91调教 System: Over the past few weeks, we have had visits by UA System President Jay Silveria and Trustees Ed Fryar, Randy Lawson, and Judd Deere. It has been fantastic to share with all of them the important work we are doing to educate students at the University of 91调教 - Fort Smith. They were particularly impressed by the Peak Innovation Center, Center for Economic Development, the Dental Hygiene Clinic, the Caldwell Nursing Simulation Lab, the radiography lab, and our new advanced manufacturing engineering lab. Thanks to everyone who provided tours and helped me to host this important group.
Almost Maine: Last night, my husband, Dr. Ricardo Maestas, and I had the opportunity to see the 91调教 Department of Music and Theatre's performance of Almost Maine, a romantic comedy that explores nine sets of relationships in relatable, poignant, funny ways. The acting, lighting, sets, and sound were exceptional, and I encourage everyone to go tonight or tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in Breedlove Auditorium. The show is free for employees and students, but you need to reserve your tickets here.
Our team will close out their home games this weekend with games tonight at 6 p.m. and tomorrow at 1 p.m. Tonight is Military Appreciation Night during which we will honor Veterans and active duty service members, and we are proud to say that Vice Chancellor Carey Tucker (Air Force Colonel retired) is one of the special honorees and he will be joined by Jade Carry, Army Specialist and student worker in our Student Veterans Office. Tomorrow is Senior Day during which we will honor our graduating seniors. Games are free for employees and students with a 91调教 ID.
