Chancellor's Initiatives

Duncan became the fourth chancellor of the Texas Tech University System on July 7, 2014, where he serves as the chief executive officer for all four component institutions and numerous academic sites of Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Angelo State University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso.
In addition to his comprehensive goals for the TTU System, Chancellor Duncan has many special initiatives that are advancing our component universities. From personally recruiting top high school students to honoring faculty, staff, and students through awards and ambassador programs, Chancellor Hance makes it possible at the TTU System.
- Each year, Chancellor’s Awards are announced for distinguished service, teaching and research excellence, and execution throughout the TTU System.
- For undergraduate and graduate students who are leading the way, Chancellor’s Ambassadors are chosen to provide event assistance for the Office of the Chancellor, Institutional Advancement, and the Board of Regents.
- To continue to make it possible from here, the chancellor personally contacts top high school students, pays for their travels to campus, and organizes a tour of campus through his Top Scholars Program.
