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. Anyone interested in applying to the Honors College or seeking further information should contact the director, Dr. Edward P. Kardas at epkardas@saumag.edu or at 870 904-8897.

Bed Race 2010



The Honors Hall Bed before the race. Kendall Thomas (on left) puts on her beanie while Ben Bower and Stephanie Dawson discuss strategy. The bed won a prize for "Most Original."


The Annual SAU Bed Race was held today and the Honors College competed successfully before bowing out near the end. The Bed Race team consisted of rider Courtney Van Camp and pushers Augustus West, Ben Bower, Kendall Thomas, and Stephanie Dawson.


Propeller-headed team poses prior to competing. Front Row (L to R): Stephanie Dawson and Kendall Thomas, Back Row: Ben Bower, Courtney Van Camp, and Augustus West.

The Honors Team won several heats before being bested. They won the heat shown below when the opposing bed encroached on their lane and was disqualified.



Below is a shot of the last heat. The other bed had already cleared the frame of the shot. Next year we might hide a motor in the bed.


Of course, the bravest (foolhardiest?) member of the team was rider Courney Van Camp. Below, she poses before the race. I'm happy to report that she is still safe and sound and all in one piece.
