Chancellor Brandon Creighton

I am honored the @TTUSystem Regents have expressed confidence in me and I’m excited about the future of the Texas Tech University System. Texas Tech is the tip of the spear for the future of higher education—leading in academics, athletics, and innovation. The world will continue to see the groundbreaking solutions and unmatched potential coming from this system. Over the past six years, no university system in Texas has taken more bold steps forward. Serving as Chairman of the Senate Education Committee and the Budget Subcommittee has been the honor of a lifetime—especially to help deliver that success for Texas Tech and its regional universities. I feel very blessed to have been considered for the role of Chancellor. There is no greater purpose I would consider than working to make generational changes that transform the lives of young Texans for decades to come. Chancellor Tedd Mitchell has been an outstanding leader for the system for many years and I look forward to carrying his legacy forward. @TexasTech @AngeloState @MSUTexas @TTUHSC @TTHealthElPaso

Thank you @TeamBettencourt and the members of the Senate Committee on Higher Education for the invitation to be here today.

As Chancellor, I have the responsibility of putting those principles into practice across the @TTUSystem. I am pleased to report that each of our institutions has met every requirement—on time or ahead of schedule—and established what we believe is a best-in-class model for implementing these reforms.

Texas families make an extraordinary investment in higher education. From freshman orientation to graduation, they deserve an education that delivers on its promise: rigorous, relevant coursework, preparation for a rapidly changing economy, and ultimately a return on that investment– a degree of value.

The goal of Texas Tech University System is not to compete, it is to be #1. kcbd.com/2026/07/24/tex…

@TTUSystem will partner with best-in-class companies across key sectors of the economy to ensure our students are prepared to meet the demands of today's private sector. The companies shaping tomorrow's economy are looking for university partners willing to lead. That's exactly what this partnership represents. As a leader in AI and digital assets, Galaxy didn't just invest in a stadium—it invested in the vision, talent, and innovation taking shape across the Texas Tech University System. As we continue building one of the nation's most advanced university AI ecosystems, we're showing the world that Texas Tech offers unmatched opportunities for learning, research, and innovation. And the world's most successful companies recognize that there are no ceilings for Red Raider graduates. Texas Tech is open for business—and we're just getting started. #wreckem

Congratulations to @TexasTech on being recognized among the top 2.4% of higher education institutions worldwide, earning a place on The Center for World University Rankings' 2026 Global 2,000 List. This distinction reflects the dedication of Texas Tech’s students, faculty, staff and alumni who continue to elevate the university’s impact. “As Texas Tech continues its trajectory as a leading public research university, we remain focused on creating opportunities, advancing knowledge and delivering value for the state of Texas and beyond.” – Dr. Lawrence Schovanec, Texas Tech University president Congratulations to the entire Red Raider community on this outstanding achievement. ttu.edu/now/posts/2026…

One of the top 100 most influential figures in sports!

Texas led the nation on higher education reform because students deserve degrees of value, taxpayers deserve accountability, and faculty deserve clear expectations. As the author of SB 37 and now Chancellor of Texas Tech University System, I see first hand that academic integrity, strong governance, and rigor go hand in hand. Our world-class faculty and students demonstrate that accountability is critical for excellence—not counter to it. It is great to see other states following Texas' lead. @TTUSystem #txlege #txed insidehighered.com/news/governanc…

Congratulations to Angelo State University on another remarkable achievement in aviation education. This accomplishment reflects the dedication of ASU's faculty, staff and students and reinforces the university's commitment to providing innovative, workforce-focused programs that prepare graduates for high-demand careers. We are proud to celebrate this milestone and the university's continued leadership in advancing excellence across the Texas Tech University System.

Anything is possible against Texas with this guy in the house! 🦀🌳 #WCWS | @RedRaiderNation
