The following message just arrived from Rick Scott, Dean of the Honors College at the University of Central Arkansas.

"I am writing to alert you that information has been posted on the SRHC website about the 2011 conference. It will be the 39^th Annual Conference of the SRHC, and it will take place from March 31-April 2, 2011, at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The conference theme is "Bridging Scholarship and Citizenship: Making Honors Count." Little Rock is a city of bridges, and bridges make beautiful metaphors that help us speak about ways we connect and carry ourselves. Reflecting on bridges calls to mind a feature central to honors education—bridging scholarly work and civic engagement. Our keynote speaker, Skip Rutherford, Dean of the Clinton School of Public Service will address the conference theme.

The Clinton Presidential Library will be the site of our gala on Friday evening, complete with food, drink and tours. Following the gala the River Market Entertainment District is at your doorstep with a lively nighttime scene.

Block room rates will be available March 30 through April 2, with singles and doubles priced at $129 a night and triples and quads priced at $139. A call for proposals will go out in November with a submission date at the end of January.

Looking forward to having you visit our locale next spring,"

Of course, SAU Honors College will be there with bells on. Make your plans now and get your submissions ready.
