We had a great time attending the Red Raider Orientation Student Organization Fairs and sharing all that the School of Financial Planning has to offer! It was exciting to meet so many new faces, welcome incoming Red Raiders, and connect with students interested in financial planning. We cannot wait to see what this new academic year brings! ❤️🖤

Howdy! My name is Travis Furlow, and I’m honored and excited to serve as the new Coordinator of Events and Communication for the School of Financial Planning.

In my short time here, I've already been inspired by the outstanding people and innovative work taking place across the school. I look forward to working with each of you and supporting our continued success.

A little about me: I’m a proud fifth-generation West Texan from Seminole, Texas, and a Texas Tech graduate with degrees in Mass Communication and Digital Media & Professional Communication. I’m passionate about serving others, learning, and leaving things better than I found them.

If you're ever on campus, please feel free to stop by and say hello! I look forward to meeting you.

FPA Camp 2026 was one for the books! 🎉
Last week was filled with learning, laughter, teamwork, and so many unforgettable moments. From hands-on activities and inspiring sessions to campus experiences, project work, and new friendships, our campers showed up with energy, curiosity, and excitement every single day.
We loved watching them grow in confidence, connect with one another, and make memories that will last far beyond camp. A huge thank you to our campus, speakers, staff, and everyone who helped make this week so special!
Until next time, FPA Camp! 🌟

Day 4 of FPA Camp was filled with exciting opportunities and more hands-on learning! 💼✨

Our campers had the incredible opportunity to meet Tim Dodd, Dean of the TTU College of Health & Human Sciences. Getting to hear from and connect with Dean Dodd was such a meaningful experience, and we are so grateful he took the time to encourage and support our campers as they continue exploring the world of financial planning.

Throughout the day, campers also continued working on their team projects, putting their creativity, collaboration, and financial knowledge into action. To make the day even more memorable, they got to visit Jones AT&T Stadium and experience a little extra Texas Tech spirit! 🏟️❤️

What an exciting day of learning, leadership, and connection at FPA Camp!

FPA Camp has been full of creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning! 💼✨

Our campers have been hard at work exploring financial planning concepts, building their projects, working together in their teams, and gaining real-world experience along the way. It has been so exciting to see their ideas come to life and watch them grow throughout the week.

We can’t wait to see what they accomplish next! 👏
