Faculty Honored at State of the University & Faculty Award Convocation

During a virtual presentation of the State of the University & Faculty Award Convocation, Lori Rice-Spearman, Ph.D., president of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC), reflected on an unprecedented year in TTUHSC's history.
