Texas Tech Alumni Association announces transition to become part of university
The Texas Tech Alumni Association is joining the university, shifting away from its previous status as a separately operated non-profit organization, leaders from Tech and the Alumni Association announced in a joint statement late Wednesday. According to its website, the Alumni Association has been an independent non-profit organization established by the first graduating class of Texas Technological College, now Texas Tech University. Leaders from the Texas Tech System, TTU and the Alumni Association released a joint statement late Wednesday announcing that the Alumni Association would become part of the university: The full statement, sent from an Alumni Association email account, reads: "As we set our sights on an even brighter future for Texas Tech University, we are excited to share a new era in our relationship with the Texas Tech Alumni Association (TTAA). To strengthen the connection between Texas Tech and our alumni, the TTAA will now transition to become part of the university. This new alignment with TTAA will ensure stronger integration of our shared mission and Texas Tech's long-term goals. This change allows us to enhance stewardship, streamline operations and increase transparency while continuing to deliver the programs and traditions you value most. From scholarship support and alumni events to cherished milestones like the class ring, the experiences that define Red Raider pride will continue under this new structure. For nearly a century, the TTAA has operated as a separate nonprofit, closely partnered with Texas Tech but governed independently. Recent discussions between university leadership, the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents and the TTAA focused on bolstering and greater alignment of alumni engagement with the university's strategic priorities. The result is a more unified approach that will preserve tradition and recognize the organization's history while building new opportunities for deeper involvement. Your support is vital to this momentum and our continued success. Whether you're mentoring students, supporting student scholarships or gathering with fellow Red Raiders before kickoff, you are helping shape the future of our university. We understand this decision introduces change and a period of transition, and we remain committed to communicating with transparency and care throughout the process. Above all, we are united by our shared passion for Texas Tech and a desire to enhance the bonds that connect us across generations. Thank you for your loyalty, spirit and unwavering commitment to Texas Tech. With gratitude, President Lawrence Schovanec, TTU Chancellor Tedd L. Mitchell, TTU System Chairman Cody Campbell, TTU System Board of Regents Vice Chairman Dustin R. Womble, TTU System Board of Regents Curt Langford, TTAA President and CEO Chair Missi Currier, TTAA National Board of Directors According to its current website, the Alumni Association has been 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.

MADIKERI: As several government schools are struggling to see the light of the day due to non-maintenance, an alumni association of a government school in Kodagu is striving towards renovating the institution. Funds adding to over Rs 10 lakh are being collected to enable the renovation and revival process of the school building. The Suntikoppa Government Primary School, established 108 years ago, has educated lakhs of students. The institution was expanded with high school education 44 years ago. However, the lack of funds for development works had remained a challenge. The institution did not even record a centenary celebration due to financial issues. However, the alumni of the institution became active recently and are now involved in the revival process of the institution. Recently, a group of alumni organised a reunion event as a Guru Vandhana programme, which witnessed participation from the former teaching staff. The Alumni Association was launched as plans took shape to renovate the school building, which is in a vulnerable condition.
