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.

Money Matters

So, there have been two financial matters which all of us should be thinking about off and on, the first of which regards our $300 budget. It's ours, and even if we decide to save it, or at least keep it on hold for a while, that decision still needs to be made. Perhaps we can get some ideas in writing and have a class vote in the near future?

Secondly, we have the opportunity to apply for several thousand dollars' worth of grants from State Farm. The project possibilities are endless, and have very few requirements. It seems like we can do anything relating to public service (i.e., anything that serves to better our community on a moderate to large scale). It could be campus-wide only, involve the city of Magnolia, or even spread across the state or further. Feel free to blog out your ideas. We need input!
