Advancing Management Education Giving Circle Awards First Grants
Advancing Management Education (AME), a giving circle for the College of Business, awarded its first three grants.
Four $500 scholarships for the Field Study in Mexico will be awarded for the spring 2010 trip. Faculty teaching international business courses will choose the winners based on financial need and potential success in the international business profession.
Two marketing department scholarships at $1,000 each will be awarded in March for use during the 2011 academic year. The department’s faculty will choose the winners based on scholastic achievement and potential success in the marketing profession.
Assistance for the College of Business Green Jobs Fair was also approved by AME, allocating $1,000 for the event.
Charter members of the giving circle include: Ethel Cook, Cynthia Daily, Brenda Fulkerson, Lyn Haralson, Susan Parke, Janet Roderick, Susan Rogers, Elizabeth Small, Cynthia Taylor, and Jane Wayland. AME members meet four times a year and hear speakers recognized for business knowledge and philanthropy. Once a year, members review and vote on College of Business grant opportunities and award them at an annual celebration.
The Executive Level for UALR alumni and friends of the College of Business is $1,000. The Leadership Level for recent graduates (five years) and university affiliates is $500. For more information on joining AME, contact Will Elliott at 501.569.3208 or jwelliott@ualr.edu.
