The UACCM choirs are set to perform in two separate performances on Thursday, April 2. The UACCM Choir, composed of UACCM students, will perform in a free concert at 7:00 pm in the Fine Arts Auditorium on campus. The program, entitled “A Tribute to American Music,” will contain a mixture of several genres of American music including folk songs, hymns, bluegrass, spirituals, gospel, and even a little bit of Broadway. As an added bonus, anyone attending the concert will get a quick sneak peek of a scene from the UACCM Theatre Department’s upcoming performance of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” slated for April 23 through 26. The choir is under the direction of Shannah Cummings.

Welcome back! We hope you all had an amazing spring break, and we're sure you are all very excited to be back on campus this morning. Anyone looking for Dennis White might have a hard time locating him, though (guess he's still sprawled out on the sandy spring break beaches or sleeping off his week of fun)! Keep your eyes on the blog for some exciting things coming up later this week. Don't forget about the Career Connections job fair tomorrow (see previous post), and all the club meetings coming up this week. Once again, we're glad to have you all back...have a great week!

Spring break is almost over, so it's time to get back to the books. In a couple of months (for a lot of students) it will be time to enter the real world! For most students, those two words beside one another incite fear and dread, so to help you get started in the right direction, be sure to stop by the UACCM Career Connections Job Fair coming up on Tuesday, March 31 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm in the Business Technology Center. Drop in and check out the employers working in your career field, explore job opportunities, and find out what the businesses out there are looking for in new employees. If you plan to stop by, be sure to dress appropriately and be prepared for mini-interviews held on-site. Most importantly, be ready to do some serious networking. Who knows? The employer you meet may be your boss after graduation! For more information contact Lynn Baker at (501) 977-2012 or at baker@uaccm.edu . Have a great weekend and we'll see you Monday.

There are two instructors out today and all of their classes are cancelled: Dana Strassle (physical science/biology) Anita Fowler (English)

UACCM and the Morrilton area were privileged last week to witness two presentations featuring a true living piece of history. Survivor Agi Geva shared her eyewitness account of the events she experienced throughout the Holocaust with hundreds of area students and adults during presentations at H.B. White Auditorium at Morrilton High School and in the UACCM Fine Arts Auditorium. Unfortunately, a reality we face today is that in 15 to 20 years, the last remaining eyewitnesses to the atrocities of the Holocaust will be gone, and while in Morrilton, Geva captivated audiences by telling of her time growing up in Hungary, her time spent in the notorious Nazi death camps of Auschwitz and Plaszow, the 400 kilometer forced death march she managed to survive alongside her mother and younger sister, and her eventual liberation by the American Army. A question and answer session followed each presentation, and audiences were then invited onstage to visit with Geva and view the infamous Auschwitz ...
