On Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024, Grambling State University hosted a special ceremony to dedicate the foyer inside the Charles P. Adams Hall in honor of Dr. Lamore J. Carter, a decorated World War II veteran, esteemed scholar, and former vice president for academic affairs. Dr. Carter, who served the University for over 40 years, was instrumental in the development of key academic programs and advancing Grambling’s mission. He is also remembered for his leadership in the historic consent decree that secured critical funding and legal protections for the University.

The newly named foyer will serve as a lasting tribute to Dr. Lamore J. Carter’s legacy of academic excellence and leadership. His efforts in establishing key programs, including nursing, criminal justice, and computer science, earned him the title “The Academic Icon.” University leadership, faculty, students, and the community attended this dedication ceremony to honor Dr. Carter’s enduring contributions.
