Spivey Among Ebony Campus Queens

Ebony magazine holds its annual Historical Black College University Campus Queens competition, which is online and allows for persons to vote unlimited for their favorite Campus queen. With support from students, faculty, alumni and fellow HBCU students, Former Miss Southern, Ayanna Spivey, Senior BIS College of Education from Moreno valley California placed in the top 10. Spivey is proud of her accomplishment and happy to put SU “back on the map.” 
With the competition being a little over 5 years old, within those years only the eightieth Miss Southern, Kenya Warren, attempted to run, but wasn’t so successful due to the lack of ability to get the information out.
“In the beginning of my term my platform wasn’t as clear, but I knew that doing this competition was something I wanted to do,” said Spivey. 
Feeling that SU needed to be known nationally, Spivey thought this was a great opportunity. 
“Ebony Magazine is national, and even if we wouldn’t have placed we would have still been on their website for a year,” said Spivey. “I also feel that this win is a great recruitment tool because it will at least encourage interested or future students to look us up on the internet, especially out if state students,” finished Spivey. 
Using strategies to ensure support Spivey hosted voting parties, used social media and posted flyers.
“It felt like campaign week all over again,” said Spivey. She ended by saying that it  was a  blessing for her to know that she actually made an impact on the SUpporters, because if the students don’t like you they won’t rock with you,” finished Spivey.
