I decided to attend UA Little Rock while I was employed at Episcopal Collegiate School as the Director of Community Relations. I chose to attend UA Little Rock because I heard great things about the faculty, staff and administration. Many of my colleagues and peers shared positive, personal experiences with me. My goals were to earn a master’s degree and to eventually obtain an Arkansas Teacher’s License, so I quickly decided to attend UA Little Rock.
The UA Little Rock education adds value to my professional portfolio because it allowed me to obtain a master’s degree and placed me in a position for a coaching and teaching career at Parkview Arts and Science High School. It also has given me another alumni base to connect and interact with as it pertains to business, education, etc.
UA Little Rock has a welcoming community and it provided me with support from fellow students, faculty, staff and administrators. The UA Little Rock faculty and staff displayed an interest in me personally, academically and socially. I consider UA Little Rock a “hidden gem” in this city, because of the campus size, location and everything that it has to offer.
