With college campuses across the nation being closed for tours and prospective student days due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it's hard for high school seniors and transfer students to make their college decisions.

In a campus-wide effort to help in this process, Texas Tech University is changing its usual spring schedule to continue engaging with the students in new ways. This includes promoting different events for prospective students to experience the spirit of Raiderland and what life could be like for them as Red Raiders.

 

"I'm excited that our undergraduate admissions office is helping us find ways to virtually meet with prospective students and still be able to share information and promote our college," said Shelbey Havens, College Recruiter for Tech's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.

These videos and events give students and their families a chance to ask questions, get more information and interact with Red Raiders, said Mitchel Locke, digital marketing manager for Texas Tech Enrollment Management. "We're hopeful that, in communicating these virtual resources and enhanced programming, students will feel ready to join the Red Raider family this fall," he said.
