Jeff Caperton
Manager
Hospitality Services

In Jeff Caperton's role as the Manager of Training & Development, he has the opportunity to have a direct impact on all 900 employees within the department. When he stepped into the Manager role a little over three years ago, he took the opportunity to use his past experience and knowledge of operational needs to reshape the area. During this time, he has led training into the digital front. In addition to creating more convenient in-class opportunities for employees, this individual has established online training modules. This has allowed the department to bridge the gap needed to establish more convenient ways to hire students. This new online training allows Red Raiders to now complete needed training on their time frame and meets their diverse schedules. Jeff also spends countless evenings and weekends on campus training new employees in order to make transitions easy in the over 24 different dining locations across campus. He does everything possible to support his department. Over the course of his career at Texas Tech University, he has become a mentor, a champion for all employees and most importantly, a friend to many.
