Megan Abrams

A graduate student from Lafayette, La., majoring in business administration. She is also a member of the Alabama women’s basketball team.

From her Statement of Intent on the UA homecoming website: “I believe that diverse representation in a positive, influential role such as Homecoming Queen is crucial. As an athlete and black woman, I would be honored to provide representation that may inspire students like me to take on similar leadership roles. I have loved every moment that I have attended this university, and it hurts to say that I only have a few months left as a student. With the time that I have left, I want to continue making meaningful impacts on the community that provided me with the love and support that I needed to be where I am today.”

From her Statement of Intent: “This institution encourages its students to achieve great feats academically, personally, and philanthropically through its programs to further education, advocacy of inclusive groups and clubs on campus, and effort to make this campus a home to all who come here. I have always admired the opportunities the university has offered to help students achieve their goals and pursue their own personal interests. As a member of many organizations on campus, I intend to highlight the numerous opportunities that The University of Alabama provides for all students with diverse backgrounds and interests to get involved and grow in their scholarship, service, and leadership.”

Olivia Burleson

A junior from Winfield majoring in elementary education.

From her Statement of Intent: “I could use this platform to spread awareness of Invisible Disabilities in young children and adults. This is extremely important in today’s educational system. I want to use this opportunity to utilize my voice and advocate for those individuals who are silently struggling. My passion for children has led me to pursue this position so that I can share my vision. If I were to serve as the 2022 UA Homecoming Queen, I would travel to local schools and speak on those students’ behalf.”

From her Statement of Intent: “Through service opportunities here at UA, I have learned to be intentional in all that I do, ensuring that each role I take on is well suited to my strengths and that my efforts will result in an impact. Leadership opportunities granted to me in the last three years have encouraged responsibility and connection with mentees and other leaders across campus. The diverse perspectives and students that I have worked alongside have made my empathy more robust and well-suited to work with others.”

Bayley St. Clair

I believe Homecoming is to recognize the familial bond we all share through this University we call home. Understanding this aspect of our community makes me proud to be a part of a legendary campus with extremally talented and passionate individuals.”
