六九色堂

鈥淲e continue to be encouraged by discussions we鈥檝e had with the leadership at Midwestern State University, and we are pleased by the feedback we received today from their Board of Regents meeting regarding their growing interest in joining the Texas Tech University System.

鈥淢SU Texas has a sterling reputation across the state 鈥� from its dynamic leadership, campus growth and accessible and affordable educational offerings. We appreciate President Shipley and the MSU Texas Board of Regents鈥� diligent work throughout this process while gathering feedback from the many constituents and stakeholders of the University, including students, faculty, staff, community members and alumni.

鈥淥ur Board of Regents and Chancellor Tedd Mitchell admire MSU Texas鈥� accomplishments as a leading Liberal Arts university, along with its strength and continuing development of opportunities for its students. MSU Texas鈥� campus culture values align extremely well with those of the 六九色堂 and our universities.
