Miss West Chester University (WCU) will host its 25^th live competition on Feb. 3 at 7:30 PM in the University’s Emilie K. Asplundh Concert Hall, located at 700 South High Street. Eight WCU students will compete for the Miss WCU 2024 title and more than $3,000 in scholarships through an inclusive contest focusing on leadership, academic achievement, and service to the community. Miss WCU tickets are $14, and proceeds will benefit the program scholarships.

Over its 25-year history, Miss WCU has awarded more than $60,000 in scholarships to hundreds of WCU women. The competition is comprised of five categories: interview, casual wear, talent, an on-stage question, and evening wear. The competition, hosted by Holly Harrar, former Miss Philadelphia, will also feature a full production show with appearances from Rammy, WCU’s Dance Team, and Under A Rest A Cappella group.  

The program will also feature the current Miss WCU, Madelyn Rowan, a junior International Business and Supply Chain Management major who has spent the last year serving the community.

Rowan states that impacting the community has been the most rewarding part of holding the Miss WCU title.

“Although I am sad that my year is coming to an end, I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate the 25th Miss WCU competition and watch another young woman’s dreams come true,” said Rowan.

Miss WCU is supported annually by the WCU Pageants Student Organization, the Miss WCU Alumni Chapter, local businesses, and numerous volunteers. The event is open to the community.
