Out for a Tech Family stroll

On Saturday, Louisiana Tech University President Les Guice (middle with Tech shirt) launched the Tech Walking Family. Faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the university gathered at 7:15 a.m. at the driveway of the president’s residence to engage in a walk through the Tech campus and athletic complex. Presented in partnership with the Department of Kinesiology, the walk featured three different routes — one, two, and three miles — with kinesiology students providing pacing, support and encouragement along the way.

Members of the Tech Band of Pride are seen setting the mood for the Louisiana Tech Walking Family, which was launched Saturday before Tech’s home game with Southeastern Louisiana. Athletics Director Eric Wood and Champ celebrate the group as it passes by Joe Aillet Stadium.
