His focus is on positive behavioral interventions and supports, and his research centers on classroom management practices, small-group interventions, and fidelity of program implementation. Briere, Neag BS \u201907 and MA \u201908, says he developed his passion for research as a graduate assistant in the master\u2019s program.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the award itself, \u201cbeing able to meet and talk with the scholarship donor was such an honor,\u201d Briere said about his time with Elayne Marrotte, the sister of the scholarship\u2019s namesake and daughter of the late professor emeritus A.J. Pappanikou and his wife, Lucette. \u201cThe scholarship will certainly aid in my journey through my post-graduate program. I am humbled by the accomplishments past recipients have made and am striving to uphold these high expectations with my future research and endeavors,\u201d Briere said.<\/p>\n<p>Along with recipients of specifically named and purposed scholarships, 74 students who received support through the Neag Endowment also were honored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many thanks to scholarship donors who attended the 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual Honors Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mrs. JoAnn Aitken, Andrew T.
