Texas Tech University
The On & On Campaign is the largest fundraising campaign ever undertaken by Texas Tech University. With a goal of raising $1.2 billion over the next eight years, the campaign is focused on increasing scholarship funds, expanding teaching excellence, enhancing infrastructure and positioning Texas Tech for continued athletic distinction.
In the words of President Lawrence Schovanec:
“Over the past 100 years, we’ve turned potential into power, education into inspiration and passionate students into proud alumni. As we embark on our most ambitious fundraising campaign ever, let’s continue this legacy together and ensure it goes On & On.”
To support the campaign’s launch, Operations assisted the campus organizers with behind-the-scenes details for the October 2024 kick-off event, helping with setup, tear-down and operational support from multiple internal teams:
Custodial Services: Maintained cleanliness in the hospitality area, serviced portable restrooms and cleaned the tent flooring for the main event.
Grounds Maintenance: Provided water hookups for restrooms, installed barricades and handled setup of flooring, tables and chairs and provided a bucket truck for photographers.
Facilities Maintenance: Supported event logistics by moving concert risers, connecting
electricity to portable restrooms and installing lighting and generators around the tent. The team also provided input during the dress rehearsal to optimize lighting configurations and adjusted courtyard infrastructure to accommodate the layout.
One of the standout contributions was helping to curate 400 special gift boxes for attendees. Raider Floral prepared tulip bulbs in gift bags, while our carpenter shop stained the box lids, each adorned with the iconic Double T emblem, adding school spirit to the celebration gift.
