All 9,965 living alumni are invited, but we won’t have that many seats, so an RSVP is required. To save mailing costs, invitations and RSVP forms will be sent only to alumni who request them using the post card inserted in the Spring/Summer issue of The Graduate or by e-mailing or calling Becky Echols (rlechol@uark.edu), phone (479) 575-2179.
Faculty and staff members will receive an invitation RSVP required. Students who are interested in attending should contact their department head.
RSVP deadline is Oct. 31.
Dress is “celebration attire,” which means a coat for the men, tie optional, as a minimum of dressiness. (Philpot will wear a tux!)
The gala will include dinner served by students dressed in costumes representative of each fashion era since 1905, music and a distinguished speaker.
Philpot, a former farm broadcaster in demand statewide as a speaker, was named to the Arkansas Agriculture Hall of Fame in March 2005. He has hosted Arkansas Outdoors on the Arkansas Educational Television Network since its inception in 1992.
Raised in Mena, Philpot has a B.S. degree in agriculture and a master’s degree in educational media from the University of Arkansas. He was an assistant extension agent in Clark and Miller counties and a radio and television specialist in the state extension office. He was founding president of the Arkansas Association of Cooperative Extension Specialists. He was farm director at KAAY radio in Little Rock and held similar positions at KATV Channel 7 and the Arkansas Radio Network. In 1985, he launched an advertising agency and booking agency for his humor presentations.
