Also, TIEHH will receive special recognition from the State of Texas Legislature and the U.S. Congress during this event.

"Ten years ago, the dream was to establish a top-flight environmental toxicology program at Texas Tech University," Kendall said. " Now, as we celebrate our accomplishments for a program that has been rated at the top of its field in the nation, we can reflect on what can happen when Texas Tech University and the Lubbock community, along with the State of Texas, work together to achieve excellence."
A student toxicology expo will follow at 1 p.m. in the auditorium. At 6 p.m., TIEHH will hold a 10-Year Anniversary Gala, "Reviewing the Past, Shaping the Future," at Cagle Steaks Banquet Facility, The Rafters, to celebrate its accomplishments and recognize everyone who has helped the institute become a success.
On Thursday (May 10), TIEHH will host an open house and tours that will be open to the public from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. in Building 555 at Reese Technology Center.
