Yulia Makarova<br />
Master’s in Fine Arts,<br />
Russia At Texas Tech, the<br />
small size of the degree<br />
program, access to faculty<br />
who are the leaders in<br />
their fields and a diverse<br />
student body will help me<br />
sharpen my skills as an<br />
artist and provide me with<br />
a professional network after graduation. The studio work<br />
has been intellectually challenging.<br />
Kelvin Lee<br />
Bachelor’s in<br />
Environmental<br />
Engineering, Hong Kong<br />
My life at Texas Tech is<br />
probably the best time of<br />
my life. I came here all by<br />
myself, but I was able to<br />
make so many friends.<br />
They are interested<br />
in where I am from and we always share our cultural<br />
experiences.<br />
There is a strong sense of community here, and I find the<br />
academic environment very supportive. Some<br />
of my peers have become good friends. It’s the people<br />
I’ve met here who will stand out in my memories of<br />
Texas Tech.<br />
Environmental Engineering is tough, but you are not<br />
alone. Texas Tech has a very strong atmosphere that all<br />
peers are striving <strong>for</strong> honor and will help each other out.<br />
dream no little dreams<br />

Jovita Lektzian<br />
Bachelor’s in Apparel<br />
Design, Lithuania The<br />
professionalism and<br />
friendliness of all of my<br />
professors are at the<br />
highest level. I really love<br />
being part of the Red<br />
Raider family and feel<br />
like my professors are<br />
committed to helping me learn and succeed. They are<br />
so knowledgeable and caring that they have made my<br />
learning experience joyful and educational.<br />
Having the opportunity to work closely with my professors<br />
as a student assistant and going to conferences is<br />
something I will always remember.<br />
Afzal Ahrorov<br />
Bachelor’s in Cell &<br />
Molecular Biology,<br />
Tajikistan My goal is to<br />
become an expert in<br />
cellular and molecular<br />
biology to solve mysteries<br />
in the treatment of cancer,<br />
diabetes, Alzheimer’s and<br />
Parkinson’s diseases. I<br />
think my goal is not only achievable, but as we say at<br />
Texas Tech University, FROM HERE IT’S POSSIBLE.<br />
It’s easier because of the close-knit relationships with<br />
the most erudite professors who care about students.<br />
They are also adept researchers who give international<br />
students opportunities to be involved in world-class<br />
research.
