Last Thursday was the 15th annual Mr. Georgia Southern University where the 6 initial contestants competed for the title, a $1,000 scholarship and some sponsored prizes.
The 2021 Mr. Georgia Southern University is criminal justice major senior, Shahad Smith. Smith is heavily involved in organizations around campus and in giving back to the community which exemplifies this year’s Mr. GSU theme of “A Southern Superhero”. You can read more about some of the organizations that Smith is involved with here.
The two runner ups were Christopher Castro who won the Best Formal Wear and Best Talent Awards, and Kenterious Goolsby who won second runner up and tied with Tray Milton for Best Lifestyle and Fitness Award.
This week’s Campus Spotlight will be highlighting the Office of Student Activities (OSA). The OSA office is essential to creating and maintaining a healthy campus environment for all students.
The office oversees hundreds of student-led organizations between the three Georgia Southern Campuses, and also provides resources for students looking to join an organization or form their own.
Providing a friendly campus experience is a primary goal for the Office of Student Activities. For Memory Little, the Director of the Office of Student Activities, the goal is also to ensure that students feel a deeper connection to their school.
She said that on a micro and macro level, she wants her department to “offer a diverse offering of student engagement opportunities. For students to find their connection to the university. Maybe it’s meeting friends, just whatever they need outside of the classroom,” Little said.
