Miss KWC

–Disclaimer: I wrote this post back in March when the event actually happened. Then I kind of forgot to actually post it. Found it the other day and decided to post it anyway. Hey, it’s Friday, right?–

Miss KWC is a pageant held annually at Kentucky Wesleyan where female students compete for the opportunity to represent our college on campus, the community and globally.

This year five young woman competed for the title — Bailey Goebel, Phoenix Jenkins, Cassandra Best, Courtney Grant and Courtney Chinn. The ladies competed in three categories, business casual with an introduction, formal with a talent and business professional attire with a question and answer session.

All woman performed beautifully; scoring was very difficult for the judges. When all the votes were tallied, Courtney Grant was the runner up and Courtney Chinn took home the tiara, sash and lovely bouquet.

As part of her reign as Miss KWC, Courtney will be working with Court Appointed Special Advocates. Judges appoint CASA volunteers to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children so they do not get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home.

CASA volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. We are proud of our new Miss KWC and look forward to our collaboration with CASA.

Congratulations to all the Miss KWC 2010 contestants!
