From the Nominator

"Evermore shares the stories of Texas Tech’s best and brightest, from the pioneers with a bold vision who laid the foundation 100 years ago to those who now propel our national research institution into the future. It honors the alumni who have faithfully supported the university throughout its growth, as well as the faculty and researchers conducting world-altering work and the students who will carry on the legacy. We endeavor to reinforce that quintessential Texas Tech ideal: From Here, It’s Possible. 

Issue 2 focused on a wide variety of stories that would be of interest to our readers, from the inspirational dreams of one student and the steps he’s taking to fulfill them, to the humorously tall tales of a group of larger-than-life alumni, to the emotional family history of an architecture professor whose blind sister changed his trajectory forever. 

Our first issue in 2021 was met with rave reviews, but it’s really been through Issues 2 and 3, both during 2022, that we’ve seen the most impressive results. Engagement has increased, especially among a group of alumni who had become nearly untethered to Texas Tech, and we’ve inspired usually reticent members of our community to share their stories. Our alumni have embraced Evermore, voiced their enjoyment of it, and subscribed by the hundreds for future issues."
