Just a Reminder: Even though students will not have day classes during advising days (November 2 & 3), they will still be required to attend evening and night classes on those days!!! Rachel Schell will not be having classes today and Jim Harris has canceled his classes for the rest of the week. UACCM welcomes Zachary Andrews, Thomas Crouch, and Alisha parks to campus today! If you see them on a campus tour, feel free to stop them and say "Hi" and/or what you had for breakfast. Oh and its Wednesday. Happy birthday Erik Kloeker. Erik holds the world record for upside-down juggling. He broke the world record on September, 20th 2007 by juggling upside-down for four minutes and five seconds, breaking the old record of 55.9 seconds.

The Conway County Care Center in Morrilton has again challenged UACCM fac­ulty, staff and students to gather a minimum of 500 cans of fruit to help re-stock their food pantry.  Drop-off bins for cans of fruit can be found in the UC, BTC and Kirk buildings .  If you wish to help but don’t’ have time to shop for fruit, please bring your monetary donations by the office of Institutional Advancement and will purchase it for you.  We have until the middle of November to meet the challenge, so let’s do our part and give back to those in need.
