Alice Stephens |
Stephens has been registrar at NWACC for the past three years and was coordinator of advisement from 1997 to 2001. As registrar, she manages a database of 5,000 active student records. She said she looks forward to working more closely with students in her role as a student mentor in Bumpers College.
Stephens is already familiar with Bumpers College degree requirements, having worked on a dual education plan to facilitate transfer of credits from NWACC for majors in the College.
Previous positions held by Stephens have included career counseling and director of residence life at the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville and similar jobs at the Beebe campus of Arkansas State University and Hendrix College in Conway.
Stephens has a B.S. degree in rehabilitation psychology from Central Missouri State University at Warrensburg and an M.S. degree (1988) from the University of Central Arkansas in counseling with a specialty in student personnel services in higher education. She has held leadership positions in the Arkansas Academic Advising Network, the Arkansas College Personnel Association, and the Arkansas Association of Colleges and Employers.
A native of Blue Springs, Mo., Stephens says she is a loyal fan of the KC Chiefs, even at 0-3, and enjoys bowling and Razorback sports.
Haroon Sattar joins interior design faculty
Haroon Sattar has joined the Bumpers College faculty as an assistant professor of interior design in the School of Human Environmental Sciences.
After receiving a degree in architecture from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Sattar established a successful architectural firm. He found that he was drawn to the interior design components of his projects and decided to specialize in that area.
He obtained an M.F.A degree in interior design from the University of Georgia where, as a graduate teaching assistant, he developed a desire to teach in a university interior design program.
Sattar’s research interests include environmentally friendly design concepts and design challenges for a mobile society. His senior design class is designing an environmentally sustainable home for an actual client in New Mexico.
He and his wife, Fatema, who is also an interior designer, have two sons.
