TAB COMMITTEES
OUR MISSION
The Tech Activities Board (TAB) is a group of student leaders dedicated to programming social, diverse, traditional, community outreach, and educational events to enhance each student’s individual experience at Texas Tech University.
OUR HISTORY
The Tech Activities Board is the largest student programming board on campus and is responsible for planning quality events for the university community. TAB was founded in 1953 as the University Center Programming Board (UCP) and reinvented in 2006, as TAB, to better serve and identify with the student population. Today, TAB plays a vital role in fostering and developing Red Raider spirit and traditions such as Homecoming, RaiderGate, Arbor Day, and in creating community on the Texas Tech campus.
With TAB, you can choose to get involved in a number of different programs. TAB is made up of seven different programming committees that work together to put on events. Members choose one committee to join each year, but also get to work events from other committees for a well-rounded experience.
Concerts Daytime Films Homecoming Night Life Outreach Special Programs
JOIN THE FUN!
If you are interested in joining the Tech Activities Board (TAB), let us know! We are always looking for outstanding committee members to help plan and execute events on campus. TAB holds a recruitment social each fall & spring. Anyone who is interested in joining TAB and would like more information should call 806-742-4708 and ask to speak to TAB’s President or an advisor or email tab@ttu.edu.
