There\u2019s no question that Texas Tech University<\/a>\u2019s reputation for excellence is growing. One measure of that fact is the sheer number

\n West Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strive to build emotional connections to the Texas Tech brand,\u201d said Matt Dewey,
\n vice president for Marketing & Communications. \u201cThat we\u2019re clearly succeeding, even
\n among our higher education peers who have no connection to Texas Tech, shows us we\u2019re
\n making a difference in how Texas Tech is perceived across the country and around the
\n world. That\u2019s tremendously exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n
