Dr. Mario Norman, associate professor of
Psychology, was named the Faculty
Member of the Year, having been awarded
this honor all three years at this event.
The electorate – in this case, the Clayton

ken, and Wale Adeshigbin and Jasmine

and Queen.
The King and Queen were crowned dur-
ing halftime of last Saturday’s men’s bas-

Montevallo. Adeshigbin is a senior nurs-
ing major from Brooklyn, N.Y., with a
special interest in giving back to the com-
munity. Fuller is a senior psychology
major from Riverdale, whose interests
include acting, dancing, and gymnastics.
Having been voted to this honor during
Homecoming Week by the student body,
they will serve as King and Queen until
Homecoming 2014.

kicked-off
Homecoming Week 2013 with a sec-
ond time event, Clayton State Idol.
Clayton State Idol was held on
Monday, Feb. 4, in the Student
Activities Center Ballroom. The event
featured the vocal talents of several
Clayton State University students.
Seven semi-finalists advanced from the
audition call held on Thursday, Jan. 17
and Friday, Jan. 18: Tamara Austin,
dual-enrollment; Trebony Dillard, jun-
ior psychology major; Brett Gosa,
freshman undeclared major; Torrance
Hill, freshman mathematics major;
Bryson Manzy, sophomore music edu-
cation major; Angelo Mirville, junior
business major; and Raven Rabia,
sophomore English major. Vocal coach,
Brandon Cash, chorus director of
Mount Zion High School worked with
each of the semi-finalist throughout the
process.
These seven talented students opened
the event with a group selection of
Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On?”
The crowd was amazed and the judges
had an arduous task for the remainder
of the event. The judges for the evening
were Ciara Edge, Clayton State alumni
and choral and drama director at
Hampton Middle School, Candace
Henry, Clayton State alumni, academic
advisor at Georgia State University,
and Jerryal Pettigrew, academic advi-
sor in the First Year Advising &
Retention Center.
“The elimination was tough and we
had to make a hard decision”, says
Henry.
There were approximately 250 students
and guests in attendance for the
evening event. Program hosts, Joseph
Echols, Admissions recruiter, and
Jessica Horton, Clayton State alumni,
kept the crowd entertained throughout
the night. Audience members were
wowed by renditions of Adele’s
“Rolling In the Deep” and “Somebody
