When diplomas are presented during Winter Commencement Saturday, March 6 in Thomas Assembly Center on the Ruston campus, it’s doubtful any member of Louisiana Tech’s Class of 2021 will be happier than Joe Bates.
And it’s certain no graduate will have gone as long 60 years between taking their last class at Tech and actually graduating.
“This will bring closure to something that has been missing in my life for a long time,” said Bates, who at age 79 is still working fulltime as a telepsychiatrist from his home in Tyler, Texas. “I have come full circle 60 years after leaving Tech. I am just so grateful for this opportunity to lay claim to being a Louisiana Tech Bulldog for life.”
