Greetings UAPB/AM&N Alumni!
We hope your 2022 is off to a safe and healthy beginning.
We are so excited about the quarterly production of this newsletter. The committee has worked diligently to present a publication that you will be proud to receive. This publication will provide the latest news, events, featured alumni highlights, and what’s happening at the National Alumni Association.
We were hopeful that COVID would be a thing of the past, and we could go back to face-to-face meetings and events within our alumni association. Unfortunately, we remain virtual with chapter meetings and events with the onset of the new variant of the virus. Meeting virtual is the safest way to maneuver during this pandemic.
We will share information soon about our 2nd Virtual Alumni Conference scheduled for late July or early August.
We are pleased to re-launch our Alumni Center Campaign to build a new Alumni Center. You can now resume your pledge payments for those who made pledges. If you have not pledged or donated to the Alumni Center Campaign, please consider making that commitment today.
Finally, we encourage you to pay your annual membership dues this month. We encourage you to level up to the next life membership if you are a life member. If you are already at the highest level, diamond life member, we encourage you to support our other giving opportunities. Go to our website for details.
Thank you, Alumni, for your continued support. We greatly appreciate you.
Warmest regards,
Kymara H. Seals
President and Chairman of the Board

The University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff beat out Morehouse and Howard for Dr. Matt King when he was looking into where to attend college. His family has roots in Arkansas and staying close to home with the support of family and community made all the difference for Matt.
