Mr. & Miss Black OSU Scholarship Pageant
The Mr. & Miss Black OSU Scholarship Pageant occurs each year during Black History Month. The scholarship pageant program is open to all OSU undergraduate students.
History
In the fall of 1970, the first Miss Black Oklahoma State University was crowned, setting precedence for the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) scholarship pageants centered on diverse cultures and customs. In spring 2016, the Miss Black OSU Scholarship Pageant program was extended to include a Mr. Black OSU Scholarship Pageant. The addition provided more students opportunities to win scholarships and celebrate and honor Black culture and traditions.
Today, the pageant council holds steadfast to the principals established at the pageant's inception: empowerment, culture and diversity.
Mission
The mission of the Mr. and Miss Black Oklahoma State University Scholarship Pageant is to further develop the leadership, confidence and creativity of students. The royals will positively advance the aims and objectives of the African American Student Association, represent Oklahoma State University and serve as role models and spokespersons for their respective communities.
