On behalf of Texas Tech University leadership, I am sharing the following update with the campus community, which was sent a short time ago by Chancellor Tedd L. Mitchell:

Dear TTU System family,
 
I write today to update you on the news shared yesterday evening regarding Texas Tech University President Lawrence Schovanec.
 
I am happy to report that President Schovanec continues to be in stable condition, and the prospect of a full recovery looks promising.
 
Yesterday afternoon (June 10, 2024), President Schovanec experienced a medical emergency and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.
 
While he continues to be monitored and is recuperating at the hospital, we are working closely with Texas Tech University leadership and the President's Office team to ensure he focuses on his health and recovery without distraction for the remainder of this week.
 
We are thankful for those who helped respond and for the exceptional care he continues to receive.
 
We appreciate the outpouring of support and look forward to sharing more updates on his positive progress.
 
Warmest regards,
Tedd

Office of the Provost
