PERSONAL
COMMENTS:
I feel very fortunate to be a part of
Lamar University. Enrollment is steady, moral is high and
our administration's commitment to quality
education, campus beautification, and student life is obvious. 
The Student
Health Center's interior has been totally updated and old equipment has been
replaced with new. Our Staff is highly qualified and dedicated to the
students and the university community. Why is this so
important?
Our students represent the future of
our city, our county, our state, our country. Though the
Student Health Center represents only a small part of the Lamar University
experience, our focus on health maintenance, health education, and health
promotion (physical and emotional) can be instrumental in maximizing our
students' individual performance, enhancing their educational experience,
and in forming well-balanced, highly educated adults to lead us into our future. I like where we're going and I'm proud to be a part of such an important
mission.

role managing student's acute medical problems and providing counseling on
health promotion.
