2024 TrUE High 5 Award

Our 2024 recipients of the TrUE High 5 Award are Dr. Jon Crider and Aurelia Crider. This duo each have a significant impact in their own right on our TTU campus and we were so excited when they wanted to join forces to give TTU students in the McNair Scholars Program a chance of a lifetime. Dr. Crider and Aurelia spent a week at Grand Canyon National Park on a Raider Service Break. They were all in and had boots on the ground right next to the students as they helped navigate visitors at Grand Canyon. They were an intregal part of this trip and their character, drive, and love for our TTU students are the reason we are honoring them with this award! Congrats Dr. Crider and Aurelia!
