Welcome to the September 2022 Round Up of the Fulbright REVIEW Blog

There’s nothing quite like fall in Fayetteville – it’s just magical! And it’s shaping up to be another fantastic one here in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.

So far, it’s been filled with stellar research breakthroughs, exciting event happenings, awesome student achievements, and so much more that we’re excited to share with you in the September Fulbright REVIEW.

To kick things off, meet the outstanding team that received $1.25 million to support science, technology, engineering, art and math education, as well as our incredible 2022-23 Razorback Marching Band drum majors!

You can also get to know our phenomenal associate deans, meet the amazing new director of Middle East Studies, and learn how this team created a new palm-sized, low-cost COVID detection system.

Then, help us congratulate this up-and-coming “40 under 40” alumna, this faculty member named an inaugural democracy fellow, and this beloved chemistry instructor who was recognized for her excellence in teaching!

Next, learn how our University of Arkansas Museum collections are more accessible than ever, how we’re helping to foster better school transitions for military-connected students, and how we’re improving national urban resilience.

You can also check out our exciting events celebrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Month and National Hispanic Heritage Month, and meet 31 exceptional freshmen who recently joined the honors Path Program for students from underrepresented populations.

Then, meet this student and this recent graduate who both won Arkansas Arts Council awards, this professor named associate director of International and Global Studies, and this professor whose book on immigrant Jewish artists and Parisian modernism recently debuted.

Next, check out these workshops we hosted for K-12 educators, see how our researchers are working to prevent the prevalence of fish die-offs, and help us congratulate this faculty member who served Faculty Senate for over 20 years.

Afterward, make plans to enjoy Theatre’s 2022-23 live season featuring six thought-provoking plays, and the Faulkner Center’s 2022-23 concert season, which is back in person and stronger than ever!

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.
