In November, Susan and Dean Davenport were recognized as Outstanding Philanthropists on National Philanthropy Day by the Arkansas Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Susan is an alumna of the UCA Accounting program.

They were recognized for their years of dedication to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas & North Louisiana. Inviting Arkansas said in the Davenports’ feature article,  Susan reflects UCA’s four pillars – success, culture, wellness, and excellence – as well as the Ronald McDonald House Charities mission to provide every family comfort and care.

Several members from UCA were on hand to congratulate and thank the Davenports for their community impact.
