President
Lamar Institute of Technology
The Texas State University System Board of
Regents, the Chancellor, and the Beaumont community invite nominations and applications for the position of President, Lamar Institute of
Technology (LIT). The Chancellor and others are seeking a visionary leader who is focused on the future and committed to innovation and
change, while continuing to prioritize student engagement and success, inclusive excellence, strong partnerships with K-12 and local
employers, as well as enhanced collaboration with LIT’s sister institutions in Southeast Texas. The next president will continue to
build and enhance innovative opportunities for LIT graduates through business acumen and will strengthen the institute’s significant
contributions to economic development and quality of life in the region and beyond. The president is expected to assume office by late
Summer, 2022.
LIT is a two-year technical college offering associate of applied science degrees and certificates in more than 50
educational programs, including business, allied health, technology, public safety, and continuing education. Ranked among the
nation’s fastest growing two-year institutions, LIT enrolls 4,500 students in academic programs, including 1,600 dual credit and
career and technical education students, in addition to serving thousands of additional adult learners through non-credit, workforce
training courses, with an unduplicated headcount of 6,200 students.
Lamar Institute of Technology is located in Beaumont, Texas. The
main campus, covering approximately 20 acres, contains 11 buildings and the Institute recently secured $37 million to construct a 51,000
square foot Workforce Training Center. Over the past several years, LIT has ranked as one of the top two-year institution producers of
industrial technology graduates in the nation. It is one of the largest producers of process operators and instrumentation technicians in
the world, with more than 500 students continuously enrolled in these programs. According to the US Department of Education, of all two-year
public colleges, LIT was ranked number 1 in Texas and tied for number 3 in the nation for highest student median salary 10 years after
graduation.
The next president of LIT will be presented with the exciting and challenging opportunity to lead the Institute to even
greater heights. The next president will assume leadership at an extraordinary time—a point where the Institute has recently
experienced significant growth and expansion during an unprecedented period of uncertainty due to pandemic and weather-related crises, yet
where it will need visionary direction to continue to evolve as a national leader in technical education and a preferred provider of
high-quality, workforce training for Southeast Texas and beyond.
