Deondra Rose, a senior who works part-time in the main library, won the 2005 Miss UGA pageant. Of her platform on youth leadership development, Rose says, “We have competing ideas of leadership. You can be a leader down on the corner or a leader in a gang or a leader in school. I want young people to know nothing is impossible and their community is so worth embracing and empowering.” Rose will represent UGA at the Miss Georgia pageant in June, and then she’ll go on to law school.
