A note from the President

Dear Friends: This has been a marvelous year of spirit and excellence at Henderson State University. The ability to attract more students to live on campus in our two new residence halls added life and vitality to the institution. Attendance at plays, musicals, and athletic events has increased substantially. More importantly, the terrific spirit that we all associate with Henderson is stronger than ever. Building the two new residence halls was part of a larger strategic plan to strengthen campus life and to better “engage” our students. We revisited the freshman year experience program and added a “common book” that every freshman read and discussed during the first few weeks of school. The book selected, The Kite Runner, permitted our freshmen and faculty to discuss a number of important issues in the context of several different academic disciplines. When I heard students seriously discussing the book in line at the cafeteria, I knew we had “hit a home run.” The book brought students and faculty together in a way that few other academic efforts could. It also has been an exciting year in the various sports venues of Henderson State University. The Reddie Football team enjoyed its best season since 1985 … complete with a victorious Homecoming Battle of the Ravine. The Lady Reddie Volleyball team made the playoffs and won their own “battle of the ravine” with over 1,200 fans from Ouachita and Henderson urging their teams on. While this university is about academics, the athletic program is an important part of what we do in academics. Over 500 of our students are engaged in the athletic program to one extent or another. Most of these students pay their own way to college. When one considers how many students are engaged in athletic competition, sports medicine, recreation, band, and other areas ancillary to athletics, it is easy to see why we consider the Reddie athletic program to be an integral part of the spirit and tradition of Henderson. I hope to see you on our lovely campus soon. We would love to tell you about our exciting plans for Henderson. Sincerely,

Charles D. Dunn President Winter 2006-07

An endowment honoring entertainer Vince Gill has been established at Henderson State University, thanks to Barbara Johnston Hubbard, a nation- ally known entertainment consultant. Hubbard, a Henderson alumnus, helps book acts for Summit Arena and Magic Springs, among hundreds of other venues. Known around the nation as “Mother” Hub- bard, she recently visited Hot Springs to present a check establishing the endowment. “The purpose of the Vince Gill Endowment is to attract and reward high-quality music majors in performance and academics at Henderson,” Hubbard said. “Interest from the endowment will fund an annual award to a senior in Henderson’s music department with a minimum 3.0 grade point average, begin- ning in 2007.” “We are pleased to count Barbara “Babs” Johnston Hubbard among our alumni,” said Billy Tarpley, Henderson’s director of development. “She has distinguished herself within the music industry and has earned the highest possible accolades from her colleagues.

Reddie Report Winter 2006-07 • Page 20 You could say Dr. Ann Rye has been playing the piano all her life; playing at church as a very young child, and continuing to play throughout her adult life. She has accompanied numerous vocal and instrumental juries and degree recitals, as well as choral ensembles for her husband, recently retired Henderson Choral Director Dr. Charles Rye. She has accompanied artists such as Peter Ellefson, Patrick Sheridan and Frank Kowalsky, to name a few. It is no wonder Rye was recently named Outstanding Accompanist for the southern region by the National Association of Teachers of Singing. This award is not given annually, but only when NATS feels there is someone who deserves it. Henderson is fortunate to have had Rye as a professor of music for over 35 years. She has instructed many piano students who still “sing” her praises!

To become an Arkansas Certified Emergency Manager requires completing the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Professional Development Series and a rigorous curriculum of courses from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security including the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Jim Harris has done just that! Including; organizing volunteers, dealing with hazardous materials, earthquakes, floods, radiation and disaster debris. Harris is the Bio-Terrorism and Agriculture Coordinator for Arkansas’s Department of Emergency Management. Harris was Gov. Mike Huckabee’s director of press operations from 1996 until April 2006 and began advising the governor on emergency management issues in June 1997. Since September 11, 2001, he has worked on Homeland Security policy issues. Harris has served on the Arkansas Homeland Security Council, Southern Governor’s Association Taskforce on Telemedicine and Homeland Security, Arkansas Anti-Terrorism Task Force, FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the Arkansas Wireless Information Network (AWIN) Advisory Panel. Harris, a 1975 graduate of Henderson, and his wife Pat currently make their home in Bryant where he is a constable for District 5.

Tené Green graduated from Henderson in 2001 with a degree in political science. She earned her J.D. from the University of Arkansas School of Law in 2004. She is employed with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in Bentonville, where she is a licensed attorney, and conducts harassment and discrimination investigations along with other EEO matters. She feels fortunate to work for a company that is supportive of ones goals, ambitions, and diversity. As Associate Development Chair for U.N.I.T.Y. (African American Resource Group), she is excited to have the opportunity to provide personal and professional development and networking opportunities to constituent associates. Green was recently appointed to the boards of The Northwest Arkansas Crisis Center and the Northwest Arkansas HeadStart and is actively involved with the organizations they support in the community. She is a member of the graduate chapter for Delta Sigma Theta. Green also serves on the membership committee and legislative committee for the Arkansas Bar Association. Green says she "is proud to be a graduate of Henderson State University," and is "happy with the training and education she received at Henderson." Non Profit Org.
