Simone Swanson, communication major at Bowling Green State University from Cleveland, Oh has committed and dedicated herself to giving back to her community in a number of ways. While serving on the executive board for Precious Stones, she and her group brought the first ever plus size fashion show to Bowling Green State University. The goal of the fashion show was to dispel the myth that beauty was one size or shape. While serving as a member on the executive board Simone also contributed to a conference on professionalism. As chair of the conference she was instrumental in bringing Omarosa Manigault star of the Apprentice, as the keynote speaker for the event. In addition to her endless efforts to unit woman on Bowling Green’s campus, Simone has also been involved in several other community service programs. Including alternative spring break and the South Bronx mission trip. With plans to graduate in the fall, Simone will continue her love for serving her community in the future.
