Texas Tech K-12 hosted a dozen education administrators who may become new international partners.

In mid-September, the Texas Tech University campus in Lubbock hosted school administrators from Brazil researching the benefits of becoming international partners with Texas Tech K-12. The week’s events could potentially yield seven new partners.

The delegation spent four days touring campus, meeting with university and K-12 representatives, viewing presentations from various departments and colleges, including dance and arts at International Affairs, and enjoying West Texas cuisine, shopping and taking in the Texas Tech vs. Houston football game.

Cari Moye is principal of Recruitment, Investment, Strategic Partnerships & Pathways and Engagement for Texas Tech K-12. Having served various leadership roles within the school since 2012, Moye has seen international partnerships grow and deepen over time. Brazil was the first country to collaborate with the school. 

She said the staff made sure that, throughout their visit, the Brazilian delegation didn’t just feel like guests but part of the Texas Tech family.

“Our Brazilian partners were truly blown away by Texas Tech and the warmth of our campus community,” Moye said. “It was an incredible opportunity to strengthen the relationships we’ve built and look ahead to what’s next. We’re excited to continue expanding our partnerships, welcome additional schools into the Texas Tech K-12 family and begin creating new opportunities for their students. We are honored to be part of their students’ educational journey.”
