<p>Photos submitted</p> <p>Emily Noe, a junior at Harlan County High School, is the recipient of the University of Kentucky Book Award. The book award is presented to honor a top junior who has demonstrated strong academic achievement, leadership skills, and potential for success. The book presented is entitled “A New History of Kentucky” by James C. Klotter and Craig Thompson Friend. The book looks at all regions of the Commonwealth to explore its special meaning to those who have called it home. It is a broadly interpretive, all-encompassing narrative that tells Kentucky’s complex, extensive, and ever-changing story. Presenting the award on behalf of the University of Kentucky Alumni Association’s Cumberland Valley East Chapter President Sheila Key was Jeff Phillips, an alumnus of the university and CVE chapter member. Phillips said, “UK is not only home to powerhouse basketball, football, baseball, soccer and gymnastics to name a few, but also is nationally ranked in more than 70 academic programs. Our professors – often with the help of undergraduate and graduate students – are conducting groundbreaking research in science and health care, cancer, diabetes and other diseases. The work and research done at the University of Kentucky is helping people enjoy a healthier lifestyle, promoting education at all levels and bolstering the economy of the state. Noe is the daughter of Orlando and Darlene Noe, of Cawood.</p>
