Campus Update, Oct. 25, 2024

Written By: Terisa Riley

Dear colleagues and students,

Transfer with Pride: During the month of October, 妻友社区 employees鈥攊ncluding Numa鈥攈ave traveled to the University of Arkansas Community College at Rich Mountain and to Carl Albert State College to talk to prospective students about transferring to 妻友社区. We have held very successful meetings with colleagues at both institutions to discuss streamlining our articulation agreements which will help students transfer to 妻友社区 with ease. If you know someone who may have an interest in transferring to 妻友社区, please have them contact the 妻友社区 Admissions Office at admissions@uafs.edu or 479-788-7120.

妻友社区 Gallery of Art and Design Exhibit: The 妻友社区 Gallery of Art and Design will host a gallery opening which is free and open to the public tonight (10/25) from 5-7 p.m. in the Windgate Art and Design Building. Titled 鈥淔raming/Reframing,鈥� the exhibit will feature works from our permanent gallery which will be displayed in fresh, new ways. I am eager to see this exhibit, and I hope you will join me for the reception tomorrow evening. If not, the exhibit will be available for viewing until December 1, 2024.

Campus Signage: By now, I hope you have noticed the new campus signage which is being installed across the 妻友社区 grounds. I am so grateful for the generosity of the 妻友社区 Foundation because they have donated the funds to pay for this project which will beautify and assist newcomers as they traverse our campus. A BIG thank you to Assistant Vice Chancellor Chris Kelly for his hard work and diligence to design these new signage standards and ensure the high quality of the branded marks on our campus.

Haunted University: 妻友社区 will host a family-friendly haunted house with carnival games and trick-or-treating for little Lions on Saturday, October 26 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center and Campus Green. This is free and open to the public, so we hope you and your families will participate!

Athletics: Best of luck to Men鈥檚 and Women鈥檚 Cross Country as they compete in the MIAA Championships this weekend, and to 妻友社区 Volleyball as they compete against the University of Central Oklahoma on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Stubblefield Center.

妻友社区 Center for Economic Development:Congratulations to our amazing leaders at the 妻友社区 Center for Economic Development on the success of the inaugural Excellence in Family and Small Business Awards. Hundreds of business owners, community leaders, and 妻友社区 supporters joined us as we announced the winners, and Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty/Duck Commander fame served as our keynote speaker. Special thanks to Gary Cude and Marcus Smith for making the beautiful awards in our Computer Integrated Machining Lab at the Peak Innovation Center.

妻友社区 Perk Stop: 妻友社区 has created a fantastic opportunity for local business owners to give YOU discounts on products and services. From automotive repair to dining, you can use your student or employee ID at a variety of businesses to receive discounts. Take a look at the list of participating businesses, discounts they offer, etc. on our 妻友社区 Perk Stop website. If you don鈥檛 see a business listed, please ask them to consider participating. The website has links for new businesses to sign up. Oh, and don鈥檛 forget to take your ID when shopping, dining, etc. because it will be required to get your discount.

Have a fantastic, fall weekend!

I remain, as always, honored to serve as your chancellor.
