About Us
 | Robert Young Chairman of the Board of Arkansas Best Corporation The obvious reason to support UA Fort Smith is the opportunities it provides our young people (and some not so young people) to receive a first-class education. A less obvious reason to support our university is the short- and long-term economic impact it has on our community. |
 | Don Flanders Chairman of Flanders Industries I support UA Fort Smith because it provides a college-level education for thousands of students from Fort Smith and the surrounding communities. It also makes Fort Smith a better place to live. |
 | Marianne Lane-Thompson Owner of Lane Land Company No other institution in Fort Smith can so singularly advance and enrich every aspect of our lives, now and in the future. |
 | Bill Hanna President of Hanna Gas & Oil Company I lived in another country for several years and was unable to vote. As a result, I felt I couldn't do anything about making where I lived better. I knew that if I ever moved back to this area I wanted to be involved with what was going on around me. UA Fort Smith is a great way to be involved. It represents the future of our community in many ways. The people who come through the university will hopefully find employment opportunities here and build their lives and busineses here. I am proud of my association with UA Fort Smith. |
 | Janice Powell Partner, Hobbs & Curry LFP I support the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith's mission to positively change lives through education, training, internships, and mentoring programs. The result will be highly sought after university graduates who will help strengthen our community. This, in turn, will make Fort Smith a more attractive place in which to live and work. |
 | T. A. "The" Feild III M.D., Retired Fort Smith has a great university with a beautiful campus. It's a tremendous asset to the entire region. |
 | JoAnn Gedosh Family and Marriage Counselor UA Fort Smith is a major force in the River Valley, touching and changing lives for the better. And one does not have to be a student to benefit from what the university has to offer. As one who has worked here and retired here, I appreciate the many activities offered by UA Fort Smith. |
 | James C. Alexander, Jr. Eastman Kodak, Retired I support the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith for one very simple reason. It is meeting the educational needs of young people in our area who, otherwise, might not be able to receive a college education. This additional education for our young people will enable them to have a better quality of life as individuals and equip them to be good citizens of the communities in our region. |
