In a celebration of poise, purpose, and tradition, ۿ۴ýUniversity crowned its 2025–2026 Miss and Mister ۿ۴ýUniversity during the highly anticipated Royal Court Pageant held Thursday evening in the Chappie James Arena. The event featured five outstanding student leaders vying for a place on the prestigious court — three women for Miss ۿ۴ýUniversity and two men for Mister ۿ۴ýUniversity.

David Larkin a native of Warner Robins, Georgia was crowned Mister ۿ۴ýUniversity. Larkin, a senior Architecture major, most recently held the title of Mister Student Government Association during the 2024–2025 academic year. Drawing inspiration from the classic film Coming to America, his platform, “Coming to Royalty,” is about stepping into service and excellence. Larkin is committed to amplifying the lives of his fellow ۿ۴ý by cultivating purpose, promoting unity, and uplifting the ۿ۴ýlegacy through intentional leadership and student engagement.

Zion Hunt, a junior Elementary Education major from Auburn, was officially named the 2025–2026 Miss ۿ۴ýUniversity. Hunt also served as Miss Student Government Association for the 2024–2025 academic year. Her platform, “Becoming the Masterpiece,” centers on helping ۿ۴ý understand that their journey is both purposeful and defined by their unique legacy. Hunt aims to cultivate unity among the student body and expand safe spaces where ۿ۴ý can authentically express themselves. Through empowerment, leadership development, and inclusive collaboration, she hopes to inspire the next generation of global change-makers.
