“John Wesley said, “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.” I believe the most meaningful way to make a positive impact on the future is through investment in and empowerment of others.
I grew up in a small town and graduated from an even smaller high school, and have been blessed with an amazing and loving family, incredible and caring friends, and mentors who have helped create opportunities for me, most of which I wouldn’t otherwise have had.
I am a third generation UCA graduate. My grandparents, Benny and Doris Brown, and my mother, Tyrene Gardner, along with many other family members, are proud graduates of UCA, and many are or have been educators.
Joining Delta Zeta was more meaningful than I could have ever imagined. It challenged me and motivated me to strive for something greater. The personal and professional connections from Delta Zeta, Greek Life at UCA, and my time as a volunteer for Delta Zeta are among my most treasured friendships.
As an undergraduate, and today, UCA and Greek Life has played a major role in my life. I met my husband John (Sig Ep ’02) during my time at UCA. He’s from Hot Springs, and I’m from Shirley, and we chose to make Conway our home – half way between our childhood homes.
He works at UCA, now as Associate Dean in Student Services, but previously as Director of Fraternity Life. We are both adjunct faculty at UCA. John and I are blessed every day to see others lives become as blessed as ours have been because of UCA.”
My Greek experience was an invaluable experience that has been and continues to be a blessing in my life.
