Lamar State College Port Arthur improved the financial outlook for 180 Fall 2020 students who completed their two-year associate degrees and/or shorter certificate degrees at the end of 2020.

Because of COVID-19 regulations, the commencement ceremony was held online, featuring congratulatory comments from LSCPA President Dr. Betty Reynard and other campus leaders and wrapping up with grads’ photos and degree/certificate names scrolling across the video screen while “Pomp and Circumstance” played in the background.
