Welcome to the February 2021 Round Up of the Fulbright REVIEW Blog

While the weather here in Fayetteville may be extra chilly right now, it’s still a fantastic February to celebrate student, faculty and alumni success, share wonderful research breakthroughs, explore new creative endeavors, and so much more!

Get the inside scoop on all things Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences right here in the Fulbright REVIEW.

February is also Black History Month and we are so proud to feature some amazing stories highlighting how our Fulbright College Family is recognizing and honoring the multitude of achievements of African Americans!

To kick things off, we hope you’ll check out our outstanding and entertaining virtual and in-person events to celebrate Black History Month 2021, and the Inspirational Chorale’s moving performance of “I Dream”!

Then, watch this awesome new short film about African American U.S. Deputy Marshal and Arkansas legend Bass Reeves, take a listen to this podcast on exciting new developments in harvesting energy, and learn about the new Language and Culture Series launching this spring.

Afterward, help us congratulate a faculty member selected as a 2021 Emerging Scholar by Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, and meet a triple major studying criminology, psychology and sociology, who hopes to pursue a future career with the F.B.I.!

You can also see how our interdisciplinary Data Science program is helping Arkansas schools prepare scholars for careers in this rapidly growing field, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the KATV archives with the Pryor Center and KUAF on March 3.

Be sure to check out this alumna’s first look at Randall “Duke” Cunningham’s life after prison in her exclusive documentary, then help welcome our new Brown Chair in English Literacy, and congratulate this third-year M.F.A. student who was awarded a prestigious research and writing grant!

And, if you’re able to, submit your favorite U of A artifact to be part of the University of Arkansas Museum’s upcoming Bring Your Own Artifact: Razorback Spirit online exhibition!
