• Source: List of Lamar University alumni

      • The List of Lamar University alumni includes notable former students of Lamar University. The term "Lamar Cardinal," which comes from Lamar's mascot "Big Red," a cardinal, refers to current and former students of Lamar University. The class year of each former student indicates the year four years after their enrollment year, and does not necessarily represent graduation year.
      Lamar University was previously known as Lamar College and Lamar State College of Technology (Lamar Tech); this list includes students who graduated when Lamar held different names than the one it holds today.
