Dear Presidential Lecture & Performance Series Patron,

Thank you for your interest in our programming as you venture to this page.

I am thrilled to present to you an exciting lineup of events that is leading us to an intriguing & transformative 2023/24 season. Whether you are a brand new or returning patron: welcome to our small, but impactful program, which aims to enhance the intellectual and cultural landscape of Texas Tech University and the South Plains. I look forward to seeing you at our events, which we've referred to as President Schovanec's gift to the community for many seasons. I hope you know that your continued support is what makes this program possible, as no performing arts series could exist without its audience's interest.

Let's continue celebrating the Texas Tech University Centennial this fall semester, then close our 17th annual season in the spring of 2024 together.

Thank you for joining us. Welcome,

Dóri Bosnyák
Lead Administrator, Presidential Lecture & Performance Series
