The Faculty Research Club meets monthly on the last Thursday of each month and is intended to provide a social setting to stimulate interdisciplinary research collaborations, promote informal discussions about research and disseminate information about campus resources to faculty. To stimulate conversation, several faculty members will give a short summary of their research and opportunities for collaboration which is followed by an opportunity for all to engage in informal discussion while enjoying snacks and a free glass of wine . Each club meeting is open to all faculty at Texas Tech and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Faculty members are welcome to invite post-doctoral scholars to help them develop research networks.
The
