We are Texas Tech University
WE ARE TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY
From here, it's possible.
Texas Tech University prides itself on being a major
comprehensive research university that retains the sense of a
smaller liberal arts institution with an enrollment of over
30,000 students.
 Created by legislative action in 1923.
 The major institution of higher education
in a region larger than 46 of the nation’s 50
states.
 The campus is home to a major university,
law school and medical school.
WE ARE TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY
Lubbock, Texas
pop. 300,000-
 Lubbock Lake Landmark: continuous
human habitation for 12,000 – 15,000 yrs.
 Texas annually produces about 25% of the
entire U.S. crop with over 9,000 square
miles of cotton fields!
 According to a study released by the nonpartisan Bay Area Center for Voting
Research, Lubbock is the second most
conservative city in the United States.
FROM HERE, IT IS POSSIBLE!
“I think of Lubbock as the energy capitol of the world: oil, natural gas, inexpensive
coal, biomass, wind and solar. We are water rich. Lubbock sets on a body of
water greater in size than the great lakes, the Ogallala Aquifer.”

 Day 2: World Cafes
• University Community
• Administrators and Managers
http://www.theworldcafe.com/
As a conversational process, the World Café is an
innovative yet simple methodology for hosting
conversations about questions that matter. These
conversations link and build on each other as people
move between groups, cross-pollinate ideas, and
discover new insights into the questions or issues that
are most important in their life, work, or community.
