Junior Katie Louviere, a nursing major from Cut Off, and senior Andrew Gilmer, a communicative disorders major from Lockport, were crowned the Nicholls 2023 homecoming queen and king during the homecoming football game halftime on Saturday.

He is also a member of the University Honors Program and Order of Omega, an honorary society open only to members of social letter Greek organizations. Gilmer plans to attend graduate school to become a speech language pathologist.

A recent ribbon-cutting opened 24-7 Prayer, an international, interdenominational prayer movement, with a vision to revive the church and rewire the culture through nonstop, night and day prayer. Located at 777 Delmar Ave., Bayou Vista, this is the first 24-7 prayer space of its kind in Louisiana. 24-7 Prayer says it is for the super-spiritual, the seeker and the spiritually curious.
