    Notable Louisiana Tech alumni

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...versity_alumni

    Not sure who created/upkeeps the website, but it's pretty cool to see. Looks like not everyone on the list is an "alumnus", as some only attend Tech for a short period then transferred to another school.

    Most surprising on the list for me: Will Wright - Co-founder of the game development company Maxis; Creator of the Sim City computer game series

    Missing from the list: Cheryl Ford, Dr. Randall F. Barron, and others (http://www.latech.edu/admissions/alumni.shtml)

    It's wikipedia, anyone can update the info. As far on who created the site, it was created by Jfossella on Oct 2007.

    If you want to add missing information, just edit the page.

    Before 2007, it was just on the Tech entry for notable alumni.

    I was the one who added Will Wright back before 2007. I initially added Wright to the last after seeing a biography on him that was shown on G4, and was shocked that he was once a Bulldawg! Wright transfered from LSU to Tech back in 1978 because Tech had the better robotics classes. He was here for 2 years before leaving.

    An alumnus is, by definition, a person who attended OR graduated from an institution.

    Will Wright blows my mind. That man is a legend. Going on my 7th year at Tech and this is the first I've heard of this...and I majored in programming!!

    host of Cheaters...that's hilarious.

    So are the Vanilla Ice rumors not true? That's been an urban legend around campus - that Ice spent a semester or two here - for as long as I can remember.

    I'm pretty sure that is not true. He was a guest on KLPI radio a couple of times before "Ice Ice Baby" hit it big, but I don't think he ever enrolled at Tech. He did become good friends with one of the KLPI DJs, which later paid off for both of them professionally.

    I had the privilege of meeting (only only saluted and shaking hands) Gen. David Jones when I attended the USAFA in 1974. I had no idea he was a TECH grad.

    He wasn't a Tech grad. Apparently Tech was one of the schools he collected courses from en route to a degree.
