MAY 2019 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 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 MAY 2019 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.

MAY 2019 11 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS

ailed as “an artist to treasure” by The New York Times, Susan HGraham rose to the highest echelon of international performers within just a few years of her professional debut, mastering an aston- ishing range of repertoire and genres along the way. Her operatic roles span four centuries, from Monteverdi’s Poppea to Sister Helen Prejean in Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking, which was written especially for her. Among her numerous honors are a Grammy Award for her collection of Ives songs, Musical America’s Vocalist of the Year, and an Opera News Award. As one of the foremost exponents of French vocal music, she has been recognized with the French government’s “Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur.” To launch the 2018-2019 season, Graham reunited with Andris Nel- sons and the Boston Symphony to reprise their celebrated account of Mahler’s Third Symphony at London’s BBC Proms and in Berlin, Leipzig, Vienna, Lucerne, and Paris. Back in the United States, she made her role debut as Humperdinck’s Witch in Doug Fitch’s treatment of “Hansel and Gretel” at LA Opera, returned to Carnegie Hall for Mozart’s “Requiem” and Haydn’s “Nelson Mass” with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and revisited her signature interpretation of Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été with the Houston Symphony. Graham’s earliest operatic successes were in such trouser roles as Cherubino in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro. She went on to triumph as Octavian in Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier and the Composer in his Ariadne auf Naxos. She sang the leading ladies in the Metropolitan Opera’s world premieres of John Harbison’s “The Great Gatsby” and Tobias Picker’s “An American Tragedy,” and made her musical theater debut in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The King and I” at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Gramophone magazine has dubbed her “America’s Favorite Mezzo.”

arry Lopez is an essayist, author, and short-story writer whose first Bstories were published in 1966. He is the author of “Arctic Dreams,” for which he received the National Book Award; “Of Wolves and Men,” a National Book Award finalist, for which he received the John Burroughs and Christopher medals; and eight works of fiction, including “Light Action in the Caribbean,” “Field Notes,” and “Resistance.” His essays are collected in two books, “Crossing Open Ground” and “About This Life.” He contributes regularly to Harper’s, Granta, The Georgia Review, Orion, Outside, The Paris Review, Manoa and other publications. Lopez is a recipient of the Award in Literature from the American Acad- emy of Arts and Letters, the John Hay Medal, Guggenheim, Lannan, and National Science Foundation fellowships, Pushcart Prizes in fiction and nonfiction, the St. Francis of Assisi Award from DePaul University, the Denise Levertov Award from Image magazine, and honors from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the Association of American Geographers, the New York Public Library, the Nature Conservancy, and the American Society of Magazine Editors. In 2002 he was elected a Fellow of The Explorers Club. In 2001, Texas Tech University acquired Lopez’s manuscripts, note- books, field journals, professional correspondence, and other archi- val materials and with them founded the James E. Sowell Family Collection in Literature, Community, and the Natural World. At the same time, to inaugurate the collection, the University also acquired the papers of William Kittredge, David Quammen, Pattiann Rogers, and Annick Smith. Since then, the Sowell Collection has purchased the papers and correspondence of Bill McKibben, Gretel Ehrlich, Gary Nabhan, Rick Bass, David James Duncan, Robert Michael Pyle, John Lane, Marc Reisner, and others. It has also acquired the archives of the The Orion Society and developed supporting collections of work by Edward Abbey, Edward Hoagland, and Howard Norman. Lopez travels to Texas Tech University, where he is the university’s Visiting Distinguished Scholar, at least twice annually.

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.
