Nineteen coeds to compete for Ms. ABAC title Feb. 26
Nineteen contestants will compete in Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s 55th annual Ms. ABAC contest on Wednesday, February 26.
The event, which is sponsored by the ABAC Agripreneurs, begins at 7 p.m. in ABAC’s Howard Auditorium. Admission is $10, and advance ticket purchase is advised because of limited seating. Tickets can be purchased from any Agripreneurs officer in the Donaldson Dining Hall the week of the event.
“We are eager to celebrate the emerald anniversary of this ABAC tradition and look forward to the signature event each year,” said Dr. Audrey Luke-Morgan, associate professor of Agribusiness, Department Head for Agriculture, and event director. “While it requires a lot of planning and organizing, it also brings a lot of fun and excitement to the campus. The Agripreneurs’ members gain skills in event planning and execution. The contestants build self-confidence throughout each stage of the contest—from fundraising for a community cause to writing the essay to answering the final on-stage question. Above all, the event brings together all facets of campus to share our passion for ABAC!”
Contestants will compete in casual and evening wear and will be judged on a written essay and interview with the judges. The top 10 contestants will answer a question on stage.
