The commencement ceremony for Lone Star College-Montgomery’s Class of 2011 will take place on Friday, May 13, 2011, at 6 p.m., at The Woodlands Church-Fellowship Campus. This year, LSC-Montgomery has more than 600 graduates; however, not every graduate will participate in the ceremony.
Dr. Larry Loomis-Price, professor of biotechnology at LSC-Montgomery, and Elizabeth Chrisman, a Class of 2011 graduate, will each address the graduates at the ceremony.
Loomis-Price, an award-winning professor, has been teaching full-time in LSC-Montgomery’s biotechnology program since 2002. He is faculty senate vice president and the faculty advisor for the biofuels working group, a student organization that produces diesel fuel from a variety of “green” sources, including reclaimed waste vegetable oil. Loomis-Price earned his doctoral degree in biological chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley.
Chrisman has been highly involved at LSC-Montgomery while pursuing her associate’s degree in music. She is president of the Student Government Association and a member of the President’s Student Advisory Council. Chrisman plans to continue her education and earn a bachelor’s degree in music education with an emphasis on vocal performance. She hopes to combine her talent for the performing arts with her passion for traveling to work internationally as a classical vocalist, conductor, or choral director.
Dr. Austin A. Lane, president of LSC-Montgomery, will preside over the ceremony.
The Woodlands Church-Fellowship Campus is located at One Fellowship Drive in The Woodlands, approximately one mile west of the LSC-Montgomery campus.
