The University of Central Arkansas English department has established a scholarship fund to honor recently-retired professors Rebecca Williams and Linda Arnold.
Both Williams, who joined the faculty in 1975, and Arnold, who arrived in 1985, taught English classes at all levels and devoted most of their college teaching careers to the preparation of Arkansas public school teachers. During their tenure at UCA, both were recipients of the university’s Teaching Excellence Award.
When fully endowed, the fund will be used to award scholarships to outstanding English majors who show promise as future teachers. Contributions to the scholarship fund may be made to the Williams/Arnold Scholarship Fund through the UCA Foundation or the UCA English Department.
