CORVALLIS, Ore. - An Oregon State University senior from Ione has earned a Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics LeRoy Breithaupt Award.

The honor recognizes Cameron Krebs' outstanding academic performance and community service. The award was established in memory of OSU Professor LeRoy Breithaupt.

While at OSU, Krebs has served as noble ruler and philanthropy chair for Alpha Gamma Rho, a national agricultural and natural resources fraternity. He has also been a member of OSU's Young Cattlemen's Association and has been vice president for public relations and executive secretary of OSU's Interfraternity Council, as well as served as an OSU College of Agricultural Sciences senator.
