Welcome to the March 2023 Round Up of the Fulbright REVIEW Blog
When winter becomes spring and the cherry blossoms start to bloom on campus again, it’s always one of my favorite times here at the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences!
This week, as our students head out for Spring Break, it also always strikes me how hard they, our faculty and our staff have been working. We appreciate them all so much!
March is also Women’s History Month, and in this edition of the Fulbright REVIEW we’re proud to recognize and honor the extraordinary women of Fulbright College – read on to meet some of them and learn more about all the wonderful things happening at the college this month and beyond.
To kick things off, we’re excited to announce that seven of our students were selected as semi-finalists for the Fulbright U.S. Student Scholarship Program!
We’re also launching a new series spotlighting ways to connect to campus resources, communities, services, and hidden gems. This month, we explore the many resources and ways we connect with our LGBTQ+ students and campus community.
Plus, we have a new chair in Music and a new leader of the Pryor Center for you to meet, as well as a long-time faculty member who was recently inducted into the world’s largest general scientific society.
Our new Studio and Design Center is now open, this amazing Ph.D. candidate hosted an immersive virtual reality experience, and this alumna is making a name for herself as a bestselling author.
Additionally, our college is also home to an award-winning service-learning superstar, the outstanding new president of a national organization, and a phenomenal student success advocate who founded our new Professional ePortfolio courses!
In case you missed it, we’ve also included a roundup of our recent Black History Month highlights, a look back at a Lunar New Year celebration, and a peek into The CORD.
You can also meet a student who created a new typography font, a senior passionate about serving the community, an alumna who is headed back to the Honors College, and a researcher whose work is literally out of this world.
Then, get to know a doctoral student who has some social media news to share, a physicist whose work has attracted more than $7 million in external funding, and two professors whose new book on parenting is a game-changer!
Afterward, help congratulate two winners of national teaching and communication awards, a faculty member whose debut album is an award-winner, and a professor featured in a prestigious national jazz concert.
Finally, if you’d like to learn more about the extraordinary people, initiatives, projects and activities that make up Fulbright College, please visit our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. Our handle is @uarkfulbright on all three.
And, as always, we’ll keep providing you with more new stories at fulbrightreview.uark.edu. We hope you’ll stay tuned.
In the meantime, please keep in touch, take care and be well!
Sincerely,
Kathryn Sloan
Interim Dean, Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences
