Re: Alumni Share Stories from The Hill during Pride of Arkansas Tour

wilmot4159 — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:56:30 -0000

I graduated from UA in 1962 (BSBA). I had the distinction of having to drive the longest distance, within Arkansas, to Fayeteville from Wilmot (Ashley County). It was 370 miles. I was the 5th Brother in my Family to graduate from UA. Preceeding me was William L. Jr, Richard L., John S, and Donald K Fuller. My oldest Brother, Kenneth W Fuller graduated from SMU on WW2 GI Bill. Although I had already served 4 years in the US Air Force when I enrolled at UA in 1959, I did not receive the GI Bill because Congress did not renew it until after I graduated. I worked as a bartender at Rogers Recreation Center on Dickson Street, to pay for my college expenses. I graduated in 3 years, 1959-1962. Also, two of my neices, Lisa and Kim Malone of Mountain Home also graduated from UA. My Dad, William L. Fuller Sr, attended UA in 1916-17. He said it took over a week to travel, by train, from Wilmot to Fayetteville, in 1916.

Ray and I had fun at the Faulkner County Alumni event. We left that evening talking about how we knew most of the people there but did not know they were Alumni. It is neat to make another connection with great people!

I love Fayetteville and the U of A. Hard to find a place with so many different elements which come together to produce a beautiful and unique place to live. The hippies (who became farmers and academics), the business people (who still are), the students (who breathe life into what used to be a quiet college town in rural Arkansas), and the indigenous inhabitants all come together to create an atmosphere like no other...awesome place...can't wait to come back.

The site has a great look and an even better feel. It is functional, precise, non-cluttered, easy to use and most of all, it has important information easy to find. Keep up the great work!

Re: Student Alumni Board Unveils Homecoming Theme and Pairings

heathbowman — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:23:44 -0000

Currently, we partner with the Red Cross to produce the "official" Homecoming T-shirt each year, which is distributed for free to blood donors at our Annual Homecoming Blood Drive. The Red Cross pays for 100% of the production cost of the shirts in order to provide them as a perk for our donors each year, so there is currently no plan to sell the shirts through local vendors, etc. Thank you for your question!

Marilyn, I'm glad to inform you that if you join/renew online at www.arkansasalumni.org/join then you'll get renewed or activated as a new member (whichever is needed). We are working on enhanced options to allow members to renew with fewer clicks so keep a look out for those options too (or become a life member today and avoid needing to renew ever again).

It's a real bummer that members can not renew on this site.
