From the soccer field to the research lab and from the locker room to the classroom, Annah Hopkins has made the most of her WKU experience.
“Balancing biology with a pre-med concentration and soccer was not short of its challenges,” said Hopkins, a biology major and member of the WKU Soccer team from Evansville, Indiana. “With an organized planner, hard work and determination, I excelled in my 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. days that included weights, classes, job shadowing, volunteering, practice, homework, studying, and more. With the utmost organization and dedication to being the best version of myself, I managed to maintain my 4.0 and excel on the field.”
Hopkins will be recognized as the fall 2023 Ogden Foundation Scholar at College Recognition Ceremonies on December 8, capping a journey that began with a visit to WKU as a high school freshman.
“I immediately fell in love with campus,” she said. “It felt home to me. The people here were awesome and very welcoming. The coaching staff and teammates were very welcoming.”
