"The college extends heartfelt congratulations to Assistant Professor Mahyar Hadighi and Assistant Professor Victoria McReynolds on being granted tenure, as well as their upcoming promotions to Associate Professors, effective September 1st, 2025. Earlier this month, Texas Tech University’s Board of Regents formally granted tenure and promotion to both Mahyar and Victoria, a recognition that honors their outstanding achievements as scholars and educators. Being granted tenure is one of the most important decisions a university makes, and places those who attain it in a position of exceptional responsibility. Tenure appointments for Mahyar and Victoria go into effect immediately, and their promotions will be effective September 1st, 2025. Again, congratulations to both of you on this important career milestone."

James Watkins, Paul Whitfield Horn Professor Emeritus, was recently featured in an interview by the Texas Tech University System Public Art Collection. The interview focused on two of Watkins' pieces, Echo and Playas, which were inspired by the textured irrigation circles and reflective playa lakes visible from an aerial view of the West Texas landscape. Both works are part of the collection and can be viewed on the second floor of the F. Marie Hall Synergistic Center at the Lubbock campus of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
