Welcome to the September 2018 Round Up of the Fulbright REVIEW Blog

While it may not feel like it yet in Fayetteville, fall has finally arrived and with it so many wonderful things we’d like to share with you.

Luckily, we’ve now got the new Fulbright REVIEW to help do just that, and to highlight some of the magical stories and people who make up our Fulbright Family.

Here at the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas, we’ve been celebrating successes, like two of our faculty members and an alumna being named Arkansas Art Council Fellows. We’re also launching a new season of lectures to help entertain as well as inform at the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History.

And, we’ve been taking part in the University of Arkansas’ month-long Celebration of Inclusion and Diversity – you can read more in our spotlight story and then become part of the next story by sharing your projects and initiatives, too.

In this round up of recent stories, you’ll also see Q&As with a couple of amazing geosciences alumni and donors, with a behind-the-scenes theatre powerhouse, with an anthropological adventurer, and with a chemistry doctoral student whose research may have major implications for Parkinson’s and other neurological disease treatment.

As a reminder, more new stories will be posted at fulbrightreview.uark.edu each week, and a monthly email round up will continue to showcase some of the most interesting features so you never miss having the inside scoop.

We hope you’ll stay tuned, enjoy and have fun with the blog, and if you have a great story idea or know someone you’d like for us to feature, please email us at fulbcomm@uark.edu or submit your own post.

Sincerely, 

Todd Shields, Dean of the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences
