University to Host Volunteer Fair

September 16, 2021

Students are invited to discover ways to give back to the university and the Lubbock community.

Texas Tech University's Student Union & Activities will host its annual volunteer fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday (Sept. 20) in the Student Union Building (SUB) ballroom. The fair will feature many student organizations and community agencies providing a multitude of opportunities where students can volunteer their time and talents.

“The fair's purpose is to connect students with various volunteer agencies around the Lubbock community,” said Loni Crosby, administrator of Student Union & Activities. “It's important for students to attend because volunteering is a great way to meet new people, help others and grow as an individual, all of which we want students to experience during their time here at Texas Tech.”

Beyond making a difference, volunteering is an excellent way to connect with other individuals who share similar interests. After the isolation that COVID-19 brought, volunteering helps to slowly rebuild face-to-face connectivity.

Texas Tech University

A new era of excellence is dawning at Texas Tech University as it stands on the cusp of being one of the nation's premier research institutions.

Research and enrollment numbers are at record levels, which cement Texas Tech's commitment to attracting and retaining quality students. In fall 2020, the university achieved a goal more than a decade in the making, reaching a total student population of more than 40,000. In 2018, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education again placed Texas Tech among its top doctoral universities in the nation in the “Very High Research Activity” category. Texas Tech is one of 94 public institutions nationally and 131 overall to achieve this prestigious recognition.

Quality students need top-notch faculty. Texas Tech is home to a diverse, highly revered pool of educators who excel in teaching, research and service. The university strives to foster an environment that celebrates student accomplishment above all else. Texas Tech is large enough to provide the best in facilities and academics but prides itself on being able to focus on each student individually.

The momentum for excellence at Texas Tech has never been greater.
