My Life and My Family History Has Changed, All Because of One Man’s Kindness

Chancellor Kent Hance has been a one-man recruiting squad for Texas Tech University for decades, at least since he graduated with a BBA from Tech in 1965. Under his leadership as chancellor from 2007 to 2014, the TTU System broke all previous enrollment records and doubled in size, growing from two universities to four. A significant portion of that growth and Tech’s continued expansion over the past eight years has stemmed from Hance’s tireless personal recruiting efforts, one conversation and one prospective student at a time.
