Jasmine Gresham, a third-year health and physical education major in the Department of Kinesiology, is the University of Georgia’s 2020 Homecoming Queen.

After graduation, Gresham plans to take a gap year. During this time, she hopes to work as a physical therapy technician at a hospital or visit her family in Australia. She also plans to put aside time to learn Spanish.

“One UGA experience I will always remember is when I won Homecoming Queen,” she said. " I felt so humbled, privileged, grateful, and loved. Additionally, as a Black woman, I felt incredibly honored to win the first year after our College was named for Mary Frances Early, the first Black graduate of UGA. I hope that one day I can tell her that I would not have been able to get this honor without her sacrifices."

Gresham is a student ambassador in the College and a resident assistant at Myers Hall. Additionally, she is a member of UGA’s Student Alumni Council.
