2026 Honoree
Robert Henry (Hank) Seale III
Seale came to Texas Tech University from a Bryan ranching family rooted in Texas since the 1820s. Early ranch work taught him hard work, perseverance, and thinking ahead. At Tech he studied agricultural economics, pledged Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and graduated in 1985, gaining business tools and people skills that proved vital after the family ranch was unexpectedly lost in 1986.
