We HEART Our Faculty Awards
In 2020, the Student Government Association (SGA) created a new award to show appreciation for faculty members who have positively influenced the lives of students.
The SGA Faculty Appreciation Awards, also called the We HEART Our Faculty awards, are presented to one faculty member in each of the university’s colleges. The award is a one-of-a-kind, handmade glass heart created by Pine Bluff glass artist James Hayes in the colors of UA Little Rock. The glass hearts symbolize positive, influential support that makes a real difference in the lives of students. As students enter the university to pursue their education, faculty often play a nurturing role, guiding students through the learning process and working hard to foster an environment that best ensures success.
Additionally, the Graduate Student Association and the Law School’s Student Government Association selected faculty to be awarded.
