SAU Honors College

The SAU Honors College was founded in 2003 by Dr. David Rankin, president of SAU. Dr. Lynne Belcher served as founding director and is retired from SAU. The Honors College seeks and admits qualified students who seek to pursue a serious academic program with equally gifted peers and committed teachers. Honors classes are small and provide academically enriching opportunities for students and the faculty who teach them. Currently, SAU enrolls nearly 170 honors students and graduates about 66% of admitees in four years or less.

eBay Auction to Benefit SAU Honors College Opens

The Southern Arkansas University Honors College is holding an online auction on eBay of items donated to it for that purpose. Five items are for sale, all of them donated by local businesses and individuals. Jane Alexander of Miller's Pharmacy donated a colorful, neoprene, lady's insulated lunch tote. Jennifer's on the Square donated a Brighton and Tony Lama 36 inch lady's western style belt with Texas crystals. Dr. Chrisanne Christensen of SAU donated a Waterford crystal ice bucket and tongs. Prescott artist El Spotro (AKA Virgil "Spot" Daniel) donated two small (~6 x 7 inches) primitive paintings of the Arkansas razorback. (Painting 1 and Painting 2) Special thanks go to Deborah Wilson, also of SAU, for arranging that donation. Or you may view all 5 items at this LINK.

The items went on sale Wednesday, April 14 at 6:15 p.m and will end one week later. That way, the auction will conclude during the annual Honors College banquet. A computer will be set up at the banquet so that bidders may bid and watch the last minute action as the sales conclude during the banquet. All proceeds from the sale will go to support the work of the SAU Honors College.

Logging onto eBay and searching for "Southern Arkansas University" after clicking on eBay's "Include title and description" button should take buyers to the items. Please support the Honors College by looking at and bidding on these items.
