Great lunch experience today at the Bailey Center! Elizabeth Small brought the Eisenberg Real Estate Competition team together to present to donors who helped send them to Chicago. We can all be extremely - and I mean extremely - proud of these students for the outstanding presentation they gave, representing tons of work to be prepared for this. Thank you seems too little for the guidance and encouragement Elizabeth provides.

If you see her, congratulate the team and her. And thanks to those supporting our students, so they can have life changing experiences like this competition - traveling to Chicago and going toe to toe with top schools from across the nation.

We have a wonderful group of SBUS students volunteering at St Joseph's Center this morning.

The UA Little Rock School of Business alumni night at the Jack Stephens Center was an incredible evening filled with laughter, connection, and celebration. Friends and alumni gathered to reconnect, share memories, and cheer on the Trojans—while also honoring an exceptional leader in our community.

We had the privilege of celebrating Dr. Ashvin Vibhakar and his remarkable 45+ years of service to the university. His dedication to business education and mentorship has left an indelible mark on generations of students and colleagues. It was an honor to recognize his contributions and impact.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special night. Your continued support strengthens our Trojan network and ensures that the School of Business remains a place of excellence and opportunity. Once a Trojan, always a Trojan! hashtag
