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.

Information offered for contacting future roommate

All first-year students at Texas Tech are required to stay in on-campus housing in an effort to help students remain in college and retain higher GPAs according to University Student Housings website.

When first moving in there are an abundance of options to choose from in regard to which dormitory to stay in.

Most dorms only have two beds or bedrooms within them while other dorms can have up to four people. One thing consistent among all dorms is that roommates are inevitable.

Flex housing is an option provided to all students living on campus in which two or more students mutually agree to being roommates. This gives students the option to be paired with someone they may already have a good connection with.

“When I lived on campus I did the flex option and was able to pick someone that I knew growing up,” third-year advertising student Cesar Reyes from Muleshoe said. “Having that as an option made me feel more comfortable when I was first moving in

RESOURCES

since I kinda knew how to be around this person already.”

To sign up for flex housing a contract must be submitted by all parties involved, after submission University Student Housing takes 7-10 business days to process the contracts and either approve or deny the submission.

If students do not sign up for flex housing, they will be given a roommate who signs up in the same dorm room.

When signing up for student housing on campus, students select the dorm building they would like to stay in as well as the dorm room. The selection of the dorm room is what provides you with your first-year roommate.

Moving in with someone having never met them can bring levels of uncertainty into the equation. Luckily on Raiderlink’s dorm room selection and move-in checklist page there will be information on your roommates including their name and Tech email address on the left side of the screen. This provides you at least one way to directly contact future roommates.

There are other options to contact future roommates other than email, which some

first-year students do not check until the start of the semester. The next best thing to do would be to try and reach out through social media. If possible, try and find an account directly attached to the roommate's name, such as Facebook or Instagram.

Social media has become a very popular way to try and find or get in contact with roommates. Multiple students have ended up contacting future roommates through social media because the email sent received no response.

“My freshman year roommate I found on Instagram and we immediately connected and started planning for the future,” third-year finance student Peter Thompson from Grapevine said. “It made me feel easier about walking into that situation knowing that I've had at least a few conversations with my roommate.”

There are also websites that students can use such as the Tech extension for roomsurf, which allows you to create a profile with your picture and interests. This site allows communication based on similar interests and preferred living situations such as what dorm you will be staying in.

RaiderCard opens doors to student amenities, buildings

From sports events and dorm hall entry to student discount and exam verification, these are a few reasons to keep one’s Tech student ID on hand. A Tech ID opens the doors literally and figuratively for the student body during the course of their academic career.

The University ID office is located in Room 105 inside the Student Union Building with operation hours lasting between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is where students purchase

their first $25 ID upon arrival at Tech.

To obtain their RaiderCard, a student must present a valid government-issued photo identification. These valid documents include a driver’s license, state-issued ID, military ID or passport, according to the University ID website.

After purchasing an ID once, students do not have to buy a new ID each semester unless it is lost or damaged.

The validity of the card lasts the duration of a student’s enrollment.

Each replacement for losing the card is $20, according to

the University ID website.

On this card contains a student’s R Number, an 8-digit number preceding the letter R. This is used for academic and financial aid advising appointments, Student Health Service appointments and Tech employment applications.

Upon receiving a Tech ID, students are granted access to the following buildings: their respective dorm hall, the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation and Aquatic Center, Library and computer labs at various dorm halls and inside the SUB basement. When

arriving at any of these places, students present or scan their ID to utilize these services.

For dorm hall access, students must use their ID to gain entry into the building after hours. These times change depending on move-in hours and finals season, according to the Housing website.

Students receive free access to the REC center during their enrollment time in classes, according to the REC’s website. If a student forgets or loses their Tech ID, they may still enter the REC by typing out their R Number

at the front desk.

Additionally, the student ID carries tickets to sports events, Dining Bucks for use at Hospitality Locations and basic student information on file at the Student Health Services and Pharmacy at the Wellness Center.

To obtain tickets to sporting events carried on one’s student ID, students must purchase tickets online through the Tech Athletics website. Select sporting events may offer additional opportunities to obtain tickets in person, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Moreover, students have the option to reload or minimize the amount of money included in their respective dining plan. This is possible through Raiderlink, according to the University ID website. In terms of academics, students may be required to present their Tech ID before taking an exam for identification proof, according to the Academic Testing Services website.

For more information about student ID usage, visit the University ID website https://www.depts.ttu.edu/ unvid/.

There, students will have the opportunity to connect with and learn more about what their new community has to offer. Businesses will be handing out freebies, samples, coupons, etc., and door

Care Packages can Help

For many students, college brings new opportunities, people and experiences into their lives. It also introduces stressors that can be difficult to manage as the year

progresses and contribute to a decrease in ambition and performance.

One way parents and loved ones can send care packages specifically tailored to students is through the company Dormify®, which has teamed up with the Residence Halls Association and Raiders

Helping Others to offer Tech residential students and their families an online website to purchase residence hall room essentials and special care package deliveries throughout the academic year. The care packages cost $30 to $200, depending on the

size of the package.

All proceeds support the student organization Raiders Helping Others in planning alternative spring break trips for Tech students, allowing them to volunteer in various communities around the United States. The alternative spring break trips are life-changing experiences for students and everyone involved. Check out the Dormify® website at Texas Tech University | College Care Packages (dormroom.com) or Texas Tech University | Dorm Life, Furniture (dormroom.com).

The Daily Toreador informs, employs students

Toreador Media, located on the first floor of the Media & Communication building Rotunda, is home to the primary sources of news at Texas Tech: the dailytoreador.com website; The Daily Toreador print edition; Raider Life; Raiderland; the Housing Guide; and, twice each year, Finals Frenzy.

These publications are important to life at Tech.

Student learning is a primary focus of Toreador Media, which operates as part of the College of Media & Communication. Students are provided an opportunity to use knowledge gained in the classroom in the practical setting to produce daily content pertaining to campus and local news, sports and entertainment.

Many Toreador Media students are Media & Communication majors, but students from all disciplines can work for Toreador Media.

All publications, productions and broadcasts are outsideof-the-classroom learning activities and are studentrun, meaning student editors oversee content and personnel decisions.

Toreador Media employs 30-50 students each semester as print and multimedia staffers, editors, reporters, photographers, videographers and graphic designers. Volunteer columnists and cartoonists round out the student newsroom team.

Toreador Media advisers enter student-produced work in national, state and regional collegiate media

contests. Last year, The Daily Toreador won awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (including the publication’s first Gold Crown Award, the highest recognition distributed by the CSPA in recognition of overall excellence), the Associated Collegiate Press, Texas Managing Editors and the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association.

The Daily Toreador

First printed in 1925 as The Toreador, The Daily Toreador is an official student publication designated by the Tech Board of Regents to serve as a medium of mass communication for the campus community and to

provide practical experience for students interested in media and communications.

As an independent media outlet serving the Tech community, The Daily Toreador maintains professional standards and ethics, reflecting the best in American journalism.

During the fall and spring semesters, The DT publishes daily online at www.dailytoreador.com and on social media via Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

The publication also distributes 7,000 copies of its once-a-month print issue in racks located throughout the Tech campus.

During the summer sessions, The DT publishes daily

online and produces several specialty publications. The Toreador is one of the oldest student organizations on campus, having published its first edition just hours after Tech’s first football game on Oct. 3, 1925. Toreador Media is gearing up to celebrate The Daily Toreador’s own centennial during the fall semester of 2025.

The Newsroom Newsroom student staffers work as reporters, editors, columnists, graphic designers and photojournalists who cover a wide range of topics – from news about city government to campus administration, feature stories pertaining to campus, Tech sports, and opinions on

subjects of interest to the campus community. Digital Media

The Daily Toreador’s website, www.dailytoreador. com, offers breaking news, photos, videos and timely content beyond that printed in the monthly newspaper. The publication also distributes content daily on social media.

Tech encourages student organizations to build community

All students are encouraged to become involved outside the classroom to enhance their connections and experiences as Red Raiders.

One of the best ways to make connections is through joining a student organization on campus.

TTAA builds relationships between students, alumni

From your first day on campus, the Texas Tech Alumni Association considers you One of Us. And from your first day as a part of the Red Raider family, the TTAA has many resources and benefits to offer students.

It’s never too early to connect with fellow Red Raiders and alumni and an easy way to do that is through Techsan Connection, techsanconnection.com, the official networking platform for Texas Tech University. This partnership with the University Career Center allows alumni and students to develop mentoring relationships and provides a place for students to find internships and jobs. There is no cost to join Techsan Connection. One of the most visible and tangible offerings is the Official Texas Tech Ring. This tradition has become a time-

less and treasured symbol of academic achievement that unites generations of Red Raiders. There are numerous styles available to fit everyone’s individual tastes, but every design features two points of pride for all Red Raiders – the iconic Double T on the face of the ring and the phrase “Strive for Honor” engraved inside to serve as a charge to every Texas Tech graduate to excel with integrity in all endeavors.

Every spring and fall, the TTAA hosts the Official Ring Ceremony, where participants are presented their rings. This ceremony is a moving and meaningful event. Ring recipients are also invited to the ringing of the Victory Bells over their Official Texas Tech Rings, as they gather on the east side of the Administration Building. Recipients are allowed to go up into the tower

as the bells ring in their honor, celebrating their connection to all those wearing their ring, and those who will in the future.

The TTAA also gives back to students. Each spring, the TTAA awards hundreds of scholarships to incoming freshmen as well as undergraduate and graduate students, all funded by alumni contributions. Scholarships are awarded from both the TTAA national organization and many of the 90-plus chapters from across the country.

Throughout my time at Texas Tech, I’ve had the opportunity to serve and lead in many capacities across campus. Within SGA, I have had the honor and privilege of serving in several capacities, beginning with my involvement in the First Year Leadership Association, where I interned for the external vice president. Since then, I have served as a senator for both the college of Arts & Sciences and as a senator at-large. In the 58th Senate Session, I served as the sergeant at-arms as well as the vice-chairman for the Budget & Finance Committee.

However, after taking my tour, I knew that nowhere else would open as many doors as possible to me, and Tech has done just that. Tech has given me endless opportunities.

Throughout the past three years as a Tech student, I have had many opportunities to become involved on campus. Within the Student Government Association, I began as a member of First Year Council. The following

My time at Tech has provided me with opportunities of a lifetime, and this has made my love and passion for this university stretch beyond anything I can imagine. Tech is a place where all students feel empowered to succeed in their walks of life.

One of my favorite things is the family-like culture that surrounds the Tech community. My hope as president is to ensure that every Red Raider feels valued and cared for while a student here and is equipped with the necessary resources to excel both inside and outside of the classroom.

One thing I encourage you to do is to get plugged into a community on campus. Whether that is through your college or a student organization, I encourage as much outreach as possible. Getting plugged in early on will help you create friendships that last a lifetime, and the great thing about Tech is there are plenty of ways to get plugged into a

Hello, Red Raiders. My name is Emilee Sanderson, and I am excited to be serving as the 2023-2024 internal vice president for the study body of Texas Tech. I am a junior studying agricultural and applied economics and general business administration, with a minor in agricultural leadership and a concentration in international agribusiness.

I am a fifth-generation cattle rancher from Blackwell. Agriculture has always been a large part of my life and revealed endless opportunities for growth and perseverance.

When deciding where to pursue my collegiate educational career, I wanted to find a place that would provide those same opportunities. From the moment I stepped foot in Raiderland, I felt it. Every student, faculty and staff member joyfully embraced me as a potential student. I felt the kindness, accountability, inclusion and level of investment that our university makes in every student. This investment is what brought me to the decision to become a Red Raider.

I took an unconventional route from high school to college. By spending a gap year working for a nonprofit organization, I traveled over 45,000 miles across Texas and spoke to over 300 high schools. This experience was pivotal in my

vice president for the 202324 academic year.

leadership development. Now, I am honored to be involved in many capacities on campus. Within the Student Government Association, I have served as a First Year Leadership Association representative, then as a Davis College senator.

Additionally, I serve as an executive officer for my sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. As the vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion, I encourage those around me to look beyond themselves and embrace the uniqueness of our world.

I am a university ambassador, through the President’s Select program. I am also part of many student organizations. I am affiliated with both the Davis College of Agriculture and the Rawls College of Business. I am involved in the Davis College

Agri-Techsans; the Student Agricultural Council; the Tech Food Recovery Network; and the Beta Gamma Sigma International Business Honor Society. I have found a home within each of these groups.

It will be the highest privilege to serve in the Student Government Association alongside my incredibly capable teammates. We are dedicated to listening to the students, to ensure the experiences are valuable beyond their years as students. Our work has just begun.

As internal vice president, I will serve as the president of the Student Senate. Our senate represents every educational facet of Tech and strives for honor by developing meaningful legislation to enact change on campus. I will work to connect

all internal entities of SGA to make certain the cohesive work we do now affects generations of future Red Raiders. I am excited to empower senators to produce legislation that uplifts the student body.

If I can ever be of service to you, please contact me with questions, comments or concerns at emsander@ttu.edu. Feel free to stop by my office, in the Student Union Building, Room 302. I look forward to meeting and hearing the stories of all Red Raiders. Wreck ‘em.

Howdy, Red Raiders, and welcome to the family. My name is Hunter Robinson, and I serve as your graduate

I am originally from Carrollton. I attended Texas Tech for undergrad and obtained my bachelor’s in business administration in May of 2022. From my very first day on our campus, I fell in love with being a Red Raider

and the Red Raider spirit. Tech strives to provide each student with a home away from home, and that was my exact experience.

During my undergraduate career at Tech, I had the pleasure of building connections with my peers through various organizations. While at Tech I was involved with President’s Select as a campus ambassador, served as president for the Residence Halls Association, and worked as a student assistant for the Financial Aid Loan Team and the Visitors Center.

My involvement at Tech taught me that the possibilities were endless. It is because of Tech’s dedicated faculty and staff that I was able to take the first giant leap to achieve my own dreams.

From the age of 6, I knew I wanted to become an attorney. Coming to Tech showed me that what I thought was only a dream could be my reality if I worked hard enough and believed in my own abilities.

This past academic year, I have had the pleasure of ma -

triculating at the Texas Tech School of Law and learning amongst some of the brightest future legal minds I know. In my first year at the law school, I had the opportunity to lead my colleagues as the 1L class president through the Student Bar Association. Being elected to represent my peers in this capacity was such a large opportunity that I will forever be grateful for. Serving as class president yielded immense growth for me as both a student leader and a person. I was also able to build a connection and rapport with many of my colleagues that I would not have if not for my role.

As graduate vice president, my goal during this term is to promote spaces of growth and recognition for each member of the Tech graduate and undergraduate community. What makes Tech so special is that our student body members are some of the most talented individuals. These students deserve to be recognized and cherished as part of what student body members are some of the most talented individuals. These students

deserve to be recognized and cherished as part of what weaves the fabric of the Red Raider family.

I am elated at the opportunity to get to know and connect with every Red Raider and to witness their personal and professional growth over the course of the academic year.

I want to challenge every student to push their boundaries, step out of their comfort zone and try something new. Whether you join a new student organization, take a class that speaks to a secret passion of yours or simply befriend someone you would not traditionally think to connect with, there are endless ways to become connected within the Tech community.

If you ever have any questions, concerns or if you just want to chat, please feel free to stop by my office, which is located on the third floor of the Student Union Building in Room 302A. You can also contact me by email at Hunter.Robinson@ttu.edu and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Wreck ‘em always.

I am elated at the opportunity to get to know and connect with every Red Raider and to witness their personal and professional growth over the course of the academic year.
