Athens State Crowns 2013 Ms. Merry Christmas


Athens, Ala. - This year's Athens State University Ms. Merry Christmas was crowned Tuesday, November 19 in the Parlor of Founders Hall. The crown went to Lauren Millican from Pisgah, Alabama.

Millican is the daughter of Greg and Lesa Millican. She is a junior at Athens State University pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Collaborative Education after transferring to Athens State from Northwest Alabama Community College.

“I chose to pursue a career in education because I enjoy teaching children and helping them to succeed,” Millican remarked on her choice of majors. “I also want to be a positive influence for children.”

Millican serves as President of Mu Alpha Theta, is a Teacher Ambassador, in the Student Government Association, and is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and Sigma Kappa Delta.
