Dr. Lawrence Shovanec Announced as the Sole Finalist for President of Texas Tech University

Dr. Lawrence Shovanec will become the 17th President of Texas Tech University.
This morning the Board of Regents of the Texas Tech University System voted to select the sole finalist to be the new university president. After deliberation the board announced Dr. Lawrence Schovanec, the university’s current provost and senior vice president, to be the next president of Texas Tech University.
 
Dr. Schovanec has served Texas Tech University for more than three decades and has a proven record of success and achievement in higher education. However, it is Dr. Schovanec’s vision for the university’s future that set him apart as the most qualified and best candidate for the position. 
 
 
Now that Dr. Schovanec has been named the sole finalist for the president position, state law requires that 21 days must pass before final action can be taken by the Board of Regents on his formal appointment. After that time, Dr. Schovanec will be introduced as the 17th president of Texas Tech University.
