Becoming a part of the Honor’s College at Texas Tech has been one of the best decisions I have made in college. The faculty and staff know who I am and genuinely care about me, they create a family environment.
The Honor’s College been has been a vital part in pursuing my dream of improving education in Africa through my non-profit Students FOR Students. They have been there throughout my student career and I am so grateful I was able to be a part of the Honor’s College family.
