LCCC Alumna Crowned Miss Pennsylvania 2025Shavertown Native Victoria Vespico to Compete for Miss America

Luzerne County Community College is beaming with pride as one of its own, Victoria Vespico, has captured one of the most prestigious titles in the state--Miss Pennsylvania 2025.*

A native of Shavertown, Vespico graduated from LCCC in 2019 with a General Education degree and was a proud member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society during her time at the college. This past weekend, the 25-year-old stood out among a highly competitive field to claim the crown, impressing judges with her dynamic tap dancing and passionate advocacy for environmental sustainability.

Vespico is the founder of Sustainability Starts With You, a grassroots initiative that provides everyday strategies for individuals to reduce their environmental footprint. Her platform has drawn widespread praise for its practical, empowering message: that change starts at the personal level.

With her Miss Pennsylvania title comes a $12,000 scholarship and the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to represent Pennsylvania at the Miss America competition, which will take place in September in Orlando, Florida.

As she prepares to take the national stage, Vespico says she's proud of where she comes from.

From the classrooms of Luzerne County Community College to the bright lights of a national spotlight, Victoria Vespico continues to inspire. The entire LCCC community congratulates her and will be cheering her on this fall!
