Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

I look back on my education at Lamar and realize I learned much, and attribute my success to the experience and learning I gained during those years. I paid my way through college by co-oping, and established the industry contacts that allowed me to get an excellent job in a very lean job market. I graduated with no debt, a great job, and a terrific beautiful wife. The professors all taught their own classes, and cared enough to assure we learned what we needed to.Lamar has a pretty good reputation along the Gulf Coast due to their heavy involvement in the chemical industry and jobs training programs. The marching band back in the 70's was fantastic due to Jimmy Simmon's leadership. I'm hoping they get it going again. The music program is very good.
