Congratulations Graduating Military or Veteran Family Member!
Since May 2011, Texas Tech University, through the Military & Veterans Programs department, has recognized veterans with a special camo-tipped stole to wear at graduation. In 2013, MVP implemented a Recognition Ceremony where the TTU Graduating Veterans and Service Members received their stole. Although we cannot bestow a Veteran Stole to Family Members graduating from Texas Tech, we still want to recognize you at our upcoming ceremony.
In honor of your upcoming graduation, the MVP staff invites you to our TTU MVP Graduation Stole & Recognition Ceremony. MVP staff members will present each of you with a Certificate of Recognition. We will have an honored keynote speaker.
