Texas Tech Office of Advancement

Shades of Black

From the smallest of details to the most iconic sights, you can see our signature color all across campus.

Rachel Morales has joined the Office of Advancement as Assistant Director of Development for Gift Planning. Please join us in welcoming her to the team!

Rachel has over 15 years of experience in higher education advancement, where she has developed a deep understanding of the transformative impact of philanthropy. We are delighted to have her share her expertise and passion for building meaningful donor relationships now that she is here at Texas Tech.

We're excited to have Bailee Wright join our Advancement team as Associate Director of Development for Corporate & Foundation Relations!

Throughout her career, Bailee has been dedicated to supporting communities across Texas and is now here to bring her expertise and talent to foster partnerships that will create opportunities for the Red Raider Community.

There is a new addition to the Leadership Annual Giving team! Join us in welcoming Hannah Hutchison as she begins her career as a Development Associate.

Hannah earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from McMurry University this past May and is eager to embrace the Red Raider way of life. She brings a fresh perspective as a recent graduate and positive energy that will help expand support for students across campus through the meaningful conversations she will have.

Built brick by brick for the last century. Texas Tech has been recognized for its research and academic excellence, ranking among the top 2.4% of universities worldwide by the Center for World University Rankings.

Since the creation of this institution, Texas Tech has been a place where dreamers inspire dreamers to change the world through the power of education.

The impact of generosity on our students, faculty, and research is a part of what has led to this recognition. https://www.ttu.edu/now/posts/2026/06/texas-tech-remains-among-top-universities-in-latest-rankings.php

Our team is continually growing! Casey Verhulst joined us in the College of Health & Human Sciences as an Assistant Director of Development this May.

Casey is a Red Raider through and through, having played on the offensive line for Texas Tech Football from 2019 to 2021 and graduated from the Rawls College of Business.

We are excited to welcome him to our Advancement team and look forward to seeing how he strengthens Red Raider pride throughout the ON&ON Campaign for Texas Tech University.

Through the ON&ON Campaign, Red Raiders are proving that investing in every part of Texas Tech is what will carry us into a second century defined by impact and achievement.

The progress we’ve made is significant, but we’re pushing even further because when we say we're creating a legacy for Texas Tech that goes ON&ON, it means there will always be new horizons to reach.

We’ve never settled for expectations set by others, and we’re not starting now. Join us in our vision for a bolder and brighter future shaped by Red Raiders.

A window with a view that reflects the path that led us here and the future of possibilities we're building one bold step at a time.
