Did you know... that 45% of Texas Tech's annual operating budget comes from alumni support?

The Office of Annual Giving Programs at Texas Tech conducts a telephone outreach program for the College of Educaiton which runs throughout the year. The program hires approximately 40 to 60 Texas Tech students to call alumni and parents. The students spend about 10 minutes visiting with alumni, telling them about the advancements of the university and asking them to make a contribution to the College of Education. The goal of the telephone outreach program is to work through the entire database and begin a tradition among College of Education graduates of receiving a phone call from a Texas Tech student. This program brings in new donors and renews and upgrades current donors as well as building a bridge between the College of Education and its constituents.

Annual gifts immediately go to work by providing scholarships, faculty development and research grants for the College and its students. Annual Giving dollars help provide the extras that make a vital difference between a good College and a great one.

The TTU Telephone Outreach Program was created to serve both as a fund-raising and public relations tool. Therefore, one of our goals is to call our alumni to update our records, answer special requests and provide information.
