Rawls Day is an annual event planned to celebrate the beginning of the fall semester, and the various opportunities and resources available to the Rawls College community. To champion the unique qualities of our students, staff and faculty, we embrace the different perspectives of all our community members, because we know we are all "Better Together."
Every student is a valued and cherished member of our community, and many of the resources available to students would not be possible without the generous contributions of Jerry S. Rawls. This year, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Mr. Rawls' $25 million gift and continued commitment to excellence at Rawls College.
Following Rawls Day, Rawls College will host the sixth annual Rawls Diversity Symposium virtually from 5:30-8:30 p.m. The Diversity Symposium will feature a keynote address, "From #Hashtag to Action: Addressing Systemic Racism," with Bakari Sellers.

Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Jerry S. Rawls' Gift
In December of 2000, Jerry S. Rawls contributed a record-breaking cash gift of $25 million to the Texas Tech University College of Business Administration, officially renaming the college to Jerry S. Rawls College of Business. His generous gift has fueled many of the ongoing initiatives in the college and assisted in facilitating the education of a new generation of leaders.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his gift, we invite you to visit our photo booth in the McCoy Atrium from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Rawls Day, September 10. Take a selfie and share why you love Rawls College using #RawlsDay2020.
