Since our founding almost 100 years ago, UA Little Rock has met the demand for affordable and accessible higher education in central Arkansas. As we prepare to enter our Centennial Campaign for UA Little Rock, we continue to play an integral role in the destiny of Arkansas by fueling economic growth and adding value to the lives of those we touch.

I am honored to support the UA Little Rock Centennial Campaign to help further support our students. The scholarships and student support this campaign will provide will support many students in our state and provide them with the opportunity to pursue a university education.

I support UA Little Rock because of the University’s extreme importance to our community and our State. I firmly believe a strong UA Little Rock lifts up our entire State, gives us a source of great pride. UA Little Rock provides excellent educational opportunities to many students who otherwise would not be able to obtain a degree. These are teachers, scientists, nurses and business leaders who will be the core of our future economy. If we don’t build Arkansas, who will?
