We’ll have the latest details on the spread of the disease and the epicenter of the contagion that’s located just over an hour away from the Texas Tech campus. Also, a financial gift from some Red Raider alumni is reviving a field of study that has been absent from the campus catalogue for 35 years. Find out what degree will soon be an option for students in the Whitacre College of Engineering. Potential Social Security fraud, the Texas border wall, and the safety of air travel in the United States have all been hot topics in the national news this week.
