Students can participate in more than 40 events.
The Texas Tech University Office of Transition & Engagement will host Winter Raider Welcome Monday (Jan. 14) through Sunday (Jan. 20). New and returning students can participate in more than 40 fun and free events.
"Winter Raider Welcome gives students the chance to learn more about Texas Tech," said Molly McLean, graduate assistant in the Office of Transition & Engagement. "It also is designed to welcome new and returning students home to Texas Tech and to help them make connections with their fellow Red Raiders. We hope all students participating in Winter Raider Welcome have the chance to prepare for the coming semester and build their Texas Tech community."
Throughout the week, students can participate in events focused on academic success, wellness and recreation, social connections, culture and diversity, community involvement and Texas Tech traditions.
