The Global Vision Awards is a recognition to Texas Tech faculty and staff who have undertaken extraordinary efforts to expand our global engagement and the university's global image. Established in 2003, the awards show appreciation for each winner's generosity and continued support of Texas Tech's work to become more globally connected. This event genially occurs in April.

International Week and International Culture Fest is a dazzling celebration of international culture drawing in over 1,200 attendees from across the Texas Tech campus and the Lubbock community. Festivities showcase an incredible tapestry of global traditions, featuring cuisine, artistic performances, dance, and hands-on crafts.
