The SGA paves the way to student success.
Development
Digging in: Texas Tech officials and students break ground on a sidewalk running from the Central Administration Building to the heart of Memorial Circle. The sidewalk will soon be paved with bricks bearing the names of donors to the student-driven Paving the Way to Student Success scholarship campaign.Texas Tech’s Student Government Association has broken ground on its tribute to donors in the Paving the Way to Student Success scholarship campaign.
The ambitious, student-led drive seeks $5 million for new merit and opportunity student scholarships by allowing donors to purchase a brick with the donor’s name on it. The bricks, highlighting three levels of giving, will be placed in a sidewalk leading from the Administration Building to Memorial Circle.
“These bricks will serve as a permanent tribute to the donor’s generosity in the heart of Texas Tech’s picturesque campus,” said Ryan Worley, president of the Student Government Association.
Three levels of giving – Distinguished, at $1,000 or more; Leadership, at $10,000 or more; and Excellence, at $100,000 or more – are recognized.
The campaign, launched in November, is the brainchild of former SGA president Nathan Nash. He approached Mary Saathoff, senior director of corporations, foundations and scholarships for Institutional Advancement, who has been instrumental in developing the campaign.
“This is a project that is very much student driven,” Saathoff says. “It is students giving back to students.”
