Lamar University will host “Standing Ovation”, a celebration honoring LU President Jimmy Simmons and first lady Susan Simmons, on Saturday, March 2, in the Montagne Center. Simmons is stepping down after more than 14 years of service as president and 43 years with the university.

“Standing Ovation” highlights also will include special recognitions during halftime of the men’s game. The celebration will recognize the Simmons’ for the parts they have played in the growth and success of the university during their tenures.
Guests are being asked to wear rubber-soled shoes to the post-game reception.
