     HAMMOND – Five current Southeastern Louisiana University students will compete at the 2021 Miss Louisiana Competition this week. Scheduled June 17 through 19, the pageant will take place at the WL Jack Howard Theatre in Monroe, La.
     Miss Southeastern 2020, Janine Hatcher of Chesapeake, Va., and the newly crowned Miss Southeastern 2021, Lily Gayle of Hammond, will represent the university at the competition. Gayle will compete under the title of Miss Green and Gold due to the cancellation of the competition last summer.

     As candidates in the Miss Louisiana Organization, each woman has a social impact initiative. Wooton promotes sexual assault awareness. Larose advocates for Type-1 Diabetics. Hatcher calls her initiative “Respect Individual Potential.” Gayle’s initiative is “The Lifter’s Project.” She created the initiative to raise awareness for depression, anxiety, and anorexia. Magri advocates for military families. Southeastern Alumna, Jessica Thonn, is also competing. Her title is Miss Dixie Stockshow and she advocates for mental health.
