major Susan Coffey of Mandeville received the Outstanding Student Teacher
award at the Southeastern Louisiana University College of Education and

Coffey, who will graduate

of Livingston, Sara Elston of Ponchatoula, and Callie Foreman of Covington.
Coffey and Russell were

At the 11 a.m. ceremony
in the Cate Teacher Education Center Kiva, the college also recognized
as its outstanding alumnus Myles M. Seghers, acting Dean of Humanities,
Education and Counseling at Our Lady of Holy Cross College in New Orleans.
Seghers earned a bachelor's degree in social studies education in 1970
and a master's degree in educational administration in 1987.
During his career in education,
Seghers has served as an assistant basketball and baseball coach, social
studies teacher and principal. He also worked for the Diocese of New Orleans
as an assistant and associate superintendent, and executive assistant to
the superintendent. He joined Our Lady of Holy Cross College in 1998 as
director of student teaching and later also became coordinator for the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education process and director
of undergraduate education and certification. He was named acting dean
in 2004.
Accepting the award, Segher
praised both the warmth of the Southeastern community and the quality of
its teacher preparation program, which, he said, “prepared me very, very
well for my experience as a high school teacher, coach and for my doctoral
program.”
“As dean I am often motivated
by the thought that if we can reach Southeastern’s level of excellence,
we are truly doing a good job,” Segher said.
Also recognized at the
ceremony were three graduates who received their Southeastern diplomas
in education 50 years ago, Earline Decouteau, an Ascension Parish teacher
and librarian; Norma Legette, who taught elementary education in Holden
