Synopsis of Passport Program
The Passport through Lamar program offers students unsurpassed
opportunities for professional growth. A pilot version of the program
was launched in the Spring 2009 semester for the College of Business.
The program is comprised of three categories: professional development,
experiential learning, and community connections.
The way the program works:
Each Event is worth a certain amount of points, depending on the
category.
Students receive credit for every event they attend upon the receipt
of a stamp at an event, or by turning in a
Passport Request Form
Passports are considered complete once the participant has attained
400 points.
Participating students will receive:
For every event the student attends, their name will be entered into a
drawing at the end of the month. A prize, provided by the Career and
Testing Center, will be granted to the winning student.
All students who complete their Passport will receive a $25 gift card
to Barnes and Noble.
MBA Students who complete their Passport will receive a $250
scholarship.
For College of Business Students who complete their Passports will be
entered into a drawing to win a $1,500 scholarship sponsored by the
College of Business. This scholarship is to be used in the following
semester.
Currently, this program is only being offered to College of Business
students and MBA students. These students may pick up their passports in
the Career and Testing Center. In the future, the Passport will be
available to all colleges, thus providing students with a set of
marketable skills to aid them in securing a future in their field of
choice. So, why should I join
