FEBRUARY 16: It is #TopDawgTuesday and we are excited to celebrate UGA Black History with everyone. Our 16th day of exceptional students, staff and alumni continues with Christina Swoope (BS '11). From 2007-2009, she had the great distinction of being the #FIRST African American female drum major for our Redcoats Marching Band in its' 107 year history. To top that, she made history again with Darryl Tricksey (BSEH '10) when they were crowned the FIRST Black Homecoming Queen and King pair in 2009! (We are happy that Mary Frances Early was on hand to witness that in person) 
Christina didn't stop there with accomplishing great things. During her time as a student she served as Vice President of the Student Alumni Council, was a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, Abeneefoo Kuo, Palladia, Blue Key, AND UGA Sphinx! This Microbiology major sure was busy! 
After UGA, she earned a MPH from Johns Hopkins and currently works as a Medicare Program Examiner in the Office of the President... OF THE UNITED STATES! 
Christina, you truly are a top dawg and we salute and celebrate the history you have made and know that you are well on your way to accomplishing so much more!
