-- Posted by dboddie on Wednesday, June 30 2004

The Office of Graduate Recruitment invites the University community to the 2004 George Washington Carver Project Research Presentations. The presentations will be tomorrow, July 1, from 3-5 p.m. in the Reynolds Center Auditorium. A reception will be held immediately following the presentations.

For six weeks, the Carver interns have worked with a UA faculty member in agriculture economics, drama, education (kinesiology), horticulture, humanities, civil engineering, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering.

The George Washington Carver Project is a recruitment initiative designed to increase the racial diversity of the graduate and professional student body at the University of Arkansas. Through partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions, the Office of Graduate Recruitment seeks to identify and recruit interested graduates of these universities to the University of Arkansas Graduate School.

The participating Carver institutions for 2004 are Southern University (La.), Dillard University (La.), Xavier University (La.), Tougaloo College (Miss.), Prairie View A & M University (Texas), and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.

UA Walton College to Offer New Part-Time Professional Master In Information Systems Program
-- Posted by dboddie on Friday, June 18 2004

Managers in state and regional global corporations are looking for information technology employees who have the leadership skills to manage people and technology in rapidly changing times. The Sam M. Walton College of Business, University of Arkansas, is offering a new part-time, two-year Master of Information Systems degree designed specifically for the working professional.

The program will be launched in the fall of 2004 with classes for anyone who is interested at Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville.

"The Walton College can offer these graduate students a full range of technology resources," said Paul Cronan, M.D. Matthews Lectureship and director of the Master of Information Systems Program. "Over the past three years, several major technology companies have donated software and hardware for student and faculty use. These include: Oracle Corporation, SAP, IBM and NCR. These gifts have enabled us to create systems and platforms very similar to the ones used by businesses. Thus, these students will gain experience in a full range of business technologies."

Michele Halsell, director of the Walton College Graduate School of Business, said: "This leading-edge program is offered one night a week for the convenience of the student. The student will take two courses, which will alternate from one course to another on successive weeks. Students who are physically present in the class will have a 'live' instructor, but the program is design to accommodate students who have to travel."
