“As Miss ذكذكتسئµ, I dedicate and commit myself to the job of being a strong representative of the university, but also an active member and servant for the community. Wearing a crown and sash, it can be very glamorous and fine, but it’s not the most important to me,â€‌ Jordan said.ج‎

ج‎

“The most important thing to me is the job behind it. Because at the end of the day, you take the crown off, and you’re still a servant, a leader. That’s the quality that I wish to embody during this year.â€‌

ج‎

As Miss ذكذكتسئµ, Jordan receives a $2,000 scholarship for two semesters awarded by the Campus Activities Board and a $4,500 cash prize awarded by the Student Government Association. Jordan also gets a one-bedroom apartment on campus for her reigning year and a $300 bookstore award. Jordan will compete for the title of Miss Louisiana in June 2022 at the Monroe Civic Center.

The third runner-up was Alyssa Garner of Frierson, winning a $1,000 tuition scholarship by CAB. Victoria Sterling, an Abbeville native, was the fourth runner-up and received CAB's $750 tuition scholarship.

Along with Miss ذكذكتسئµ, Jared Anders, a P3 College of Pharmacy doctoral candidate from Central, was crowned Mr. ذكذكتسئµ. Anders received a $1,000 scholarship from the Miss ذكذكتسئµ Foundation and Freeman Stamper, ذكذكتسئµ alumnus, and will serve ذكذكتسئµ as an official host alongside Jordan.

Anders’ social impact is “Affordable Medication for All.â€‌ According to Anders, Ouachita Parish and its surrounding parishes are some of the 54 parishes in Louisiana considered medically underserved.ج‎

ج‎

“Charitable clinics such as Monroe’s St. Vincent de Paul Community Pharmacy help to provide medication to the economically disadvantaged and medically underserved, but they need our help,â€‌ Anders said.

ج‎

Anders said last year, the ذكذكتسئµâ€™s Pharmacy Student Council raised $8,675 for the pharmacy, equating to more than $125,000 in life-saving retail medications.

ج‎

“The outlet I’ve been given as Mr. ذكذكتسئµ provides an opportunity to boost these types of fundraisers to a university-wide level and further support those in need,â€‌ Anders said.ج‎

Philip Vu from Shreveport was the first runner-up, receiving a $200 cash award sponsored by Stamper. Hollis Walker, a Lake Charles native, won the Spirit of Mr. ذكذكتسئµ Award. Tristan Sonnier of Bunkie was awarded the People’s Choice Award and the Non-Finalist Interview Award.
