Archivist gathering UCA's history....
With all the hoopla and banners around campus celebrating UCA's 100th year...did you know that there is a book being written about UCA and it's history?
There is! It's being compiled by the director of the archives at UCA, Jimmy Bryant.
Mr. Bryant - who had returned to UCA to earn a bachelor and master's degree in History - was hired by the university in 1998 to fill the position left when Tom Dillard retired in 1997.
The archives is a great place to find all sorts of information on the history of UCA...and Bryant's book should be an interesting product!
...knowing is half the battle, eh?

UCA - State of the University Address by Lu Hardin
.....from the UCA Faculty News..
....sidenote...President Hardin said UCA's chances on hosting a debate are more than 25% but less than 50%....
UCA President Lu Hardin yesterday spoke to separate gatherings of UCA faculty and staff, in what has come to be known as his "State of the University" address.
Hardin praised both groups for their outstanding achievements and dedication to UCA. He updated them on his plan to slow enrollment growth and focus on infrastructure additions and improvements to accommodate the recent surge of additional students.
He also sounded a hopeful note about UCA's chances to host a presidential debate in 2008. A decision by the Commission on Presidential Debates is expected by mid- to late October.
