Farwell native recognized in selection process

CANYON — A Farwell native was one of more than two dozen recognized as part of West Texas A&M’s Intern of the Year award selection process, according to a college release.

Kylie Scott, plant, soil and environmental science major from Justin and the student body president, was honored as the top intern Friday during a Zoom reception for her work at Corteva Agriscience's Plainview Research Center. The award is designed to honor an outstanding student who has participated in an internship and exhibited unusual skills and/or made a significant contribution to their employer.

Among the 26 other applicants was Farwell’s Mari Ferrel, who is an environmental sciences major.

Scott was awarded a $1,000 prize by Phillips 66 and will be submitted for the national Cooperative Education & Internship Association Academic Intern of the Year award.
