This week, as Opportunity Days brings students, alumni, and employers together and we celebrate 40 years of the School of Financial Planning, we're taking a moment to recognize someone who helped build so much of what this program has become: Dr. Dottie Durband.

In 2001, Durband co-founded Red to Black, one of the first peer-to-peer financial counseling programs in the country—a model that's since inspired similar programs nationwide.

Her influence runs even deeper: she built a curriculum on empathy, communication, and technical skill that has shaped a generation of financial planners.

As the School of Financial Planning - Texas Tech University heads into Opportunity Days this week, we're taking a moment to look back at how last spring's Career Days in DFW changed the game for their students.

What started as a bold move out of Lubbock turned into 100+ interviews, firsthand tours at firms, and internships that led to job offers.

The results spoke for themselves—Spring Career Days 2027 is already confirmed to return to DFW using the same immersive format.

The move opens the door to bigger research projects, expanded internships, and a more industry-ready degree for students.

Interior design student Natalie Roman took on a challenge most would shy away from: creating a luxe boutique hotel inspired by the elegance of Reims, France. Drawing inspiration from a harp's intricate curves, she wove Gothic and Art Deco influences through marble, rich woods, and aluminum finishes—all while mastering the technical realities of space planning, ADA compliance, and building codes.

"I was drawn to France because I wanted to challenge myself with designing a space that felt ornate yet timeless," Roman said.

Behind every crayon scribble and new word learned at the Center for Early Head Start is a bigger mission: strengthening families and building a healthier Lubbock community, one child at a time.

This year, the center passed two major external reviews from the Texas Department of Agriculture and the federal Office of Head Start with zero deficiencies, all while continuing to serve families through home visits, parenting classes, and individualized care.

Read the full story and watch how the Center for Early Head Start is shaping the next generation, one family at a time—both linked in our comments.

From Plovdiv to Lubbock: Fulbright scholar Georgi Toskov spent the spring semester at Texas Tech studying how wine labels tell stories of heritage and tradition — and learning how to turn university research into real products people can buy.

Toskov, an associate professor at the University of Food Technologies in Bulgaria, worked with the Texas Wine Marketing Research Institute's Natalia Velikova, continuing a research partnership that began when she was a Fulbright U.S. Scholar at his home institution.

While here, he also studied Texas Tech's entrepreneurial ecosystem, including Red Raider Meats and the Innovation Hub, to help commercialize his university's own food and beverage products back home.

Read more about his visit and what he brought back to Bulgaria in the story linked in our comments.
