UOG Student Government Association Crowns Inaugural Miss UOG Pageant Winner
The University of Guam Student Government Association made history with the successful debut of its first-ever Miss UOG Pageant, held at the UOG Center Courtyard during Blue Night on March 7, 2025. The highly anticipated event showcased the intelligence, talent, and leadership of UOG’s brightest women, culminating in the crowning of Ashley Topasña as the inaugural Miss UOG.
Topasña, a graduating senior majoring in business administration, emerged victorious among six contestants when she captivated the audience and judges with her grace, confidence, and inspiring vision for the future.
"Being crowned as the first Miss UOG means the absolute world to me, as I am now an ambassador for an extraordinary community that I’ve dedicated years of commitment to,” said Ashley Topasña, Miss UOG 2025. “I look forward to representing UOG in such a unique way and being a voice for my fellow Tritons."
The pageant also crowned UOG alumna, Kennysha Sablan as the 1st Runner Up and recipient of the People’s Choice title, and recognized Paradis Fejerang, a graduating senior majoring in communication, for winning Best in National Costume.
As the newly crowned Miss UOG, Topasña will receive a cash prize of $400 and will serve as an ambassador for the university, participating in university and community outreach events throughout the year.
“As Miss UOG, I would represent the university with integrity, inclusivity, and resilience, ensuring that every student feels heard, valued, and empowered. In today’s social and political climate, it is essential to foster unity while embracing diversity,” said Ashley Topasña, Miss UOG 2025. “I would use my platform to advocate for important issues such as education accessibility, cultural pride, and student well-being. By promoting open dialogue, community engagement, and positive change, I would strive to be a role model who embodies the Triton spirit—strong, compassionate, and forward-thinking.”
The Miss UOG Pageant was created to empower the women of UOG by providing a space to develop leadership, public speaking, and personal growth while celebrating the diversity and culture present on the University of Guam campus.
