In August 2025 Christie Loveless did something that was 40 years in the making. After leaving college in the mid-80s following a tragedy, she walked the stage as a Texas Tech University graduate in the same weekend as her son, Kolby.

Texas Tech’s $10K Degree Completion Program allowed her to recognize that dream with an affordable, accelerated and flexible bachelor’s degree program. Now, she is a walking ambassador of Texas Tech Online.
