PR major crowned Ms. GCSU Keri Allgood was voted by her peers to be honored as Ms. GCSU 2009. Allgood is a public relations major at GCSU and is involved with PRSSA, Lambda Pi Eta and Phi Mu.
“I am so excited to represent not only Phi Mu, but GCSU as a whole. My big sister in Phi Mu, Taylor Sapp, was Ms. GCSU two years ago, so I feel like I have to fill some big shoes,” Allgood said. Every year, organizations on campus pick a representative to participate in Mr. and Ms. GCSU. These organizations and representatives put in a lot of hard work during homecoming week to get recognized. They campained by chalking sidewalks, posting fliers, hosting table tents, and other public relations work. “Homecoming week was definitely a stressful week full of PR work and voting, but it all paid off. I am so thankful to have had such a good PR team,” said Allgood. v Cara Wilmer
