2023 ushers a new decade and renewed commitment to improving lives in our Borderplex

A 10-year anniversary is the perfect time to celebrate past accomplishments as well as new beginnings.

In 2023, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso will mark its 10th year as an autonomous university within the Texas Tech University System. Throughout 2023, we’ll celebrate this remarkable milestone; and of course, we’ll share the celebration with the El Paso community that supported the vision of a health sciences center for our Borderplex region.

We’re proud of the positive impact we’re making on El Paso, the U.S.-Mexico border region, and across the country and globe. And speaking of new beginnings, I welcome you to Here and Now, our newly rebranded university magazine.

In these pages, I invite you to learn how TTUHSC El Paso has worked over the past 10 years to fulfill its mission of improving the lives of people in our culturally diverse community through excellence in education, research and world-class patient care.

To our students, faculty, staff, alumni—and our community supporters—I send a big “Thank you!” for our 10 years of success!
