Miss Lander 2025
The Miss Lander Pageant celebrates Lander students who demonstrate confidence, service, communication, leadership and Bearcat pride.
Whether you have years of pageant experience or have never stepped on a pageant stage before, Miss Lander is designed to be an accessible and welcoming experience for Lander students. Contestants do not need professional coaching, a designer wardrobe or even a traditional performance talent to participate.
The competition includes Private Interview, Talent or HERStory, Health & Fitness, Evening Wear and On-Stage Conversation, giving contestants multiple opportunities to share who they are, what they care about and how they hope to make an impact.
The student selected as Miss Lander will serve as a visible representative of Lander University and have the opportunity to use her platform and Community Service Initiative to make a difference on campus and in the Greenwood community.
