For high school students, this is the time to visit college campuses. On Oct. 14, Texas Tech University will host Texas Tech Preview for prospective students, families and friends.
“This event provides prospective students an opportunity to see what Texas Tech has to offer,” said Jason Hale, executive director of admissions. “It’s the biggest recruitment event of the year for us.”
Most importantly, Texas Tech Preview is designed for visitors to meet faculty, staff and students and experience the campus.
Doors open at 7 a.m. at the United Supermarkets Arena, followed by a welcome from the Goin’ Band from Raiderland, the Spirit Squads and other distinguished guest speakers. During their visit, guests can browse a resource fair that features academics, student services and student organizations, and attend academic information sessions, a news release said.
Texas Tech is the largest research university in West Texas providing education and support to more than 41,000 students enrolled in more than 150 majors. Texas Tech is the only university system in the state with a comprehensive academic campus, law school and health sciences center on the same campus. The university’s research programs, in areas such as engineering, agriculture and environmental and human health, impact the lives of everyone in Texas and beyond.
“Texas Tech Preview gives prospective students a glimpse of college life,” said Jules Pender, Visitors Center manager. “There will be many opportunities to see what Texas Tech is all about.”
