🎖️ ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: RYAN A. ROBINSON

The Lamar University Black Alumni Network proudly congratulates Ryan A. Robinson on his upcoming pinning as a United States Navy Chief Petty Officer (E-7) on September 16, 2026.

After nearly 12 years of honorable service as an Aviation Ordnanceman, Ryan has demonstrated the leadership, discipline, technical expertise, and commitment to excellence that define this distinguished Navy milestone.

A proud Lamar University alumnus and member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Ryan has carried the values of achievement, service, and leadership throughout his military career. As he prepares for medical retirement and a return to Southeast Texas with his family, we are proud to celebrate both this incredible accomplishment and the legacy of service he has built along the way.

Please join us in congratulating Chief Petty Officer Robinson on this well-earned honor. ❤️🖤🇺🇸

Once a Cardinal. Always a Cardinal.

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and commemorates the moment on June 19, 1865, when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, progress, and the enduring contributions of Black Americans throughout history. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice while honoring the generations whose strength and perseverance continue to inspire us.

As W.E.B. Du Bois wrote, “The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.” These words remind us that freedom must be valued, protected, and advanced through education, leadership, service, and collective action.

As members of the Lamar Black Alumni Network, we celebrate the rich legacy, achievements, and impact of our Black alumni, students, faculty, staff, and communities. May we continue to uplift one another, preserve our history, and build a future rooted in opportunity, excellence, and belonging.

Happy Juneteenth from the Lamar University Black Alumni Network.
