On November 12-14, three COB students participated at Arkansas Student Congress, sponsored by the Arkansas Communication and Theater Arts Association. Because this is an activity that involves policymaking, Dr. Anthony McMullen, Associate Professor of Business Law and sponsor of the debate team, encourages business students to participate.
Dr. Anthony McMullen in shown is the photo along with the participating students:

In addition, it passed both houses, making it a Law of Congress. In addition, it has received attention from the Arkansas Times.
