Well, after a few months of sunny days and nearly catatonic traffic levels at campus hotspots, the Texas Tech is bustling again. The fall semester has started. This is a development I welcome with mixed emotions. While it's nice seeing the pulse quicken around here, I tend to get spoiled by roadways free of blindered students and lines no more than three people deep at the Student Union. Oh well, here we go.
This year we welcome our largest and most diverse freshman class in history. We have abour 5,045 new students on campus -- 12 percent larger than last year -- and increased our minority student numbers, which is always a good thing. We increased black enrollment by 4 percent, and saw 17 percent more Hispanics enroll.
And the gains didn't cut academic quality -- these students actually boast higher average SAT scores.
So, on that note, welcome back.
