The only thing more powerful than knowledge itself is
the ability to cultivate it. To share it, grow it, and turn
it into a force for good. And today, our institution has
grown to offer more than 150 academic programs in ten
colleges, helping our students develop skills through
undergraduate research, nd challenge as part of our
Honors College (honors.ttu.edu), discover the world by
studying abroad, and make a difference for communities
of all kinds through service learning.

Like knowledge, the Red Raider spirit develops over
time. Your rst experience at a football or basketball
game will make you realize why we chant “Raider
Power,” and why we all believe so much in it. After
wins and at graduations, the 1,200-pound Victory
Bells ring, becoming a reminder that our progress
can never be halted. And no matter the journey you
take or the friends you make, you will be united with
millions under the bold, beautiful, and powerful
scarlet and black Double T.
