Biographical Sketch
Begun in 1927 with the first graduating class, the Texas Tech Alumni
Association went through several name changes before settling on the name of
Ex-Students Association in September, 1949. Another name change occurred in
February 2002 when members of the organization voted to become the Texas Tech
Alumni Association. At this time, the organization had roughly 24,000 members
and believed the name change would attract a larger membership.
The organization represents all who have attending Tech, not just its
graduates, and publishes a bimonthly magazine called the Texas Techsan.
Sponsoring events such as Homecoming, awards programs and chapter activities,
the Ex-Students Association also provides numerous academic scholarships and
offers support for various University and student groups.
Scope and Content
The collection includes annual council meeting materials, Homecoming
planning files from 1956-1985, correspondence of the Executive Board from
1965-1973, Executive Board materials from 1969-1973, various newsclippings from
1962-2002, and copies of miscellaneous campus publications.
