Congratulations to Mental Health Counseling students, Christina Griffin and Jared Whitmire, who were awarded the Dr. Ann Thomas Graduate Student Scholarship by the Arkansas Mental Health Counselors Association (ArMHCA)! This scholarship award is given annually to a graduate student who demonstrates excellent academic performance and significant involvement in ArMHCA.

Dr. Lora Adair and 2 undergraduate students, Brett Anderson and Taylor Hinton, presented research papers recently at the annual Northeastern Evolutionary Psychology Society conference.

Presenting this work at NEEPS is a tremendous achievement for undergraduates, as most oral presentations/talks are given by graduate students and faculty.

Well done!
