UA Little Rock students honor one-of-a-kind faculty members No Comments
University of Arkansas at Little Rock students are honoring faculty members who have made a positive impact in their lives through the 2021 We Heart Our Faculty Awards.
Overall, six UA Little Rock faculty members were selected by undergraduate, graduate, and law school students. Each of the recipients will receive a certificate and a one-of-a-kind, handmade glass heart created by Pine Bluff glass artist James Hayes in the colors of UA Little Rock.
The glass hearts symbolize positive, influential support that makes a real difference in the lives of students. As students enter the university to pursue their education, faculty often play a nurturing role, guiding students through the learning process and working hard to foster an environment that best ensures success.

A University of Arkansas at Little Rock student wrote a successful $3,000 grant for her mother’s school district in Illinois that will help raise mental health awareness for the community.
Kate Richars, an applied communication major from Newton, Illinois, took a grant writing course with Dr. Barbara L’Eplattenier, a professor in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing, during the fall 2020 semester.
“Dr. Barb did a great job with this course,” Richars said. “I loved it. We learned basically every aspect of a grant and how to write a grant to the best of our ability. We know to pull language from the grant proposal to get the attention of those who will be reading the grant. She set us up to have the best possible way to win the grant.”
