wellness kits provided for students
were assembled and distributed by the
operations division
Texas Tech University, like many universities across
the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided
personal protection equipment (PPE) kits for the
incoming students for the Fall 2020 semester. These
10,000 Student Wellness Kits provided many of the
CDC suggested tools for combating the spread of
the COVID-19 virus. Each kit contained a facemask,
hand sanitizer, alcohol wipes, and a no-touch tool. In
addition, each kit also provided a card with a message
in conjunction with the Texas Tech Commitment
campaign reminding students of the importance of
their actions in keeping themselves and others safe in
their new campus environment. The items in the kits
were branded for TTU or the Texas Tech Commitment
initiative to create a sense of belonging for students new
to the Texas Tech University campus.
The bags and the individual items they contained
were purchased in partnership between the
Procurement Services Department of the University
and the Operations Division Logistics team. The kits
were assembled by Traffic and Parking Department
employees and distributed as new student IDs were
issued by the ID office. This team effort provided
Student Wellness Kits that were well received by the
incoming students.
COVID-19 Signage
on Campus
The Operations Division organized 27 in-person and 5 virtual
walkthroughs with building coordinators across campus to provide
workplace and classroom COVID-19 signage to support the efforts
of the Texas Tech Commitment. With these efforts, 3,500 signs are
on display throughout 84 buildings on campus. This was completed
after more than 750 hours with two teams of 4 to 5 people, who
in one day walked over 16,000 steps per person. To put that into
perspective that is 160,000 total steps between two teams of five
which is almost 76 miles!
