What is the T-book?

Dear Fellow Lion, Welcome to the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith. I am excited and proud to welcome you as a part of the Lion family!

Our University has a rich history and a promising future. The Alumni Association serves about 45,000 alumni. We are unique because the University has undergone a few name changes since 1928. Anybody who attended Fort Smith Junior College, Westark, or UAFS automatically belongs to the Association if they completed 14 hours or more. One of the best things about the Alumni Association is that membership is FREE! We don’t charge dues; we just want our alumni to stay connected.

You are a future alumnus of UAFS, but you can get engaged in the Association even as a freshman. The Student Alumni Association (SAA) is a great way to meet new people, get plugged in on campus, connect with alumni, and receive some really cool benefits like discounts in the Barnes & Noble Lions Bookstore, free t-shirts, and much more.

The Student Alumni Association, with the help of the Alumni Office, is proud to bring you this Traditions Book. I challenge you to complete all the traditions at UAFS and become a Tradition Keeper. If you complete a certain number of traditions, you are able to wear special cords at your graduation.

This book will guide you through life as a Lion. The SAA and the Alumni Association are here to both serve you and act as a home away from home. Keep the traditions alive, and Go Lions!

Best wishes,

Katie Kratzberg ’07 Assistant Director Student Alumni Association Advisor

Freshmen wore beanies and “buttoned� sophomores upon request during the week-long initiation period. This rite of passage stopped shortly thereafter because of World War II. In the 1950s, after the college moved to its current location on Grand Avenue, the tradition of freshmen wearing beanies was started again.

GREEK Life The Greek Life community is composed of eight fraternal organizations and encompasses almost six percent of the student population. The four fraternities on campus are Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Nu. The sororities are Delta Gamma, Delta Sigma Theta, Gamma Eta, and Gamma Phi Beta.

Joining a fraternity or sorority comes with multiple benefits. Grade point averages are higher than the average student’s, and in fall 2011 alone the fraternal organizations accumulated almost 5,000 hours of community service.

The mission of Greek Life is to foster an environment in which development of leadership skills, involvement in community service, commitment to scholarship, and attention to friendship are encouraged. Students involved in fraternities and sororities have shown a higher graduation rate, better job placement rate, and make stronger alumni than any other students on a college campus.

Consider joining us to create the newest and fastest growing tradition at UAFS. For more information, contact the Greek Life Office, heather.murphy@uafs.edu.

Intramurals “Where Integrity Meets Intensity� is the motto of the intramural sports program at UAFS. Intramurals is a program where students get to compete on a variety of levels in more than 13 sports, ranging from flag football and dodgeball to air rifle and basketball.

Athletic accomplishments through the years UAFS’s athletic history began in 1928—the year the University, which was then a junior college, was founded. Throughout its long history as a junior college, UAFS won three national championships – one for women’s basketball in 1995 and two for men’s basketball in 1981 and 2006. UAFS was also national runner-up for women’s basketball in 1994 and for volleyball in 2008. The University has won countless conference and regional tournament championships in each of its sports. After more than 50 years as one of the most successful junior-college programs in the nation, UAFS became a member of the NCAA Division II. UAFS now competes in ten sports: volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s tennis.

Throughout its history, UAFS has produced several All-Conference, All-Region, and All-American players. Three former women’s basketball players have gone on to play in the WNBA—Kim Williams ’95, Alisa Burras ’96, and Gillian Goring ’05. Four former men’s basketball players have gone on to play in the NBA—Ron Brewer ’76, Darrell Walker ’80, Maurice Jeffers ’99, and Sonny Weems ’06. Five former baseball players have played in the Major Leagues—Jeff McKnight ’83, Kevin Lomon ’90, Ryan Nye ’93, Aaron Looper ’97, and Craig Gentry ’04.

BRUSH UP ON CURRENT EVENTS DURING CONSTITUTION WEEK Constitution Week is hosted primarily by the UAFS American Democracy Project. It is held annually the week of September 17—Constitution Day. Constitution Week activities include the “Let Your Voice Be Heard” forum—an event where students, faculty, staff, and members of the community can give a short speech on the Constitution Week theme (past themes include “Freedom of the Press & You” and “The Right to Vote”).

Voter registration drives are also held throughout the week, and students are given the opportunity to express their own thoughts and opinions by submitting responses to issues related to the theme.

The presentations feature lectures, poster presentations, studio art, slideshows, and performing arts from all academic disciplines.

UAFS encourages all students involved in research to talk to a faculty sponsor about participating. The event is held each April.

Alumni Association The University of Arkansas - Fort Smith Alumni Association is the best way to stay in touch with your alma mater, former classmates, friends, and professors. Sound irrelevant to you now? It’s not. It’s never too early to get connected to the alumni association and you can do that as a student through the Student Alumni Association (SAA). The alumni association helps the University communicate with close to 45,000 alumni, provides programs and services, and encourages alumni to support and strengthen the institution.

Just like with the Student Alumni Association, when you graduate we will not ask you to pay dues. We just want you to stay connected. The association has a variety of young alumni programs designed specifically with our recent graduates in mind. That means we are here to serve you even after you receive that diploma!
