In addition to her contributions on the court, Micah has been involved in several community service activities. She worked with causes such as NORD Women in Sports Day, Read Across America and Hogs for the Cause.

"She was eager to get started in her first summer on campus and carried that momentum into the Fall semester. She has a confident presence and a relentlessly positive attitude that makes her perfect for the Student-Athlete Leadership Forum. We are extremely proud of her as a department and look forward to her returning to campus after experiencing this transformational opportunity.
In her first season with the Privateers, Hall was a part of a squad that engineered a 14-win turnaround from last season and ranked 13
