Miss Southern Arkansas University is a scholarship pageant that takes place annually during the fall semester and is a preliminary to the Miss Arkansas Pageant. Summer Carter, the reigning Miss Southern Arkansas University, will crown a new queen during this event. Carter is a senior early childhood education major from Fouke, Ark.<\/p>\n
Among those competing for Miss Southern Arkansas University are Nakita Artis, a sophomore middle school education major from El Dorado, Ark.; Lora Callicott, a sophomore nursing major from Magnolia, Ark.; Kayleigh Collins, a sophomore finance major from Hope, Ark.; Sarah Gatliff, a sophomore with an undecided major from Murfressboro, Ark.; Amber Hathorn, a junior pre-nursing major from Minden, La.; and Beth Monroe, a senior English major from Hope, Ark.<\/p>\n
There are four categories in which contestants are judged: interview, talent, evening gown, and lifestyle and fitness. Each contestant must complete a critical issue statement. This statement is intended to give each contestant a platform involving an issue that affects society in general or women in particular. Contestants will be interviewed about their chosen issue and asked a related question on stage during the evening gown competition.<\/p>\n
A new addition to the Miss America program this year is a $100 donation to Children\u2019s Miracle Network\u2014Miss America\u2019s national platform\u2014from all local preliminary contestants.<\/p>\n
Scholarship awards will be given. Miss SAU 2008 will be awarded two full semesters of tuition and the First Runner-Up will receive one full semester of tuition. The Second Runner-Up and Talent Winner will each be awarded a $400 scholarship. Admission to the pageant is $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under and SAU students with student identification.<\/p>\n
