. Recognizing the many needs and challenges faced by its student body, Campus Access & Engagement seeks to ensure that every student, regardless of their background or stage in their academic journey, can access the resources and support they need to thrive.

By promoting participation in campus life, including involvement in student organizations, leadership development programs, and community service initiatives, we cultivate a vibrant community that enriches the student experience. This approach not only supports academic achievement but also fosters personal growth and a sense of belonging among students.

In addition to serving current students, Campus Access & Engagement also focuses on outreach efforts to prospective students and their families, highlighting the opportunities available at Texas Tech. Through these efforts, the office aims to attract a talented pool of students who are eager to contribute to and benefit from the university's dynamic community.
