When Dr. Larry Rideaux graduated from college in 1993, he was not quite sure where his path would lead next. He took a job as an admissions officer at his alma mater, Lamar University in Texas, as an admissions representative. He soon discovered that higher education was his calling.
“From that point, I just knew that a career in education is what I wanted to do,” Rideaux says.
