| SAVE THE DATE — Mark your calendar for Dec. 7, 2055. A centennial time capsule to be opened in 50 years will be sealed in the Agriculture Building at 2 p.m., Dec. 7, with a plaque to mark the location near AGRI 205. |
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend the second Bumpers College Centennial Symposium from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2, in the H.L. Hembree Auditorium in the Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences Building, followed by a reception in the AFLS atrium.
The future is the theme for this second of two centennial symposiums. The first one, on Oct. 17, focused on the evoling role of colleges of agricultural and life sciences from the Morril Land Grant Act of 1862 to the present.
The two speakers are Dr. John C. Owens, University of Nebraska vice president and vice chancellor for agriculture and natural resources on the Lincoln campus, and Daniel M. Dooley, whose law firm, Dooley, Herr and Peltzer, LLP, represents agricultural interests in the San Joaquin Valley of California.
The titles of presentations by Owens and Dooley, respectively, are “Opportunities and Challenges for Land-Grant Colleges of Agriculture in the 21st Century” and “Laboratory to Field and Back: A Two Way Street.”
The “Party of the Century,” centennial gala event is set for Dec. 3 at the Northwest Arkansas Convention Center in Springdale with former Senator Dale Bumpers as keynote speaker.
A time capsule to be opened in 50 years will be placed in the Agriculture Building at 2 p.m., Dec. 7. An exhibit on the history of the College is on display in the atrium of the Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences Building.
