18th Annual Scholarship Gala

March 5, 2022

More than 250 Texas Tech Law alumni, students, and friends joined together in celebration at the 18th Annual Scholarship Gala at the Overton Hotel and Conference Center—and it was an unforgettable night!

The evening honored the 2020 distinguished alumni and distinguished service award recipients Doug Atnipp '85, Julie Caruthers Parsley '90, Philip Weems '82, and Art Hall '96. These exceptional individuals were celebrated at the 17th Annual Scholarship Gala that was virtual and by video, and it was an honor to recognize their accomplishments in person.

The Gala has also become an important source of support for the Law School and its students. The Premier Diamond Scholarship Sponsor, Bryan Jepson '09, established a scholarship honoring the memory and legacy of his late wife Elizabeth Henderson Jepson '09. Elizabeth, an incredibly vivacious and caring woman, will continue to touch lives through the Elizabeth Henderson Jepson Endowed Scholarship. Thanks to the steadfast support of the evening’s donors and sponsors, over $109,000 was raised for student scholarships! This generosity makes the dream of an outstanding legal education possible for many Texas Tech Law students.

Make plans to join fellow alumni at the 19th Annual Scholarship Gala in Lubbock on Saturday, March 4, 2023!
