University to Host Tech-or-Treat

October 22, 2021

Families can bring their children to campus for a fun, safe night of Halloween fun.

Texas Tech University's Student Union & Activities will host Tech-or-Treat from 5-9 p.m. on Wednesday (Oct. 27) in the Student Union Building. Attendees are asked to park in lot R-3 or R-11.

Tech-or-Treat is a classic kid's carnival where families can take their young ones to enjoy Halloween activities indoors. Student organizations and university departments will host different booths with games and activities for families and children to enjoy. The event is open to the community and families are invited to bring a children's book to donate to the Children's Advocacy Center.

“Tech-or-Treat is a great way for families in our community to safely enjoy a night of Halloween activities and trick-or-treating,” said Michelle Morris, administrator for Student Union & Activities.

Parents are asked to stay with their children at all times. There also will be event staff identifiable by volunteer badges to ensure safety.

While costumes are encouraged, visitors over the age of 14 are asked to refrain from wearing masks or face paint. Costumes that include weapons or items that resemble weapons will not be allowed.

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.
