11/19/2009  FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – John H. Morris (B.A. 1959, M.A. 1969) of Fayetteville, Ark., spent his career teaching history at Wharton Community College in Wharton, Texas, 50 miles southwest of Houston. He returned to Fayetteville in 2000, and taught part-time at Northwest Arkansas Community College before retiring in 2008. Because of Morris’ dedication to education and a belief that every student has the potential to be successful, he has funded five Access Arkansas scholarships at the University of Arkansas for students who struggle to meet the financial obligations of higher education. |

11/19/2009 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a unique and robust method to prevent cloning of passive radio frequency identification tags. The technology, based on one or more unique physical attributes of individual tags rather than information stored on them, will prevent the production of counterfeit tags and thus greatly enhance both security and privacy for government agencies, businesses and consumers. |

11/2/2009  FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Julian Stewart (B.S.C.E. 1957) and his wife, Nana, have generously supported students at the University of Arkansas for years. They knew the next priority area for their educational philanthropy would be Access Arkansas, the university’s current initiative to raise money for need-based scholarships. Because of their belief in helping students who may not otherwise have an opportunity to start or continue their education, the Stewarts have given $100,000 to endow two Access Arkansas scholarships. |
