Larry Beaulieu, vice president and general manager of KFDM-TV Beaumont, was honored by Lamar University as a distinguished alumnus.
Even though he began his education at Texas Tech University, he received a mass communication degree in 1977 while working at KFDM-TV as a news director, producer and anchor.
“I didn’t want to leave my degree hanging, so it was more of a personal accomplishment for me to complete my degree at Lamar,” Beaulieu said.
He serves Texas Tech University and Lamar as a member of their respective mass communication advisory councils.
Beaulieu chaired the TAB Board of Directors in 1999.
