18K? Where did you hear that? From everything I've seen and heard from Guice, he's been consistent with the 15K figure.Originally Posted by DogsWin
I have only read 15K as well, but assumed the below was correct considering the source. Either way the Tech administration is not just giving lip service (like in the past). They are putting in the infrastructure to make it happen.
BleedTechBlue.com@BleedTechBlue 1h #LATech has a full-time student recruiter in #DFW, wow! Go follow @LATechDFW. @lkguice doing what it takes to get enrollment at Tech to 18k.
Ruston, LA
I was thinking we hope to get to 15 - 18k in 5 years and around 20k within 10.
I'm pretty sure he stretched it there. The mail I got from Dr. Guice a couple days ago said 15K by 2020. At the ULS meeting on Friday, Napper also presented 15K by 2020 as the goal. I don't think there's any way we could even have the infrastructure for 18K that quickly, much less find almost 7K additional students in 6 years.
Daniel is a fine young man who, along with his family, loves Louisiana Tech dearly. If you have ANY connections with high school adminsitration in the DFW or I-20 corridor east, please contact Daniel.
12 LaTech student recruits from the Metroplex attended the game last night. They all pulled for Tech and several of them now want to come to Tech. BTW, Dr. Guice was there to welcome the attendees. He gets it!
Yeah, I was sitting eating my BBQ and this guy comes sits down next to me with his plate. I say "I'm so and so, and you're Les Guice". Chatted all through dinner. Just my brother, myself, one other alum and Les - not a big crowded table. He really does get it.
Yes he does. He came to an E.Texas Tech event in Longview almost a year ago. He recognized the 4-8 Tech student recruits before his talk and introduced them during the speech. He then sat at the table with Tech recruits and their families for the meal. Likewise he visited with the them extensively throughout the evening. He does get it!
Les doesn't "get it" -- that is the way he is. He is not acting or playing a role; there is not a fake bone in his body. That is the way he is and the way I remember him while in school. I was at the BBQ and was sitting at a table with a father and his high school senior daughter, Les sat down and started talking to them and the daughter asked Les what his role was at Tech, Les responded that he was the President; the look on her face was priceless. That's one prospective freshman that just made her college decision.
We all can play a role in supporting our school's efforts in growing the student population and we can begin next Saturday when hundreds of prospective students and their parents are on campus for Time Out For Tech and will be attending the game. Identify them, greet them and encourge them and thank them.
I agree. That was the first time I met him. I was surprised when he just sat down and ate his dinner with only a couple of people. He obviously wasn't just "glad handing".
