DEC 2023 Convocation is scheduled for Dec 14.

Hispanic Graduation Convocation

The Raiders Rojos network celebrates the accomplishments of Hispanic graduates from the Texas Tech University System with the annual spring Hispanic Graduation Convocation.   The procession of graduates and special guests kicks off the celebration to the music of Mariachis.  Graduates are presented with a cultural stole during the individual recognition of each graduate.

 In 2006, the chapter began recognizing the Distinguished Alum and Distinguished Alumni Family during the event.  Honorees are nominated based upon their contributions toward advancing higher education for Hispanics.  Additionally, the Distinguished alumni family honorees must have at least two generations of Texas Tech graduates within the family. Nominations for Distinguished Alumni Family honoree will close on April 1.  Click here for instructions to nominate a family.
