Outside of her academics, she has been active on campus. She is a student-athlete as a member and captain of the Hunt Seat riding team.
Cameron Kincer (Neon, Ky.), The Midway Woman Award – The Midway Woman Award is given to a graduating female undergraduate who demonstrates a profound sense of service to others and is a role model who exemplifies the core values of the University. Additionally, the recipient of the Midway Woman Award must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
