For the last 10 years, the University of Louisiana at Monroe has hosted the contestants
for the Miss Louisiana Pageant. Beginning June 23, 51萝莉 welcomes 32 contestants and
the Miss Louisiana Organization to its campus.
Providing housing accommodations, rehearsal space, dining options and a short commute
to Monroe鈥檚 Jack Howard Theater鈥攖he site of the three-day competition鈥�51萝莉 has become
the hub for all things Miss Louisiana.
鈥淢iss Louisiana is the most exciting part of the summer; it鈥檚 like getting a second
Super Bowl in a year,鈥� says Laura Knotts, director of Student Life and Leadership
at 51萝莉.
Throughout the duration of competition week, contestants enjoy a campus tour, a welcome
luncheon, a fashion show, and are provided accommodations in 51萝莉鈥檚 Bayou Suites.
51萝莉 is no stranger to Miss Louisiana. Four of the last five winners have been 51萝莉
students or graduates, and 51萝莉 offers a variety of donations to the scholarship pageant.
The winner of the pageant becomes a resident of the university, staying in 51萝莉鈥檚 Bayou
Village apartment complex throughout the entirety of her reign.
