I have had great relationships with librarians of all types throughout my life, so learning that there was often a disconnect between school libraries and public or academic libraries deeply saddened me. I have made it a personal mission to nurture the cooperative relationships between NCSLMA and other professional library organizations across my state. I would like use this experience to help advocate for cooperation and collaboration of ALL types of librarians in hopes that our profession can learn to reach across the aisles to learn and grow with others to better serve our stakeholders.

In my first term as Councilor-at-Large, I advocated for policies that increase equity, diversity, and inclusion and defend intellectual freedom in our work and our communities. I listen carefully to understand the context and complexity of each issue, so that I can make a thoughtful decision that upholds the values of our profession. If re-elected, I aspire to expand these commitments to advocacy and values-driven decisions by participating in Council committees. My primary interests would be ALA budgets and resolutions. Clearly understanding these essential processes can be the foundation for any member to have an impact in ALA; I hope to help make them more accessible to all. Serving on Council has taught me how to make a difference in my association. I am seeking a second term so I can pay that valuable lesson forward to others.

  • Fall 2018 Commencement Program Book
    DECEMBER 15, 2018 Bud Walton Arena • Fayetteville, Arkansas Alma Mater Pure as the dawn on the brow of thy beauty Watches thy soul from the mountains of God Over the Fates of thy children departed Far from the land where their footsteps have trod. Beacon of Hope in the ways dreary lighted; Pride of our hearts that are loyal and true; From those who adore unto one who adores us— Mother of Mothers, we sing unto you. We, with our faces turned high to the Eastward Proud of our place in the vanguard of Truth, Will sing unto thee a new song of thanksgiving— Honor to God and the Springtime of Youth. Shout for the victory or tear for the vanquished; Sunshine or tempest thy heart is e’er true; Pride of the hills and the white-laden Lowlands— Mother of Mothers, we kneel unto you. Ever the Legions of Sin will assail us, Even the Battle in Cities afar; Still in the depth will thy Spirit eternal Beckon us on like a piloting Star. Down the dim years do thy dead children call thee, Wafted to sleep while the Springtime was new; We, of the Present, thy Hope of the Future— Mother of Mothers, we pray unto you. 2 3 Contents: Commencement Program – 4 The Academic Procession – 5 The Official Party – 6 University Traditions and Academic Regalia – 7 Degree Candidates – 10 Past Honorary Degree Recipients – 47 Board of Trustees – 49 Colleges: Graduate School and International Education – 9 School of Law – 19 Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences – 21 Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design – 25 J.
