Staff Achievement Awards are presented to three staff members who have excelled in community service, service to UALR, and personal growth. Each award carries an honorarium of $1,000 (before taxes).
The ceremony will be on Wednesday, April 13th at 10:30 a.m. in Ledbetter Rooms A, B, and C. Our speaker this year will be Dr. Trakenya Dobbins, director of the Academic Success Center. Reception will follow.
