Alesha Jones, junior communications major, was voted People's Choice Leadership award winner out of eleven candidates on the ballot. Her award was announced at the Student Leadership award banquet April 13.
This is the second major award Jones has won this semester. She was named Homecoming queen this past February.
Jones said that the competition was "good" and that "she always wanted to win a People's Choice award." Jones was nominated by an anonymous individual to be on the ballot.
A North Augusta native, Jones said the award was not a surprise because "I'm genuinely a nice, kindhearted person. I love helping people and I do it from the heart."
Jones added that she takes leadership qualities from others she admires and creates her own unique leadership style.
Since winning both awards, her peers and professors have come up to her and told her they felt the awards were deserved. Jones said they feel she is a person of great character.
"[Alesha] is an all-around type of gal. She just doesn't talk to one group of people. She's outgoing," said Vanessa Capers an acquaintance of Jones.
