Our Mission

educational events to enhance each student’s individual experience at Texas Tech University.

TAB plays a vital role in fostering and developing Red Raider spirit and traditions such as Homecoming, RaiderGate, Arbor Day,
and Rock the Plaza and in creating community on the Texas Tech University campus.
Our Values

the image of TAB and producing quality events

In the 2009-2010 school year, 1124 participants were surveyed at the completion of a TAB
event they attend, 478 were male and 593 were female. This equates to 42% male and
roughly 53% female. This past semester, the Tech Activities Board drew in a larger female
population than a male population. Approximately 5% of students surveyed last year
indicated either “other” or did not respond to the question.

The TAB evaluation specifically asks what race participants are to determine if we are
appealing to our underrepresented populations. Approximately 20% of the students that
attended our events were Hispanic/Latino, 10% were Asian-American and 6% of the
surveyed attendees identified as African-American. Last year, about 13% of individuals in
attendance at our events were Hispanic, while our African-American and Asian-American
populations were 7% respectively.

The data for diversity statistics for Tech students in the year 2008 came from the online
Texas Tech University Fact Book. Converting these numbers into percentages and
comparing them to our own statistics and percentages yielded positive results. The statistical
comparisons in percentages show how close TAB and Tech are in their attractiveness to
underrepresented populations through programming. Proportionately, TAB attracts a larger
percentage of underrepresented populations at their events than Texas Tech has as part of
their overall population. Last year, the Tech Activities Board also attracted a higher
percentage of underrepresented students than the university population reflected.

they attended. As we continue, TAB will look to different ways to incorporate academics
into the programmatic aspects of the events, for example co-sponsorships with academic
departments.

The Tech Activities Board makes efforts to create events that student organizations and
departments on campus value and have a vested interest in. Many of these relationships
often involve co-sponsoring events with organizations, but many student organizations
attend the events as a group. Last year, 9% of individuals surveyed reported that they
attended the event and part of a student organization function. This year, that percentage
remained the same at 9%.

Last year, TechAnnounce was by far our best publicity for events, but this year word of
mouth seems to have been the most effective form of publicity, followed by TechAnnounce,
posters, the TAB Calendar, and Facebook. Last year, the use of Facebook increased
drastically and continued that growth this year. TAB is looking to utilize other social
networking tools such as Twitter to market events in the future. Also, individuals who
reported “other” have shown a dramatic increase in the few years. This may be related to
expectation that TAB utilized unconventional forms of marketing to promote their events
throughout campus.

The venues, although varied, seemed to greatly please the majority of students. Places that
were generally utilized to hold events, included the Allen Theatre, Matador Room, and SUB
West Basement. While most of our events take place in the Student Union, TAB considers
itself the programming board for the entire campus and will look to utilize other venues
throughout campus as well as a few locations off campus. Last year, 59% of the sample
indicated that the venue was excellent and this year the percentage is around 55%. It is good
to know that 2% of the sample indicated that the venue used was below average or poor.

Time varies greatly for TAB events. We offer several smaller events during the daytime,
many of our larger events after 6:00 P.M., and our movie times are shown twice, once in the
evening and once in the afternoon, to appeal to as many students as possible. Overall, it
would seem that our wide array of times pleases the students. Last year, 57% of the sample
indicated that the time selected for the event was excellent and this year the number has
almost stayed the same at 56%. It is good to know that 2% of the sample indicated that the
time of the events were below average or poor.

TAB takes into consideration midterms, finals, home athletic games and tries to offer our
events at times when students have no other commitments. Last year, 57% of the sample

weather and other related complications. It is good to know that 2% of the sample indicated
that the dates chosen were below average or poor. Of course, the people surveyed were able
to attend the event so they more than likely were pleased with the day of the event.

This is potentially the most important statistic of the entire evaluation. Many things may
make a student disgruntled: venue, date of event, subject matter; however it is the overall
feeling after the event that is most important. We want students to leave with a smile on
their face thinking, “That was awesome! I love being a Tech student and I love TAB.” Last
year, 62% of the sample indicated that the time selected for the event was excellent and this
year the number was 54%.

“Paying Your TAB” Rewards Program
“Paying your TAB” is a rewards program for students that frequent Tech Activities Board events. Students complete
a registration form and are then given a “Paying your TAB” punch card. For every event a student attends in the fall
or spring, they receive a punch. Once the student has attended ten (10) events and receives ten (10) punches, they
can then turn their card in to be entered in to win prizes. Participation in the “Paying your TAB” program gives the
student the opportunity to be on a bi-monthly email newsletter that informs students about upcoming TAB events.
In the 2009-2010 school year, 774 students participated in the Paying Your Tab Rewards
program, a 15% decrease from the 2008-2009 school year.

Student Organizations
Mission and Values
Getting Involved
As a part of the Texas Tech University community, students have the opportunity to join registered student organizations
including service, academic, professional, and religious groups to name a few.
Student organizations impact who students meet at college, the skills they learn, the confidence they build, and the leadership
positions they take on. Most successful students join student organizations in their freshman year where they make friends and
start to develop support networks. Many organizations provide students with the opportunity to meet and interact with people in
the professional career areas they intend to pursue, as well as make life long friends. Being in a student group is a critical part of
the college experience and helps determine success in higher education.
Involvement Is Easy
Joining a student organization is the greatest way to get involved on campus and also one of the easiest. There are approximately
450 organizations currently registered at Texas Tech University with over 20,000 members participating in these groups – this is
a quick way to get connected on campus. Since there are thirteen categories of student organizations linked to every aspect of
campus life, it is very difficult not to be involved.
