UACCM Foundation Invites Public to 'Just Stay Home'

The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton Foundation will, as it has for the last 12 years, will hold its fall fundraiser this month. But instead of dressing up and driving to Just Desserts, this year the UACCM Foundation is inviting its donors to sit this one out — literally.

To put things into perspective, the cost of the event ticket, silent auction bids, raffle tickets and one’s dry cleaning bill (not to mention the 5,000 calories from those delicious hors d'oeuvres), can add up to a lot. The Foundation’s “Just Stay Home” benefit invites supporters of the college to enjoy their time at home while making a 100 percent tax deductible contribution to the UACCM Foundation Annual Fund, which supports the college’s programs, services and campus improvements.

For $25, you and your guest can “not” attend, or for $50, you and your guest will “not” purchase raffle tickets. $100 allows you to “not” sponsor a table. Whichever way you wish to “not” participate, please RSVP by contributing to this event by Oct. 31.

Anyone who wishes to contribute to the UACCM Foundation through the “Just Stay Home” benefit may do so by making a gift online at www.uaccm.edu/GivetoUACCM, mailing a check or money order to 1537 University Blvd., Morrilton, AR 72110, or by contacting Development Officer Morgan Zimmerman at (501) 977-2085. Additional information can be found on the “Just Stay Home” benefit event page found at www.facebook.com/GivetoUACCM.

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.”
