College Connect

(Formerly: Office of K-12 & IDEAL) 

College Connect believes the pursuit of higher education should be accessible to all students. Our goal is to provide the K-12 community with access points into higher education through programming and scholarship. We support the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion's mission in promoting student diversity by exposing K-12 students to diverse cultural, economic, social, and academic backgrounds. Our students learn how to actively listen, communicate, and respect others; developing into upstanding leaders in their communities.

College Connect programming includes:

• Coordinating on and off campus visits for schools and non-affiliated Texas Tech University organizations;
• Participating in Lubbock community events;
• Hosting the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering (TAME) Area event;
• Following up with summer participants and their interest in TTU; and,
• Organizing residential summer camps.
