MAY 2020 3 ABOUT TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY

ROM ITS VERY BEGINNING the Texas Tech University community has had a sense of destiny and an aware- ness of the impact it could and would have on Texas and the wider world. Originally namedF Texas Technological College, Texas Tech opened in 1925 with six buildings, four schools (Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, and Liberal Arts), and an enrollment of 914. Texas Tech grew rapidly after World War II, and in 1969 the Texas legislature approved a name change to Texas Tech University. In the years since, Texas Tech has grown to become the larg- est comprehensive higher education institution in the western two-thirds of the state. As the only campus in Texas that is home to a major university, law school, and medical school, the university is the major institution of higher edu- cation in a region larger than 46 of the nation’s 50 states. Today, Texas Tech continues to thrive, with more than 38,000 students enrolled in its 11 col- leges: Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resourc- es, Architecture, Arts & Sciences, Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration, Education, Edward E. Whitacre, Jr. College of Engineer- ing, Honors College, Human Sciences, Media & Communication, J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts, and the Graduate School, as well as University Programs via the Provost’s Office. The institution’s goal is to enroll 40,000 students by 2020. Because of its educational scope and purpose, as well as the size of the region it serves, Texas Tech University operates in numerous Texas lo- cations beyond the Lubbock campus. In all, the Texas Tech University System—which includes Texas Tech University, Angelo State University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Cen- ter at El Paso—has more than 44,000 students enrolled.

4 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY MAY 2020 5 6 INCE TEXAS TECH’S FIRST graduation ceremony in the spring of 1927, more than 200,000 undergraduate and graduate degrees have been awarded by the university. From these proud graduates Shave emerged captains of industry, world-re- nowned surgeons, noted authors, famous singers, acclaimed teachers and professors, attorneys, en- trepreneurs, agronomists, scientists, professional athletes, and countless others who have claimed positions of service and responsibility in a rapidly changing world. Texas Tech University graduates have governed states, flown in space, served as Presidential cabi- net members, won Olympic gold medals, served as ambassadors to foreign countries, acted on Broadway stages, won Pulitzer Prizes, served in Congress, led Fortune 500 companies, and been watched by millions on network television news. Not all graduates will achieve fame and fortune in equal measure, but all Texas Tech graduates can point with pride to the solid academic prepa- ration they received and the personal connec- tions they made as Red Raiders. For beneath the spacious skies of West Texas and in the halls of brick and tile through which they strolled dur- ing their time on campus, generations of Texas Tech students have been provided a foundation for success that is without parallel. As they take their first steps into careers that will see many of them literally change the world, they can remem- ber with certainty one important fact about Texas Tech University: From here, it’s possible.

MAY 2020 9 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

y now, the rest of the sports world knows what BTexas Tech fans, students, and alumni already knew. Patrick Mahomes is special. The record-setting quarterback who came to Texas Tech University as a dual-sport, three-star recruit is now a world champion after leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl championship in February. His name is now everywhere, and in his third year as a pro football player, he graces the cover of the Madden 20 video game. From his 80-yard throws to his no-look passes, Mahomes has become one of the best players in the world, and his highlights are must-see TV on a nightly basis. Still, through all the attention and rise to stardom, he has remained the same humble, down-to-earth player who arrived in Lubbock in 2014. It’s been quite a ride for a kid from Whitehouse, Texas. The son of former Major League Baseball pitcher Pat Mahomes, Patrick came to Texas Tech after a standout career at Whitehouse High School in both football and baseball. He did, briefly, play both sports for the Red Raiders, spending the 2015 season on the Texas Tech baseball team before deciding to give up baseball and focus on his football career. That focus paid off. After playing in seven games as a freshman and throwing for 1,547 yards and 16 touchdowns to just four interceptions, Mahomes took over as the starting quarterback for the Red Raiders for the 2015 season and immediately lit the college football world on fire. As a sophomore, he led the Big 12 Conference in pass completions (364), pass attempts (573), passing yards (4,653), and passing touchdowns (36). He also rushed for 456 yards and 10 touchdowns to lead the conference in all-purpose yards. As a junior, he took the next step. He led the entire NCAA in passing yards (5,052) and total yards (5,537) while again leading the Big 12 in completions (388), attempts (591), and touchdowns (41). His playmaking ability made him one of the top selections in the 2016 NFL draft, and the Kansas City Chiefs moved up in the draft just to select him at No. 10 overall. After sitting for his rookie season, Mahomes took over as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback for 2017 and immediately sat the sports world on its ear. He picked up where he left off in college, making the pro game look easy by throwing for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns—both Chiefs single-season records—in leading Kansas City to the AFC Championship game. For his season, Mahomes was named the NFL Most Valuable Player. With expectations rising, Mahomes rose as well to the challenge while also overcoming adversity. He injured his knee in the middle of the season but missed just two weeks, returning to lead the Chiefs to their fourth straight division title and a first-round bye in the playoffs. Kansas City routed Houston then avenged an earlier loss to Tennessee to reach the Super Bowl, where Mahomes led the Chiefs to 21 straight points in the final nine minutes of the game to rally for a 31-20 victory. For the effort, Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP. And he’s just getting started.

10 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY STUDENT SPEAKERS

licia M. Goodman has completed a Ph.D. in Fine Arts – Theatre Awith foci in Arts Administration and History/Theory/Criticism. Her dissertation focuses on transatlantic arts management practices, organizational behavior, and tandem management in the arts.

Alicia has taught in Japan and Spain, and will begin her post-graduate career teaching at Indiana State University as a professor of Theatre Management and Administration.

eira Eynon grew up in Longview, Texas, with her loving family. KShe is the oldest of four siblings, and from a young age, her par- ents taught her little sisters, brother, and her that one should never give up and always treat and love others in a way that Jesus loves us all. Keira was in a fatal car wreck on May 31, 2014, that killed her Dad and brother and almost killed her too. She had to learn how to cope with that trauma and also how to live again. It was not easy by any means, but by the grace of God, hard work, determination, and work ethic, she did it! Keira was accepted into Texas Tech University in 2017 and now is graduating in three years and with honors despite the traumatic brain injury she received from the car wreck. Keira wouldn’t be the woman she is today if it were not for her amazing family, friends, and of course, Jesus Christ. To everyone who has been a part of her journey, thank you. When asked to leave a word of advice to fellow Red Raiders, Keira said, “No matter what life brings your way, never give up and always know you are capable and strong and can do this.” Wreck ‘Em Tech!

MAY 2020 13 CANDIDATES FOR GRADUATE DEGREES

The doctoral degree is the most advanced earned degree conferred by American institutions of higher learning. The doctorate usu- ally represents prolonged periods of advanced study culminating in a dissertation intended to contribute substantially to the body of knowledge on the subject. The most widely sought doctorate is the Doctor of Philosophy, which no longer has an implication of philosophy as the major field of study but represents advanced research in any of the major fields of knowledge. The master’s degree is an academic honor bestowed upon students who have successfully completed work beyond the baccalaure- ate. Both a thesis and an oral examination are usually but not always required. When applicable, the graduate’s thesis topic is listed.

Who’s Sitting on a Horse? (And Why Is He Red?)

Will Rogers was one of the most famous entertainers in Ameri- ca in the 1920s and ’30s, and his longtime friend, Amon Carter, was Texas Tech’s first chairman of the Board of Directors. Rog- ers donated $200 for the Texas Tech band to play at the football game against TCU in 1926 because he wanted people “to hear a real band.” Then the cowboy humorist donated $1,500 to buy band uniforms for the trip to Fort Worth. A few years after Rogers perished in a plane crash, Carter presented the statue of Rogers and his horse, Soapsuds, to Texas Tech. Sculpted by 18-year-old Electra Waggoner Biggs, the statue is one of four in the nation. Before every home game, the Saddle Tramps wrap “Old Will” with red crepe paper. The statue also has been wrapped in black to mourn national tragedies. Raider Red or the Masked Rider? Not every university wants a horse in its stadium, so Texas Tech had to find an alternate mascot prior to the 1971 football season. That was the year the school’s athletic conference passed a rule that prevented taking live animals to non-home games. That also was the year Raider Red was born from the imagination of cartoonist Dirk West. Raider Red changes from boots to soft-soled shoes for games, and his student persona is kept a secret as he mingles with the crowds. The Texas Tech Class Ring

As a constant reminder of their academic achievements and the traditions of Texas Tech University, students proudly wear the official Texas Tech class ring. This bronze sculpture of the official class ring sits next to the Merket Alumni Center. Traditionally the rings are worn with the university name facing inward when the students’ hands are extended. After the degree is granted on graduation day, the ring can be turned around so that the name faces outward, a symbol that the new alumnus has a Texas Tech diploma and is ready to face the world.

The first athletic teams of the univer- sity were known as the Matadors, a name that reflected the Spanish ar- chitectural influence on campus. The change from Matadors to Red Raiders occurred after a Lubbock Avalanche- Journal writer commented on the red uniforms and strong season of the 1932 football team, saying “the Red Raiders from Texas Tech” were the “terror of the Southwest Confer- ence.” The name caught on and by 1936 the team was renamed the Red Raiders. No changes were ever made to the lyrics of the school song, which was penned in 1930. Page from 1936 Student Handbook courtesy of the Southwest Collection.
