Texas Tech is making a big impact in El Paso this summer, with two uplifting milestones that highlight the institution’s commitment to both the community and the future of local healthcare.
Texas Tech El Paso is hosting a back-to-school fair offering free backpacks and health checks to help area families get ready for the upcoming school year. The event is a welcome boost for El Paso students and parents, providing essential supplies and wellness screenings at no cost — a meaningful gesture as the new academic year approaches.
In a separate celebration, Texas Tech Health is marking a historic moment: the first graduates from its forensic psychiatry program. The milestone represents a significant step forward for specialized mental health care in the region, as newly trained forensic psychiatry professionals prepare to serve El Paso and the surrounding communities.
Together, these two events reflect Texas Tech’s growing role as a cornerstone of health, education, and community support in the Sun City — from helping kids head back to school ready to learn, to training the next generation of specialized medical professionals right here in West Texas.
