New logo, website add new personality Flint Hills donates equipment to Process Technology In its ongoing relationship with Lamar State College Port Arthur, Flint Hills Resources (FHR) Port Arthur has donated a specialized piece of training equipment to be used in the college’s Process Technology program. Flint Hills Resources Port Arthur has had a long-standing relationship with LSCPA, having donated more than $90,000 in scholarships through the Port Arthur Higher Education Foundation for students attending classes at the school. Paralegal program re-approved The American Bar Association recently confirmed its seven-year re-approval of the program as the school’s Paralegal Program continued its unbroken 14-year string of approval through the ABA. LSCPA’s Paralegal Program is among thousands available across the United States, but share the accolade of being one of only about 300 that are ABA-approved. The ABA’s comprehensive re-approval process takes place every seven years. As part of the ongoing efforts at LSCPA to move boldly into the future, the college revealed a new logo and website design, updating the look and feel for students, faculty and staff. The website, www.lamarpa.edu, and the new logo were conceived by Yoodle, a software solutions and managment consulting company in Overland Park, Kansas. The website was created with input from key administrative, faculty and staff members in the fall of 2015 with the unveiling taking place in January 2016. “The new logo provides a unique, high impact, eye-catching, and unforgettable impression for current and future endeavors,” said LSCPA President Dr. Betty Reynard. “The logo and a new web site design are helping Lamar State College Port Arthur secure a solid, recognizable face in the community for years to come.” Spring features co-enrollment graduates Graduation is always an exciting time as students celebrate their accomplishments in full commencement regalia. The Spring 2016 semester brought a new experience, though, as several students picked up their degrees and certificates more than a week before even graduating high school. The dual credit program allows students to take college classes while attending high school, leading to a quicker route to a college degree.
