In recent years, Southeast Texas and the Lamar community have persevered through economic hardship, various unprecedented natural disasters, devastating industrial accidents, and a worldwide pandemic. These situations, in addition to the usual struggles of being human, have tested us physically, intellectually, and emotionally. In spite of these challenges, we have proven our resiliency, demonstrating our incredible strength and tenacity to recover and rebuild, showing the world just what we are made of.
Through the generosity of the Lamar University Center for Resiliency and in coordination with Lamar University Literary Press, we are producing a collection of your writing entitled LamarStrong: A Resiliency Reader.
