In early March, Cathi Cox-Boniol, Director of the Region 8 LaSTEM Center and Louisiana Tech graduate, was honored with several awards during the annual International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) conference.

Cox-Boniol was recognized as the Outstanding Affiliate Representative for Region 2, which includes Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee as well as Ontario and Quebec. This honor was awarded for her work to facilitate growth within the state of Louisiana.

The Council for STEM Leadership (CSL) within ITEEA also recognized Cox-Boniol as Outstanding State/Province Leader. This award recognizes leadership as well as service to the profession, and only one state was so honored. During the event, Cox-Boniol was elected Secretary/Treasurer of the CSL.

Finally, Cox-Boniol was invited to membership in Epsilon Pi Tau, the International Honor Society for Professions in Technology, the official honor society for ITEEA. She was challenged during her initiation to install a chapter of Epsilon Pi Tau at Louisiana Tech University.
