Laura Vickers

Greetings, my name is Laura Vickers, and I'm a senior pursuing a degree in Health Science with a passion for nursing and labor and delivery. My journey at Clayton State began as a transfer, and I've been trying to make my mark the best way I know how. With hard work and dedication, I now proudly serve as the Vice President of the Tau Epsilon Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. There is so much power in giving back to my community and making an impact in a way that may seem small but leaves a lasting impression, making it all the more worthwhile. As a transfer, it can be a big pressure to expect yourself to flourish in a newer area, especially as a junior in college, working hard to finish your degree. I'd like my representation on the court to show that with the right passion, you can come from anywhere, but leave an impact everywhere!

MISS SOPHOMORE
Candidate

Rebecca Oji

Being Miss Sophomore would be a great honor, but outside of that, let me tell you how I can benefit my fellow CSU classmates. I like to consider myself a leader and advocate for others, and as Miss Sophomore I would step further into that role. Also, I truly believe in our university's motto of “Social Mobility.” I believe that societally we are facing a crisis, where social skills are at an all-time low, and people struggle to communicate with one another. I’ve made it my personal mission to be the change and to bring back social success. It takes one individual to make the change. So CSU, please, I implore you to let me be the one for you.
