DECEMBER 2018 3 ABOUT TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY

ROM ITS VERY BEGINNING the Texas Tech University community has had a sense of destiny and an awareness 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 largest 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 education 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 colleges: 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 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 preparation 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 during 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.

DECEMBER 2018 11 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

d Whitacre, Jr. joined General Motors as chairman when the Enew company launched in July 2009, and held that position until the end of December 2010. He also served as chief executive officer from December 2009 through August 2010. In his expand- ed leadership role, Whitacre set a clear vision for GM: Design, build, and sell the world’s best vehicles.

As chairman and CEO of AT&T from 1990 until retiring in June 2007, Whitacre led then-SBC Communications (SBC) on a disci- plined growth strategy and through a series of industry-changing mergers and acquisitions, including the 2005 acquisition of AT&T Corp., after which the company adopted the venerable name, AT&T Inc. (AT&T).

Under Whitacre’s leadership, SBC made significant domestic and international investments. In addition, SBC established several groundbreaking strategic partnerships with companies such as Yahoo! and Echostar, enabling SBC to set the pace for DSL sales as well as enter the video market. SBC joined with BellSouth to create Cingular Wireless, which in 2004 acquired AT&T Wireless. SBC and the new AT&T have been repeatedly named by Fortune magazine as the most admired telecommunications company in America and the world. Forbes magazine named AT&T “Com- pany of the Year” for 2006.

Whitacre previously served as a member of The Business Council, the President's National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee, and the boards of the Institute for International Economics, Anheuser-Busch Companies, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, and the PGA Tour.

Born on November 4, 1941 in Ennis, Texas, he graduated from Texas Tech University in 1964 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering. He began his career with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in 1963 as a facility engineer in Lubbock, Texas.

Whitacre’s leadership extends into the community, where he has been actively involved with the Boy Scouts of America, the Board of Regents of Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and United Way.

In recognition of his commitment to business and community, Whitacre was named one of the Top 25 Executives of the Year by BusinessWeek. He also has earned a number of awards for his contributions to business and civic affairs, including the Corporate Leadership Award from the National Minority Supplier Development Council and the Obelisk Leadership Award.

His book, “American Turnaround — Reinventing AT&T and GM and the Way We Do Business in the USA,” with Leslie Cauley, was released in February 2013.

He holds an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, and an honorary Doctor of Laws from University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.

Mr. Whitacre is married to Linda Whitacre, and they have two married daughters and four grandchildren.

14 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY CANDIDATES FOR GRADUATE DEGREES

The doctoral degree is the most advanced earned degree conferred by American institutions of higher learning. The doctorate usually 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 baccalaureate. Both a thesis and an oral examination are usually but not always required. When applicable, the graduate’s thesis topic is listed.

22 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY CANDIDATES FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

The bachelor’s degree represents completion of a four-year course of college-level study and is the oldest academic degree awarded by American institutions of higher learning. Graduation with Honors is a distinction that is noted on diplomas and transcripts and receives special recognition at graduation ceremonies. Undergraduates who complete their work with a cumulative grade point average of 3.9 or above are graduated Summa Cum Laude; 3.7 to 3.89, Magna Cum Laude; 3.5 to 3.69, Cum Laude. Those who graduate from the Honors College after acquiring 24 Honors credit hours graduate “with Honors.” Those who also complete an Honors thesis or project consisting of six additional hours graduate “with Highest Honors.”
