Former Dunwoody Resident Wins Auburn's Miss Homecoming

Wesleyan School alumna, Taylor Wesley, has won Auburn University’s Miss Homecoming 2015.

The campaign for Miss Homecoming is an opportunity for candidates to raise awareness for a cause. Wesley, a former Dunwoody resident and 2012 graduate of Wesleyan School, has been an advocate for mental wellness. When it came time to pick a platform, she created Spreading Wellness with Wesley.

Statistically, one in four students at Auburn struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and eating disorders.

Wesley says 300 students were on the student counseling waiting list this past year. Wesley is now raising money through a Go Fund Me campaign to help support these resources so more students can get the help they need.
