The Texas Tech Parents Association is a volunteerled organization where families help families by working together to offer programs, host events, provide services and support Texas Tech students, staff and family members.

Our goal is to help keep parents and students connected throughout their college experience. Uniting with our association makes connections easier and more exciting for all involved.

We recently hosted our annual Awards Ceremony where we honor Tech’s outstanding faculty and students. A tradition since 1976, the Texas Tech Parents Association Faculty and Student Awards Ceremony recognized nine faculty nominated and selected through a rigorous review process. In addition, we recognized 12 student leaders chosen by their colleges. Honored for their accomplishments, leadership and dedication to the Tech family, each recipient receives an award and a distribution.

On Sept. 29-30, Family Weekend, our most popular event, will include many exciting activities for students and their families to attend.

Activities include Friday Night Dinner, Off-Campus Housing Fair & Scholarship Fundraiser, Saturday Tailgate and, of course, a Red Raider football game.
