Thank You Veterans!

Texas Tech University would like to thank all past and present veterans for protecting our country.  This University is proud of our students and alumni in the armed forces.  Here are some stories about current students and alumni serving our country.

Texas Tech is committed to honoring those brave Americans, several Red Raiders among them.

Darryn Andrews

Darryn and his twin brother enjoyed their college experience together at Texas Tech. Both were members of the FIJI fraternity and played intramural sports. After graduating with a degree in international business, Darryn still had the military on his mind.

He died a hero, during his second tour in Afghanistan. Read More >>
