OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR (501) 367-6811 Monticello, Arkonsas 71655 | Ld OF ARKANSAS AT MONTICELLO May 14, 1980 Dear Students: The 1979-80 school year has been a good one for the University of Arkansas at Monticello. The student body has tesponded positively to the institution's efforts to upgrade the quality of student life and campus activities. Student morale has been good, participation in campus activities has improved, and high student spirit has been evident. The faculty and staff have worked hard to develop and maintain quality education programs to meet your career needs. Through their efforts, the institution's accreditation was continued for an additional five years. This is positive evidence that UAM students have available to them programs | of comparable quality to programs being offered other students across the nation. This year was excellent for UAM in meeting some of its building needs. While we lost the services of the armory, we did get our funding for the much needed student center and physical education building. Plans are to break ground about July 1, 1980, with a completion date of January 1982. This facility will be central to the continued development of student life and academic programing. This has been a good year. Others will be even better because of the commitment to the school by the students, alumni, faculty and staff. Sincerely, : .

The student center is the one addition to this campus which will bring UAM’s phys- ical facilities up to a comparable level with other institutions. Under the watchful eye of Chancellor Taylor, UAM also took a big step forward this year in receiving an unconditional 5- year accreditation from the NCA. This accomplishment is one of which both stu- dents and faculty can be proud. DR. FRED TAYLOR
