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.

Walmart $1000 Grant


Above is a picture of the (symbolic) check the Honors College received today as a grant from the local Walmart Store. The real check has been deposited with the SAU Foundation and will be available for use soon. The Honors College will use the money to purchase A/V equipment for the Honors Office for recruitment and for student use.

Our special thanks go out to Christy Melton, Personnel Director and to Drew Schaeffer, Store Manager for their generosity.

Be sure and check out the renovated Walmart. One way to measure how well any small town is prospering is to count the old Walmarts. Magnolia is on its third Walmart and now that one has been renovated, so that should also count for something.
