Tech Times 
Tech Times consists of two daily electronic newsletters: A version for faculty/staff and a version for students. Tech Times contains news, announcements and other items of campuswide interest.
This newsletter is user-fueled. Faculty, staff and students of TTU are invited to submit content according to the guidelines below. The Office of Public Affairs will edit for spelling, grammar and timeliness.
Deadlines
Tech Times is distributed automatically at 8:30 a.m. on weekdays as announcements warrant. If there are no announcements on a particular day, no newsletter is distributed that day. Here are the deadlines for submitting content:
- 3 p.m. central time for distribution on the next weekday, except for Monday’s edition.
- Noon Friday for Monday’s edition.
Tech Times is not sent out during university holidays unless special circumstances permit.
