Officials from Conway School District and the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) gathered in the James H. Clark Auditorium on Thursday, September 19 for an announcement and formal signing to solidify the new partnership between Conway School District and UACCM.  The partnership provides Conway High School students in various career and technical education (CTE) programs through Conway Area Career Center (CACC) the ability to earn a Certificate of Proficiency in those programs at no cost.  The ceremony featured remarks from both institutions, including a welcome from Conway High School Principal Dr. Kate Worley.

The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) has reported a preliminary fall enrollment of 2,250 credit students.

October Student of the Month: Hayden Simpson

Hayden is in his first year at UACCM, pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Aided Drafting and Design degree. After graduation, Hayden plans to begin a career in Computer Aided Drafting and Design and hopes to one day return to UACCM to become a professor.   Hayden was homeschooled and says UACCM was the best fit for him because of the motivating atmosphere on campus, smaller class sizes, and affordable tuition.   Hayden says his favorite things about UACCM are the professors and their willingness to help. Many around campus may know Hayden as his other identity: UACCM’s mascot, Wolfie!   Recently Hayden represented UACCM as Wolfie during the Arkansas Razorbacks and UAPB Golden Lions football game at War Memorial Stadium in August.   We asked Hayden if he had any advice for current and future Timberwolves, he said, "Rest in-between classes. Check out the Esports Club in the Fine Arts building and take a well-deserved break.”
