TAB was founded in the early 1950’s as the University Center Programming Board and reinvented in 2006, as TAB, to better serve and identify with the student population. Today, TAB plays a vital role in fostering and developing Red Raider spirit and traditions such as Homecoming, RaiderGate, Arbor Day, and Rock the Plaza and in creating community on the Texas Tech University campus. Our Values • the image of TAB and producing quality events • the talents and gifts of our committee members • the ability to develop leaders and enhance individual skills • the diversity and ideas of all members of the campus community

Tech Activities Board (TAB)Gender What is your gender? In the 2009-2010 school year, 1124 participants were surveyed at the completion of a TAB event they attend, 478 were male and 593 were female. This equates to 42% male and roughly 53% female. This past semester, the Tech Activities Board drew in a larger female population than a male population. Approximately 5% of students surveyed last year indicated either “other” or did not respond to the question.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Ethnicity What is your ethnicity? The TAB evaluation specifically asks what race participants are to determine if we are appealing to our underrepresented populations. Approximately 20% of the students that attended our events were Hispanic/Latino, 10% were Asian-American and 6% of the surveyed attendees identified as African-American. Last year, about 13% of individuals in attendance at our events were Hispanic, while our African-American and Asian-American populations were 7% respectively.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Ethnicity The data for diversity statistics for Tech students in the year 2008 came from the online Texas Tech University Fact Book. Converting these numbers into percentages and comparing them to our own statistics and percentages yielded positive results. The statistical comparisons in percentages show how close TAB and Tech are in their attractiveness to underrepresented populations through programming. Proportionately, TAB attracts a larger percentage of underrepresented populations at their events than Texas Tech has as part of their overall population. Last year, the Tech Activities Board also attracted a higher percentage of underrepresented students than the university population reflected.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Classification What is your classification? The Tech Activities Board was pleased to see a wide array of individuals attend their events this year. Between the results from last year and this year, there was a decrease in the percentage of individuals that were Sophomore (-1%), Graduate Students (-4%), Faculty (-1%), Staff (-1%) and Community Members (-4%). There was an increase in attendance in with the following populations: Freshmen (+8%), Juniors (+1%), and Seniors (+1%). Undergraduates only
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Transfer Students Are you a transfer student? The transfer population is a group of students TAB is wanting to appeal to more so than years previous. This years is the first year TAB is looking to track the number of transfer students that attend TAB programs. Of the individuals who evaluated this years TAB events 14% indicated that they were a transfer student. Fall 2009 2,400 transfer students
Tech Activities Board (TAB)International Students Are you an international student? As international students continue to have a strong presence at Texas Tech University, the Tech Activities Board this year, began to assess the number of international students who attend their events. In the 2009-2010 school year, 6% of students evaluated indicated they were international students.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Alternative Did you attend this program as an alternative to doing something else? There was a significant change between last year’s results and this year’s results with individuals that attended TAB events were surveyed. Last year 36% attended a TAB event as an alternative to doing something else. This year that number increased to 48%.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Education Did you learn something new from this program? This year yielded a significantly lower percentage of responses that indicate that individuals learned something new by attending a TAB event. Last year, approximately 43% of the participants surveyed indicated that they learned something new, while 23% of the participants this year made that claim.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Class Credit Are you receiving credit for a class? The Tech Activities Board often writes letters to departments and instructors of courses that they think could use an event or program as an opportunity to education their students. This year, 1% of the student population claimed that they received class credit for the events that they attended. As we continue, TAB will look to different ways to incorporate academics into the programmatic aspects of the events, for example co-sponsorships with academic departments.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Community Did you come to this event with someone? We can see that a majority of participants attended our events with someone. This is to be expected of the college social scene. The results reported last year and this year both reveal that over three quarters of individuals who attended the events came with another person. Last year, 86% reported that they attended with another person and this year 76% made that claim.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Community Did the program provide you with a sense of community? One of the goals of the Tech Activities Board is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the student of Texas Tech University. Over three quarters of the students and staff that participated in the event evaluation process felt as though the Tech Activities Board accomplished this goal.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Student Organization Link Did you come as part of a student organization function? The Tech Activities Board makes efforts to create events that student organizations and departments on campus value and have a vested interest in. Many of these relationships often involve co-sponsoring events with organizations, but many student organizations attend the events as a group. Last year, 9% of individuals surveyed reported that they attended the event and part of a student organization function. This year, that percentage remained the same at 9%.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Marketing How did you find out about this event? Last year, TechAnnounce was by far our best publicity for events, but this year word of mouth seems to have been the most effective form of publicity, followed by TechAnnounce, posters, the TAB Calendar, and Facebook. Last year, the use of Facebook increased drastically and continued that growth this year. TAB is looking to utilize other social networking tools such as Twitter to market events in the future. Also, individuals who reported “other” have shown a dramatic increase in the few years. This may be related to expectation that TAB utilized unconventional forms of marketing to promote their events throughout campus.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Publicity Publicity Last year, 37% of the individuals surveyed indicated that the marketing for TAB events was excellent. This year that number has stayed about the same at 35%. Another interesting note is that less than 10% of those surveyed indicated that they thought the marketing was below average.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Venue Venue The venues, although varied, seemed to greatly please the majority of students. Places that were generally utilized to hold events, included the Allen Theatre, Matador Room, and SUB West Basement. While most of our events take place in the Student Union, TAB considers itself the programming board for the entire campus and will look to utilize other venues throughout campus as well as a few locations off campus. Last year, 59% of the sample indicated that the venue was excellent and this year the percentage is around 55%. It is good to know that 2% of the sample indicated that the venue used was below average or poor.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Time Time Time varies greatly for TAB events. We offer several smaller events during the daytime, many of our larger events after 6:00 P.M., and our movie times are shown twice, once in the evening and once in the afternoon, to appeal to as many students as possible. Overall, it would seem that our wide array of times pleases the students. Last year, 57% of the sample indicated that the time selected for the event was excellent and this year the number has almost stayed the same at 56%. It is good to know that 2% of the sample indicated that the time of the events were below average or poor.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Date Date TAB takes into consideration midterms, finals, home athletic games and tries to offer our events at times when students have no other commitments. Last year, 57% of the sample indicated that the date selected for the event was excellent and this year the percentage was 54%. This year, TAB faced a number of challenges in having to reschedule events due to weather and other related complications. It is good to know that 2% of the sample indicated that the dates chosen were below average or poor. Of course, the people surveyed were able to attend the event so they more than likely were pleased with the day of the event.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Quality Quality TAB strives to maintain a high quality of events for students. Last year, 63% of the sample indicated that the time selected for the event was excellent and this year the number has grown to 57%. It is good to know that 5% of the sample indicated that the quality of the program was below average or poor.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Overall Satisfaction Overall This is potentially the most important statistic of the entire evaluation. Many things may make a student disgruntled: venue, date of event, subject matter; however it is the overall feeling after the event that is most important. We want students to leave with a smile on their face thinking, “That was awesome! I love being a Tech student and I love TAB.” Last year, 62% of the sample indicated that the time selected for the event was excellent and this year the number was 54%.
Tech Activities Board (TAB)Future Programming What events would you like to see in the future? The most requested events were Movies (New Releases) and Comedians, following closely behind were Concerts. In general, these would be the most entertaining events and as such seemed to be the most popular. Independent Movies and Game Shows were the next two highest scoring categories. Last year, the most requested type of event Concerts followed closely by Comedians.

Tech Activities Board“Paying Your TAB” Rewards Program “Paying your TAB” is a rewards program for students that frequent Tech Activities Board events. Students complete a registration form and are then given a “Paying your TAB” punch card. For every event a student attends in the fall or spring, they receive a punch. Once the student has attended ten (10) events and receives ten (10) punches, they can then turn their card in to be entered in to win prizes. Participation in the “Paying your TAB” program gives the student the opportunity to be on a bi-monthly email newsletter that informs students about upcoming TAB events. In the 2009-2010 school year, 774 students participated in the Paying Your Tab Rewards program, a 15% decrease from the 2008-2009 school year.
Student OrganizationsMission and Values Getting Involved As a part of the Texas Tech University community, students have the opportunity to join registered student organizations including service, academic, professional, and religious groups to name a few. Student organizations impact who students meet at college, the skills they learn, the confidence they build, and the leadership positions they take on. Most successful students join student organizations in their freshman year where they make friends and start to develop support networks. Many organizations provide students with the opportunity to meet and interact with people in the professional career areas they intend to pursue, as well as make life long friends. Being in a student group is a critical part of the college experience and helps determine success in higher education. Involvement Is Easy Joining a student organization is the greatest way to get involved on campus and also one of the easiest. There are approximately 450 organizations currently registered at Texas Tech University with over 20,000 members participating in these groups – this is a quick way to get connected on campus. Since there are thirteen categories of student organizations linked to every aspect of campus life, it is very difficult not to be involved.
