Skylar is in her last semester at UACCM, pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance Technology degree. After graduation, Skylar plans to transfer to Arkansas Tech University to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. When asked what is unique about her UACCM story, Skylar told us that she withdrew from college five years ago due to financial reasons and never thought that she would be able to return to college. When she decided to pursue her education again, UACCM was the right fit for her due to the small class sizes and the hands-on experience professors have from working in their field of study prior to teaching.  Skylar said her advice for current and future Timberwolves is "Don't be afraid to ask questions and use the resourses UACCM offers to students. Everyone is warm and welcoming on campus and here to help!"

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.”
