A New Reason to Smile: Welcome, Enlightened Expressions!

Miss Collegiate USA is excited to welcome Enlightened Expressions Teeth Whitening Spa as a national sponsor and our official smile-care vendor!

This new partnership reflects our shared commitment to helping collegiate women present themselves with confidence as they pursue their educational, professional, and leadership goals. Our delegates are not only preparing for the national stage but also building professional identities, representing their communities, expanding their networks, and stepping into new opportunities.

Through this collaboration, Enlightened Expressions will serve as a professional confidence resource, supporting delegates as they prepare for interviews, networking opportunities, professional photography, media appearances, presentations, and other public-facing experiences.

We are thrilled to welcome Enlightened Expressions to the Miss Collegiate USA family and look forward to sharing more about the products, services, and opportunities this partnership will provide to our delegates.

Because a confident smile can be part of a journey that is truly More Than A Crown.

Unboxing the Next Chapter: Meet the 2027 Miss Collegiate USA Emerald Box

There is a moment when becoming a Miss Collegiate USA titleholder begins to feel real.

For some, it happens when they see their new title beside their name for the first time. For others, it is introducing themselves as a state or regional representative. And then there is the moment a very special package arrives at the door.

Official unveiling of the 2027 Miss Collegiate USA® Emerald Box

More Than a Box

The Emerald Box is designed around the same philosophy that guides the Miss Collegiate USA experience: More Than a Crown.

Its rich emerald color, gold details, magnolia accents, and New York-inspired design represent a new chapter for our organization and for every contestant who chooses to take this journey with us.

But what arrives inside represents something even bigger.

A Miss Collegiate USA title is an invitation to grow through Scholarship, Sisterhood, Leadership, Confidence and Legacy. The crown and sash may introduce you as a titleholder, but what you accomplish during your year tells the rest of your story.

That is why every detail of this year's box was designed to feel intentional from the moment it arrives to the moment it opens.

The road to New York begins with one application.

Miss Collegiate USA Announces New Impact Partnership with Aunt Flow to Advance Period Equity and Community Service

Miss Collegiate USA is proud to announce its newest Impact Partnership with Aunt Flow. Aunt Flow, a certified WBENC women-owned period care company that makes freely accessible period products the standard in schools, workplaces, and public venues across North America and the UK.

This partnership represents a shared commitment to empowering women, removing barriers, and creating healthier communities through education, advocacy, and service.

As part of this collaboration, which runs through the 2027 pageant cycle, Miss Collegiate USA will incorporate Aunt Flow into its annual Philanthropy Day during National Pageant Week, where contestants from across the country participate in a Period Party—assembling menstrual care kits that will be donated to individuals and organizations in need. Aunt Flow will provide organic cotton period products and packing materials to support the distribution efforts. The initiative reflects the organization's More Than a Crown campaign, which challenges titleholders to use their platforms to create meaningful impact far beyond the stage.

"Our mission has always been about developing confident, compassionate leaders who leave a lasting legacy," said Dr. Keia Brown, Founder of Miss Collegiate USA. "Partnering with Aunt Flow allows our delegates to turn service into action while addressing an important issue that affects millions of women and girls every day. This partnership perfectly reflects what More Than a Crown truly means."

"Period products are a basic need, but they're still treated as an optional amenity in most of the buildings where people spend their days. Miss Collegiate USA's delegates represent campuses across the country, and they're in a position to change that. This partnership isn't only about the products we put in their hands during Pageant Week. It's about what those students go home and ask for." - Aunt Flow

The partnership reinforces Miss Collegiate USA's five organizational pillars, Scholarship, Sisterhood, Leadership, Confidence, and Legacy while providing contestants with opportunities to engage in meaningful community service throughout their year of service.

Through collaborative initiatives, educational outreach, and volunteer opportunities, Miss Collegiate USA and Aunt Flow are working together to ensure that dignity, opportunity, and access remain available for every woman and girl.

"At Miss Collegiate USA, we believe a crown represents more than achievement, it represents responsibility," Brown added. "Together with Aunt Flow, we're creating opportunities for our titleholders to lead with compassion and make a tangible difference in the lives of others."
