The Julie & Ben Rogers Community Service Award was established in 1979 to recognize faculty and staff members across the Lamar institutions who make a meaningful impact on the Golden Triangle through exceptional service and volunteer work. The Rogers family created this award to honor those who dedicate their time and talents to the community and to inspire others to do the same. Each year, four recipients are selected among the four colleges of Lamar University, Lamar Institute of Technology, Lamar State College Port Arthur, and Lamar State College Orange. Since its inception, the award has celebrated the contributions of countless individuals who have enriched the region through their dedication.

She inspires us all to give more of ourselves and make a difference, just as she does every day.”
Beyond her professional role, Ms. Wyles is deeply committed to community service. She has served as the Chairperson for Birthright of Orange, Inc., demonstrating her dedication to supporting local initiatives.
On campus, she has been recognized with the President’s Staff Award for Campus and Community Service in 2022 and the NISOD Excellence Award in 2023, highlighting her unwavering commitment to excellence and service.
