The Stephen F. Austin State University Alumni Association announced that Newman Smith High School graduate, Morgan Pulliam, has been selected as recipient of the 2017 Miss SFA Award. A first generation college student, Pulliam graduated from NSHS in 2013.
A psychology major, Pulliam has served as president and vice president of New Opportunities for Romanian Orphan Children. Additionally, she has served as an SFA Orientation leader, and volunteered with the Nacogdoches Animal Shelter, The Big Event and SFA’s food pantry.
“Morgan is welcoming, approachable, personable, a leader and a true SFA Lumberjack,” said Dr. Hollie G. Smith, assistant dean of student affairs for programs at SFA. “The list of organizations she is involved in as a member and/or leader is something to admire. She takes on each new task with a lens of going above and beyond.”
