University of Arkansas at Little Rock History Department Newsletter Two
University of Arkansas at Little Rock History Department Newsletter May 6, 2011—Editor, Edward M. Anson Two Senior Faculty Members Retire Fred Williams to Retire at the End of the Semester C. Fred Williams, Professor of History, joined the UALR History faculty in 1969. He was selected as Department Head in 1973 and became Chairperson in 1974, the latter position he held until 1980. During his term as Chair, Dr. Williams oversaw the greatest growth in the size of the department, hiring ten faculty members, most of whom either completed their academic careers at UALR or are still in the department. At UALR, Dr. Williams has worn many hats – Professor, as noted, head and chair of the History Department, Associate Dean of the then College of Liberal Arts, Associate Vice Chancellor for Educational Programs, President of the University Assembly and Senate, and even acting chair of the Department of International and Second Language Studies. He has long been one of the state’s leading advocates for Arkansas history, and is currently the Director of the University’s Center for Arkansas Studies and Editor of the Ledbetter Monograph Series on Arkansas Culture. It has been thanks to his support and encouragement that our department has been at the forefront of the study of the history of our state. Dr. Williams, along with colleagues like now retired S. Charles Bolton and current faculty Carl Moneyhon and John Kirk, have in their monographs brought much of our state’s history from the archives and personal remembrances to the community at large. -
American Indian Profile
American Indian Profile Fall 2012 Enrollment Information 09/26/12 The University Northeastern State University is a comprehensive regional university that prepares students to succeed as global citizens by providing exceptional undergraduate and graduate programs, along with the only Doctorate of Optometry offered in Oklahoma (one of only 19 nationwide) and the only Bachelor of Arts degree in Cherokee Education in the nation. History Northeastern was founded in 1846 as the Cherokee National Female Seminary, which opened in 1851. On March 6, 1909, the Oklahoma Legislature purchased the Seminary from the Cherokee Nation, and the following September classes began at the newly formed Northeastern State Normal School. In 2009, the NSU Centennial Celebration highlighted the university’s 100 years as a state institution and dedicated a monument to the pre- eminant Cherokee scholar, Sequoyah. Center for Tribal Studies The Center for Tribal Studies, founded in 1990, is a resource for bridging communication and interaction between tribal nations and the university. Within the context of American Indian higher education, the Center collaborates with other campus entities in program development, strategic planning, research guidance, student engagement and scholarly activities. Northeastern State University is a destination of choice for American Indian education, and the diverse campus culture nurtures a strong sense of community for Native students. Through educational leadership, cultural knowledge and professional development among students, scholars emerge - many of whom will serve in professions benefiting tribal governments and indigenous communities. Indigenous Scholar Development Center The Indigenous Scholar Development Center (ISDC) was established in the fall of 2011. Housed on the second floor of the John Vaughn Library adjacent to Special Collections, the Center offers services to enhance the academic experience of students in a supportive environment. -
