OUR MISSIONThe Tech Activities Board (TAB) is a group of student leaders dedicated to programming social, diverse, traditional, community outreach, and educational events to enhance each student’s individual experience at Texas Tech University.

OUR HISTORYThe Tech Activities Board is the largest student programming board on campus and is responsible for planning quality events for the university community. TAB was founded in 1953 as the University Center Programming Board (UCP) and reinvented in 2006, as TAB, to better serve and identify with the student population. Today, TAB plays a vital role in fostering and developing Red Raider spirit and traditions such as Homecoming, RaiderGate, Arbor Day, and in creating community on the Texas Tech campus.

TAB COMMITTEES With TAB, you can choose to get involved in a number of different programs. TAB is made up of seven different programming committees that work together to put on events. Members choose one committee to join each year, but also get to work events from other committees for a well-rounded experience.
