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.

Vaughn, Tia: President


I thought a lot about what I would do if I were the president of SAU and for a while I couldn’t come up with anything but I eventually I did.  If I were the president of SAU I would improve Family Day by adding some more activities for families to enjoy.  I would have more activities like UCA’s Family Day with more carnival-type activities like a caricaturist, small carnival rides, and face painting.  By adding these activities families would have more things to do and more ways to have fun.  If I were the president of SAU I would also add more parking lots for students because it is a pain trying to find a place to park on campus.  The parking issue could also be resolved to some extent by insisting that the building equipment being used in the new construction sites be moved out of the parking spots and up against fences to open the now unusable parking places around the construction sites.   I would also put an oven in the Honors Hall for the students who live there to use and I would also find a good place to put the Honors College office.  It would be conveniently located so honors students could go there easily if they had questions.  Finally if I were president of SAU I would find some way for Magnolia to be more interesting to college students. Not only would this give students more things to do in their free time but they wouldn’t have to drive a long way to have fun; they could just stay in Magnolia and not risk the possibility of getting into a car accident.  Also if Magnolia was more interesting, getting students to stay at SAU until they graduated would be easier and recruiting new students would also be easier if Magnolia had more for students to do.
