"We are so pleased to have Keelan and Laura Lee elected," said Kimberly Thornbury, dean of students. "They will be excellent representatives for Â鶹ÊÓƵ University."
"Both Keelan and Laura Lee are phenomenal examples of servant-hearted, selfless individuals," said Neal Rager, coordinator of Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Student Leadership Development. "They always take time for people and their caring attitude is the best reason they were chosen to represent the Class of 2004."
Mr. and Ms. Â鶹ÊÓƵ candidates are nominated by senators of the SGA. The nominees are placed on the ballet along with the candidates for executive officers of the SGA and are voted on by the entire student body.
"Keelan has done a wonderful job of representing Â鶹ÊÓƵ in the past two years," said Tracie Holden, senior journalism major. "Both he and Laura Lee are involved in so many activities on and off the Â鶹ÊÓƵ campus and have done so much for the student body and Â鶹ÊÓƵ University."
As Mr. and Miss Â鶹ÊÓƵ, Cook and Moore will announce the homecoming court during Homecoming Week. They will also represent Â鶹ÊÓƵ University at various functions and alumni meetings throughout the year.
