I am honored the @TTUSystem Regents have expressed confidence in me and I’m excited about the future of the Texas Tech University System. Texas Tech is the tip of the spear for the future of higher education—leading in academics, athletics, and innovation. The world will continue to see the groundbreaking solutions and unmatched potential coming from this system. Over the past six years, no university system in Texas has taken more bold steps forward. Serving as Chairman of the Senate Education Committee and the Budget Subcommittee has been the honor of a lifetime—especially to help deliver that success for Texas Tech and its regional universities. I feel very blessed to have been considered for the role of Chancellor. There is no greater purpose I would consider than working to make generational changes that transform the lives of young Texans for decades to come. Chancellor Tedd Mitchell has been an outstanding leader for the system for many years and I look forward to carrying his legacy forward. @TexasTech @AngeloState @MSUTexas @TTUHSC @TTHealthElPaso

Congratulations to @TexasTech on being recognized among the top 2.4% of higher education institutions worldwide, earning a place on The Center for World University Rankings' 2026 Global 2,000 List. This distinction reflects the dedication of Texas Tech’s students, faculty, staff and alumni who continue to elevate the university’s impact. “As Texas Tech continues its trajectory as a leading public research university, we remain focused on creating opportunities, advancing knowledge and delivering value for the state of Texas and beyond.” – Dr. Lawrence Schovanec, Texas Tech University president Congratulations to the entire Red Raider community on this outstanding achievement. ttu.edu/now/posts/2026/06/te…

One of the top 100 most influential figures in sports!

Texas led the nation on higher education reform because students deserve degrees of value, taxpayers deserve accountability, and faculty deserve clear expectations. As the author of SB 37 and now Chancellor of Texas Tech University System, I see first hand that academic integrity, strong governance, and rigor go hand in hand. Our world-class faculty and students demonstrate that accountability is critical for excellence—not counter to it. It is great to see other states following Texas' lead. @TTUSystem #txlege #txed insidehighered.com/news/gove…
