University officials say she demonstrated leadership, scholarship and service throughout her time at the University of Mississippi and served in numerous roles, including President of the Jackson Free Clinic Health Ambassadors, co-founder and Philanthropy Director of SPAID Ole Miss, treasurer for the Public Relations Student Society of America, outreach chair for the Clinical Experience Network and research assistant in public health. Her campus involvement includes the Stamps Scholarship, Honors College, Ole Miss Ambassadors, Panhellenic recruitment leadership. Kappa Delta membership, and tutoring and mentorship roles.

Amis contributed more than two hundred service hours and is a published co-author in multiple peer-review journals. She has earned honors including the Chancellor’s Leadership Award, Dean’s Award and membership in Phi Kappa Phi and Order of Omega. She says she hopes to be remembered for her commitment to service, her compassion for others and her dedication to improving community health and student wellbeing.
