Bowling Green, Ohio - Junior Amy Smith is one of four Bowling Green State University students to have received the Frazier Reams Public Affairs Undergraduate Fellowships, one of BGSU's most prestigious scholarships.
The $7,000 fellowships are awarded to rising seniors who plan to pursue a career in public service. Smith will be one of three senior captains for next season's Falcon women's swimming team.
She finished ninth at this year's Mid-American Conference Championships in the 100 butterfly in a time of 57.93. That time is the 10th best all-time in BGSU history. Smith was also a member of the 200 free relay that finished fifth at the MAC Championships. She placed 17th in the 100 butterfly at the 2003 MAC Championships.
Smith is a social work major with a 4.00 GPA and the daughter of Dory Simon of Pinellas Park, Fla. Smith is a member of Phi Eta Sigma and Alpha Lambda Delta honor societies. She has also been involved with Active Christians Today, Student Christian Athletes, the Student Athletic Advisory Committee and, this spring, the Genesis Program at the Juvenile Justice Department of Sandusky County.
Smith plans to earn a master's degree in social work and pursue a career as an advocate for people's rights, working directly with those in need.
The Frazier Reams Public Affairs Undergraduate Fellowship Program was established in 1973 in memory of Frazier Reams Sr. and in recognition of his distinguished service to the broadcasting industry, as a member of the U.S. Congress and as a trustee of BGSU.
