Terry Tailgate: First EXPERIENCES 

9/23/2013

0 Comments

 

by Alex Fletcher 

This year has been a lot of firsts for me, including my first ever tailgate. I went to the Terry Family tailgate with my mom and dad and we had a blast. It was nice to introduce my family to all of the remarkable Terry’s I’ve become close to. The food was awesome and it was nice to have a chance to relax and play around. I enjoyed the great conversations, meeting everybody’s families, and getting to play football and frisbee.  I’m truly looking forward to next year’s tail gate.

I have never been to a real Texas Tailgate before, so the Tech Terry Tailgate was my first one! It was such a great experience! The food was terrific and I had so much fun meeting everyone's family! My mom, dad, sister, and close friend who attends Texas State came to the tailgate with me and enjoyed themselves too! I felt like a true Texan tailgating with my Terry Family before heading out to The Jones and beating Texas State!

Dear TTU Terry Scholar:

Our annual fall banquet is set for Friday, October 18, 2013, on campus in the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center (located at 17th & University Avenue,  Lubbock, TX 79409-5001). The Terry Foundation Directors, Advisory Board Members, and invited guests will attend the reception and dinner. Attendance is mandatory for all Scholars.

A commercial photographer will be present beginning at 5:00 p.m. to take individual pictures for the 2013-14 annual. The photography will continue during the reception with dinner to follow. This will be your only opportunity to be photographed for the annual, so please dress appropriately (business professional).

Scholars are required to stay until the conclusion of the event at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Please note: laptops, iPads, or other similar devices are not allowed at Foundation events. Similarly, do not text or use PDA's during the event program. Please limit any non-emergent texting or phone use at any time during the event in order to concentrate on the program content and your opportunity to network with other Scholars.

Do not reply to this email. If you have a conflict, a class, or other questions, it is imperative that you contact Beth Freeman well in advance of the event at beth.freeman@terryfoundation.org.

You may also let Ms. Freeman know if you prefer a vegetarian plate.

We look forward to seeing and visiting with each of you.

Sincerely,

Yvonne R. Moody, Executive Director
The Terry Foundation

What does the Terry Scholarship Mean to you

9/9/2013

1 Comment

 
On this week's blog, we begin exploring the question: "What exactly does the Terry Scholarship mean to you?" Terry's come from all over the great state of Texas. With so many unique backgrounds, our scholarships were attained in a large variety of ways. However, we all share one very great characteristic: gratitude. That brings us to this weeks Terry, Jack Clark, who explains his Terry scholarship as a way to break from the norms of his small hometown in order to achieve something great.

My college experience is one that I think is very unique. I come from a small town of about 400 people everybody knows everybody who lives there. I come from a high school where the only thing that separates the high school from the elementary is a single hallway. I was in a graduating class of 13, so we were our own little family. Literally the whole town showed up to all the home basketball games, because we weren’t large enough to have football. Most of the students that graduate from Hartley generally go to work on a family farm or end up going to a small university. Needless to say, when I received the Terry Scholarship that gave me the opportunity to attend Texas Tech University, I thought it was going to be a big jump, because I was the first person in years to go to a University with a student population larger than 10,000 people. However, I soon realized that this was not near the transition I thought it would be. Right from the start, I began building friendships with fellow Terry Scholars, going to all of the Welcome Week events, football games, and just goofing around in the dorm. I found that the other Scholars share the same moral beliefs and educational goals as I do. We are more than just recipients of the same scholarship; we share something together that will last much longer than our time spent at Texas Tech University. Thanks to this great opportunity that the Terry Foundation has given all of us, we are able to pursue our educational goals, while making friendships that will last us the rest of our lives.
