Texas Tech Alumni Association The Texas Tech Alumni Association (TTAA) is an independent non-profit organization established in 1927 by the first graduating class of Texas Technological College, now Texas Tech University, to support the university and maintain a lifelong connection between Texas Tech’s loud and proud alumni and the university. The association provides both volunteer service and financial support for the association’s mission, the university, the administration, faculty, students and alumni. The association is governed by a National Board of Directors that sets policies for the organization, oversees operations and finances, and directs and supervises the programs and strategic plan of the association. In 1969, the association office relocated from the Administration Building, where it had been housed since 1937, to the former president’s home, now the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center. The TTAA offers membership to alumni and friends in various levels and boasts a membership base of more than 30,000. The TTAA uses membership contributions to fund the following programs and initiatives: • A Matador Evening • Academic Scholarships • Academic Recruiting • Alumni Networks • Career Services • Chapter Events • Community Service Award • Distinguished Alumni Awards • Distinguished Service Awards • Endowed Professorships • Excellence Grants • Graduation Lapel Pins • High School Counselor Conference • Highest Ranking Graduate Awards • Lauro F. Cavazos Award • New Faculty Awards • Official Texas Tech Class Rings • Red Raider Orientation • Student Alumni Association • Student Alumni Board • Texas Tech Legacy Program • Texas Techsan Magazine • Top Techsan Awards • www.texastechalumni.org 2020 Texas Tech Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship Guide 3
Official Texas Tech Class Ring History Since 1999, Texas Tech had one universal symbol of academic achievement—The Official Texas Tech Class Ring. The single ring is a tradition that has been brought back from the 1950s. This ring evokes special memories of the occasions and traditions of Texas Tech, the “Fight Song” sung at the stadium with the Masked Rider leading our the team. Raider Red giving fans the “Guns Up” and firing his shotguns. The unforgettable images created during the Carol of Lights where the red, white and gold holiday lights cast their spell over the campus. The ring is a symbolic, continuous link with classmates, friends and generations of alumni. It is an opportunity for alumni to bear their banner wherever they go. Our unique ring design is reserved exclusively for individuals who have successfully met the university’s standards. Designed by a group of Texas Tech students, alumni and administrators, the ring will remain unchanged into the university’s future. As a symbol of Texas Tech tradition, it is instantly recognizable—a tangible connection for those who are graduating, while the visual continuity will generate an exclusive link with graduates in years to come. Those able to wear the ring proudly state to others, “I am a person of honor, a Texas Tech graduate—a Red Raider for life!” For the graduates and their peers, it holds a whole world of meaning. Ring Components Each ring symbolically captures the essence of Texas Tech with the prominent Double T standing proud, surrounded by the university’s full name and date of foundation. On one shoulder of the ring, you will find the Administration Building, with the bells that represent victory. On the other shoulder is the university seal. Of course, the ring would not be complete without the appearance of the Masked Rider! Inside, each official ring is forged with STRIVE FOR HONOR. This inscription is from “The Matador Song” and serves as a charge to every Texas Tech graduate to excel with integrity in all endeavors. The ring is engraved with the recipient’s initials, degree and class year. Official Texas Tech Ring Savings Program The Texas Tech Alumni Association is proud to offer the Official Texas Tech Class Ring Savings Program, which allows students to save over time for the ultimate symbol of college success. With the Ring Savings Program, a refundable $75 is conveniently added as an optional fee to tuition and fee statements for spring and fall semesters beginning as early as freshman year. Students can do this easily through raiderlink.ttu.edu. Once students meet eligibility, the saved amount can then be applied toward the purchase of the Official Texas Tech Class Ring. 4 2020 Texas Tech Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship Guide

He was also known as the “Flagman” for many years at many of the short track, TT Scrambles and Motocross races in the West Texas area, always giving of himself to maintain and grow the sport. Donald Brady was very similar. He was an active racer in Enduro’s, short track, and TT Scrambles, but most will remember him for the time he gave unselfishly as Gas Marshall of the Texas State Championship Enduro Circuit, TSCEC. Donald saw the need, volunteered and did an amazing job of preserving order and safety at the gas stops.
