 HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University history master’s candidate and Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies research assistant Lauren Guillory has been selected as the recipient of the inaugural Nicholas Cefalu Graduate Research Scholarship.
     Created in honor of former state representative and Tangipahoa Parish businessman Nick Cefalu, the award is designed to support student research centered in areas of particular interest to Cefalu, who was an avid promoter of agricultural, educational, and business interests in the region.
     A native of Abita Springs, Guillory will receive a full graduate stipend, along with a $1,500 enhancement, funded through a donation from Dr. Ann Kay Logarbo and the Cefalu family. Managed by the center, the award competition takes place in the spring semester each year.
