Erica-Christina Beauty Little was crowned a second time
this past Saturday night. Already holding
the title of Miss Savannah State University 2006 – 2007,
Miss Little was also crowned Miss NBCA (National Black
College Alumni) for 2006 – 2007.
The daughter of
Ronald and Linda Little, Miss Little is a graduating
senior majoring in Vocal Performance. She is on the
SSU Dean’s List, National Dean’s List, a Silver
Medallion Scholar, and a Laptop Scholar. She is also involved in the Honors Program,
Chairman of the Queens Coalition, Student Government
Association Executive Board, Savannah State University
Concert Choir, Sisters Striving For Excellence, to name
just a few.
As a little
girl, Miss Little always dreamed of becoming
Miss Savannah State. Both of her
parents had graduated from the university and through
the years, she has had the opportunity to observe past
queens.
Seeing so many positive role models over the
years spurred her dream to reality.
Homecoming
festivities will be going on all of the week of
October 15 – 21,
2006
with Miss Little’s crowning being held on
Thursday, October 19,
2006 at 8:00
pm. At that time,
she will officially become
Miss Savannah State University.
Add to this
distinction the fact that Miss Little was also crowned
Miss NBCA this past Saturday night at the Hyatt Regency
Downtown in Atlanta, GA. Each year, the
National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame Foundation
holds the Competition of Black College Queens to
showcase young African American women who have already
been recognized by their respective college with the
coveted title of “college queen”. The Competition highlights the intellect, talent,
and personalities of these young women and it was
decided that Miss Little excelled above all others
competing.
We congratulate
Miss Little and her parents, loved ones, and friends on
this esteemed honor and we wish her the best of luck and
continued success in the
future.
