Lafayette native helps teach the future of AI and blockchain

A Lafayette native who spent nearly two decades building a career in Asia is now helping shape how college students understand the future of artificial intelligence, blockchain technology and digital assets. Northside High School graduate Don Jayamaha , Class of 2004, recently returned to the United States after nearly 18 years living and working in Asia. Today, he serves as head of digital assets and tokenization at Delshah Capital, a New York-based real estate investment firm. Earlier this month, Jayamaha was invited to serve as a guest lecturer at Stony Brook University's College of Business, where he addressed students enrolled in BUS 381: Blockchain & Digital Assets, the university's first blockchain-focused course. During the Nov. 2 lecture, Jayamaha discussed how real-world assets, including commercial real estate, are being moved onto blockchain networks through tokenization. He also introduced students to the concept of Web4, which he describes as the convergence of artificial intelligence agents, blockchain technology and tokenized assets. While universities across the country increasingly offer certificate programs focused on artificial intelligence, Jayamaha believes few, if any, for-credit courses currently teach Web4 as a standalone concept. The presentation impressed course instructor Professor Danling Jiang, who has already invited Jayamaha to return

Eighteen-year-old Alex Savage, now a nursing student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, did just that when he was elected to one of five at-large seats on the Carencro City Council, coming in fourth with 1,203 votes.

Cecilia football rolls past Carencro for share of 4A-5 District title

If Cecilia football wanted a share of the Class 4A District 5 championship, it knew it had to put on a show in Week 10 against Carencro. The Golden Bears sat atop the district for most of the season but the Bulldogs were determined to make room for themselves, taking a 51-22 victory and forcing a three-way tie for the district championship between themselves, Carencro and Opelousas. “This win means a lot,” Cecilia quarterback Layne Champagne said. “We came up short in the Opelousas game, and we told ourselves all week that we were coming for this game, and we’re gonna bit back. We showed them what we got tonight.” From the first play, forcing a fumble on kickoff, to a backbreaking pick six in the fourth quarter, Cecilia didn't leave this game to chance as it closed out the regular season with a win.
