You never know how far a little boost might take someone. Seven UA System students were awarded mini-grants honoring former @ClintonSchool Dean Rutherford. One of the neatest programs we get to be a part of each year. READ MORE: uasys.edu/news/student-grant…

For hard-working students, sometimes a little boost might be enough to change a life. It's the time again when students can apply for a boost through an endowment honoring former @ClintonSchool Dean Emeritus @JLRIII - truly a unique opportunity! MORE: uasys.edu/news/applications-…

For the January 19, 1987 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday @KATVNews produced a 30 minute documentary "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in Arkansas" narrated by Debra Mathis. It's now a valuable Arkansas historical archive @PryorCenter & has been shown in years past at @ClintonSchool

The @UofA_System finally observed the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday in 1999--13 years after it was first observed in 1986 Then @UArkansas student government president @warwicksabin was instrumental in making that happen. @MikeWickline @ademillo @ArkTimes @ArkansasBlog
