And I feel that not one organization can fix that, it takes a collective effort. Not only the SGA, but you have MADDRAMA, you have dance ensemble, you have the Sonic Boom of the South. We have to make sure that we build those relationships with other organizations on campus to then make us as a whole be prosperous,\u201d said Moore.<\/p>\n<p>Charence Higgins, a speech major from Madison, Miss., will take over the reigns as 2015-2016 Miss Jackson State University. She currently serves as Miss Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc., Delta Phi Chapter, and MADDRAMA member. Her platform was: No L.I.M.I.T.S: No Losing Insight on My Intelligence, Talent and Service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning the election feels surreal. It\u2019s incredible and something I dreamt about since I was a freshman.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited and ready to implement my platform.
