called my name, I felt so much joy. I have worked extremely hard for this and to see it all pay off has been such a rewarding experience. SAU is my home, and now I get to represent the place and people that have given so much to me. I am so beyond proud to be Miss Southern Arkansas University. I was in shock and on cloud nine, and honestly, I still am. I am so honored to carry this title and to represent our University at Miss Arkansas, and I am going to wear this sash with so much pride and joy every single place that I go to.&#8221;<\/p><h3>Why is your platform important to you?<\/h3><p>&#8220;Reading is something I have been passionate about for as long as I can remember. Seeing that reading scores have steadily decreased over the years has made me want to make a difference. Reading is something we all do every day, so it is something that people should learn to love and enjoy if they do not already. I love being able to escape in a book if I am not having the best day, or just for the fun of it, and I want other people to be able to do the same thing.&#8221;<\/p><h3>What do you hope to accomplish by being Miss SAU?<\/h3><p>&#8220;I would love to give back to this campus and community as much as I possibly can. I want to make SAU proud, and I want to be someone that sets an example for younger generations. As Miss SAU, I am not just Cait anymore, so I want to make sure I am always the best version of myself and someone that people feel like they can come to for anything.&#8221;<\/p><h3>What are you looking forward to when you compete in Miss Arkansas?<\/h3><p>&#8220;Going to Miss Arkansas has always been a dream of mine, so knowing that I actually get to go this year has been so exciting, and especially since I get to do it as Miss SAU. This school and these people have my heart, so being able to tell everyone that I am Miss Southern Arkansas University is going to be one of the most exciting things for me. I am also very excited to make a bunch of new friends. I have already had the privilege of meeting some of the other girls and they have been so kind, so I cannot wait to meet everyone else.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mulerider Spotlight is a Social @ SAU series that highlights students, faculty, and staff of SAU.\u00a0 There are so many wonderful people at SAU, and we hope this series will allow you to get to know a few of our fellow Muleriders a little better.
