The U of A Honors College launched a new website today that offers clear menus & audience-specific filters to help prospective students, current students, faculty, and alums find the resources they need.

Fayetteville became the first city in the state to adopt a Firefighters Bill of Rights when the City Council approved an ordinance on Aug.
19 that sets clear steps for handling complaints and disciplinary actions to safeguard firefighter rights. City officials say the new law is meant to boost morale and help retain staff—serving as a model for other cities in the state.
Last Monday afternoon, an alert for an active shooter at the University of Arkansas sent students and staff into alarm as law enforcement quickly confirmed the alert was false; political activist Will Watson now urges local leaders to act on gun control—calling for secure gun storage to help prevent future tragedies. This call to action aims to drive changes in local policies and safety measures.
The University of Arkansas Psychology Clinic has provided low-cost, evidence-based mental health care to local residents for 50 years while turning every dollar into $7.50 worth of care.
