Paul McLendon Visits Honors Seminar

Paul McLendon, SAU's new Vice President for Finance, visited the Honors Seminar on November 30. He talked about his career. He began as an auditor for the state of Arkansas and later worked at SAU for nine years. After, he moved to the University of Central Arkansas. He returned to SAU this year to replace Darrell Morrison.

McLendon went over the SAU budget and discussed how state contributions to the full budget amount have been steadily dropping over the last 10 years. He also showed where SAU income came from and where it was spent.

The Honors Seminar is designed to acquaint students with all aspects of the college experience. Where the money comes from and how it is spent is a key aspect.
