Thanks for the comments, Jamie. The changes to SAA have also allowed us to form new collaborations with other campus offices such as the Center for Leadership and Community Engagement (CLCE) and their Volunteer Action Center. We recently posted a volunteer opportunity through their online system and in just a few days it has been viewed by over 400 students. I would venture to guess that some of those students were introduced to the SAA and the AAA for the first time just from viewing that one volunteer opportunity (which also helps us to meet our goal of educating about the AAA).

Robert, my apologies as that is not actually a real football to my knowledge. That is just a graphic that we are using to promote the 2010 RazorRock events. You can find an official Arkansas Razorback Full-Size Game Time Football online at http://arkansas.teamfanshop.com/COLLEGE_Arkansas_Razorbacks/Arkansas_Razorbacks_Full-Size_Game_Time_Football

Again, you have my sincere apologies for any confusion.

Wow! Interesting change, but I love the reasoning behind the restructuring. I hope it works out and that it gets even more students involved with SAA and SAB. SAB was such an important part of my college career. It allowed me to develop great friendships, polish important leadership skills, and expand my love for the University of Arkansas. I hope it will continue to do the same for all its participants for many years to come!

This coffee tastes delicious! I can't believe how great fresh roasted coffee tastes. I didn't know what I was missing, and it isn't costing me any more to support the the razorbacks!

If we beat Alabama at home, we run the table and go all the way to the BCS Championship!! 6 straight years of SEC National Champs with 5 different teams!!!

Re: Arkansas Alumni Joins Razorback Habitotes Program

Nancy '94 and '99 alum — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:51:09 -0000

I'd like some, but won't be at the game since I'm running a 1/2 marathon. Please think about allowing them to be ordered.

Can't imagine anyone more deserving than Jessica! Jessica has given so much to the University it is wonderful that this great University is giving back to her.

I'm predicting a 11-1 season. I think South Carolina and Georgia will make it close but the Hogs will prevail in the last minutes. Our only loss will come from Alabama in overtime. Auburn might be resurgent but the Hogs offense will simply outgun them. I'm very confident that this year's Hogs will put a hurtin' on Nutt's Rebels. An 11-1 season puts the Hogs up for some serious contention as BCS champs. I honestly can't imagine us there but it will be sweet beyond measure when we arrive.

SEC Champs & 2010 National football champs all the way!!!!!!!

Re: Share Your Razorback Predictions

Arbill — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 03:42:10 -0000

My prediction is Arkansas will go 8-3 during the regular season. I hope we can go 9-2, but it will be hard to do that. I believe there will be one OT game, and we should win it. Our QB will be outstanding, but the SEC will be looking for another leader to win the National Championship. I hope we can produce the team.

While in attendance at the University of Arkansas, Professor Gerald Jordan became an inspiration to me. While studying print journalism, I learned a plethora of information from him and how to go about "getting the story." Aside from a teacher that I had in high school, no other professor has influenced me like Professor Jordan. His positive nature and attitude towards helping students grow in their writing and social skills helped me to pursue my journalism interests. Although I received an M.A. in History, I cannot help but return back to my roots in journalism. Never have I ever met a professor so dedicated to the profession and the students who desire a career in this industry. I give my deepest thanks to Professor Gerald Jordan for being such a positive influence in my life.

I knew Dr. Rapert when she was an undergrad and she was one of my favorite friends . She was a really good cook. Just one of the sweetest people that anyone could ever know.

Anne Vizzier, PhD, Professor of History. Dr. Vizzier was the first woman professor I had when I came to the University way back in 1958. She was a role model for women students in those days: brilliant, a gifted teacher, and an example of integrity and conscience. In those days, she showed that a woman could have a family and a career.

Dr. James Chase of the Department of History. He encouraged me to pursue excellence in my studies always. But what I remember most is an exchange I had with him in a grocery store. Money was always a struggle, and I earned extra income by pulling a shift in the deli at the Food4Less. He saw me in there slicing meat and thawing shrimp one night and was appalled. He offered to loan me money on the spot because he thought I should be devoting myself to my studies. I never took him up on this generous offer, but I always remembered the gesture. What a scholar and what a gentleman!

As a struggling student in the late 60's, Dr. Rodney Ryan encouraged me to complete my degree. Since I was a PE major I was assigned to more than one of his classes. He always had a smile and words of encouragement. He seemed to take a personal interest in his students. Through the years, I have seen Dr. Ryan at several "A" Club and UofA Athletic events. This past fall I had the opportunity to see him and thank him again for his support of me as a student. I told him I had retired after teaching Health Education for 35 years. The smile was still there!

In graduate school, Dr. Parker, now deceased was truly my inspiration. Three times I was ready to quit, however, he kept telling me not to let "them" get to me. Ironically, the other teacher I most remember was my fifth grade teacher who also was a Mrs. Parker, no relationship to Dr. Parker.
