Texas Tech’s Davis College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources has appointed Brittyn LeCompte, a recent graduate and animal science alumna, as its new Program Manager – College Recruiter, college officials announced this month.
LeCompte began her role on Monday (Jun. 16) and will be stationed at the college’s Dr. Bill Bennett Student Success Center. LeCompte joins a dedicated team within the Davis College Dean’s Office responsible for attracting and retaining top-tier students to the college’s seven academic departments.
“I’m excited to dive into a program that is passionate about bringing exceptional students to Texas Tech,” LeCompte said. “With every recruiting event, relationship built, and each incoming class, I strive to help Davis College reach its highest potential.”
In her new capacity, LeCompte will aid in efforts to develop and implement the college’s student recruitment strategies. Her responsibilities include supporting established recruitment, engagement, and retention objectives, analyzing recruiting data to refine plans, and serving as a public ambassador for the college both on campus and at external events.
“My goals include identifying elite students that will contribute to advancing Davis College,” LeCompte said. “I aim to build intentional relationships amongst the faculty, student body, and high schools across the nation. Additionally, I plan to work closely with each department within Davis College to understand and meet the unique interests and needs of all prospective students.”
A key aspect of LeCompte’s role involves traveling to various off-campus recruiting events and engaging prospective students and guests. She will also coordinate the college’s participation in major university recruitment activities, such as University Days, Red Raider Experience, Raider Roadshows, group tours, Connect Tech, and Techsan Preview Days.
