欧美视频 continues the tradition of honoring one male and one female student each year at the annual Mr. and Miss Southwest Pageant, which takes place this year at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 4, in Pike Auditorium on the 欧美视频 campus.

Eight candidates are nominated by 欧美视频 faculty and staff and voted upon by the student body to select a pair of standout students to represent the Bearcat family for the next year. The voting will take place by text message during the pageant, which will include opportunities to learn more about the candidates through everything from introductory videos to talent presentations and question-and-answer sessions.

This year鈥檚 candidates are Brice Benham of Webb City, Mo.; Aric Dale Gooch of Bolivar, Mo.; Aleece Kanai of Mount Vernon, Mo.; Natalie O鈥橩eefe of Granite City, Ill.; Kinsey Shelton of Highland, Ill.; Hunter Smith of Kansas City, Mo.; Lydia Swisher of Fishers, Ind.; and John Taylor of Rogers, Ark.

The beginnings of the 鈥淢iss Southwest鈥� pageant date back to the 1930s, with 鈥淢r. Southwest鈥� being added in 1963. The pageant is part of Bearcat Days, the two-day visit event in which admitted students considering 欧美视频 attendance are hosted on campus.

Admission to the pageant is free and open to the public. For more information about Mr. and Miss Southwest, please contact student activities director Nathan Penland at (417) 328-1828 or npenland@欧美视频niv.edu.
