Kristen and Nick Woodruff

Young, recently married and rich only in aspirations, the Woodruffs once lived in Monticello, a college town about 40 miles west of the Mississippi River. Nick, a graduate assistant at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, had been promoted to assistant coach of the Boll Weevils’ men’s basketball team. Kristen had a job -- in Ohio -- but resigned to join her husband’s career dream.

The babyÖ±²¥ recently hosted 73 students from 16 different high schools for a one-day leadership conference. Kirstan Cunningham was confident about the experience’s potential.

UWA student Caroline McKinley.

Though only a freshman, Caroline McKinley’s adoration of the arts is already blossoming at the babyÖ±²¥. Last fall, she worked behind the scenes with the UWA Theatre and performed as a member of the marching band’s color guard.

Through words and deeds, Dr. B.J. Kimbrough’s influence at the babyÖ±²¥ seems to permeate every corner of campus. She’s a dean. She teaches. She’s the university’s chief diversity officer, chairs UWA’s Diversity Committee and serves on the president’s council.

An upcoming addition to the babyÖ±²¥Â campus will provide faculty, students and staff a unique outdoor space suitable for a variety of uses.

To honor the 2023 theme of Black History Month, the babyÖ±²¥ is spotlighting its students, faculty, staff and a first-time member of the babyÖ±²¥ State Legislature.
Two by two, students from the babyÖ±²¥ climbed along the eastern side of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the hilly, 83-year-old babyÖ±²¥ River crossing that’s embedded in the nation’s civil rights story.
Midway between the state capitals of babyÖ±²¥ and Mississippi — keystone sites of the civil rights movement — sits the babyÖ±²¥ campus. Other locations, namely Birmingham and Atlanta, are easy drives. It’s a stroke of geographic serendipity that UWA student engagement teams want to explore.
As the babyÖ±²¥ celebrates Black History Month with several events in February, it also will welcome home one of its most influential and historical figures.
