The Model Chapter Award is one of Psi Chi’s methods to encourage chapters to have a successful academic year. To receive this award, all that is required is for a chapter to (a) complete 13 basic steps throughout the year and then (b) apply for the award before the spring deadline.

All qualifying chapters automatically receive $100 and a custom certificate to reward the chapter and inspire membership for years to come. The UCA chapter was one of 42 chapters that achieved Model Chapter status this year.

Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, recently highlighted the UCA chapter’s 10th consecutive Model Chapter Award on the Society’s blog.

Congratulations!

UCA’s Jewel Moore Nature Reserve In Full Bloom

The University of Central Arkansas and Conway communities are encouraged to visit the Jewel Moore Nature Reserve on the UCA campus.

The Reserve includes 5 acres of virgin prairie, which now features an abundance of wildflowers in bloom.

The Reserve is open dawn to dusk free of charge seven days a week.

Visitors are asked to please stay on the trails to avoid trampling the wildflowers and to minimize the risk of chiggers and ticks.

The trails can be entered from behind the HPER Center or next to the sand volleyball courts.

Photographers are invited to enter the Jewel Moore Nature Reserve Photography contest.
