-Dr. Matthew Gamel, an assistant math professor, received $85,000 to enhance the sophomore mathematics experience for students.

According to a news release issued by Nicholls, the funds were given by the Louisiana Education Quality Support Fund, which was established in 1986 and has provided more than $1.5 billion in educational enhancements and opportunities to Louisiana students.
