A note from our talented titleholder: I am sorry I cannot be with you all this evening. I am a dance major in college attending a dance conference in New York City for the next two days. As I sit here and reflect upon my year as Miss University I have so many wonderful memories. I have had the pleasure of being part of something truly special, an organization that supports and nurtures the growth of young women. I have matured so much and gained such valuable experiences over the last year that I will treasure always. Whether it was taking pictures and mingling with people at the Apple Festival, participating in Miss NH events or supporting my platform for the National Kidney Foundation I loved and learned from it all.
I would like to thank Brenda, Cindi and the whole Miss NH family for stepping in and assisting me through my first year at Miss NH. I appreciated it more than you will ever know. As my year comes to an end I would like to recognize everyone that is involved in making Miss NH the outstanding program that it is and just say THANK YOU because every single one of you makes a difference.
To the New Miss University treasure every moment it goes by faster than you can imagine. Learn, live, laugh and love it all it is truly a magical experience.
Kristen Ruggieri, Miss University 2009
