With gas prices rising higher & higher, organizations should consider offering or expanding remote work options for employees who are able to do so--especially those who commute long distances @ArkBusiness @RSeltzer @RobyBrock @sgoff12 @jdawsey1 @SusanPage

Congratulations to the recipients & appreciation to those who help make these mini-grants possible. Little things do mean a lot. Thank you @UofA_System.

"Talk About a Divided Party" is how @playbookdc described the Hammer-Norris Secretary of State runoff in Arkansas. Hammer's home county Saline, with local contests increasing turnout, provided his narrow winning margin.

Six years ago today (3/24/2020) the first Arkansan died of Covid. Since that time, over 14,350 Arkansans have died, over 51,500 have been hospitalized & many are still dealing with long covid. @ademillo @JSnyderAR @ARAdultImmDoc

After the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, young people could stay on their parents insurance until age 26. That was a positive game-changer for many graduate students. As a Dean, I saw it first hand. @RSeltzer @jmart @randerson_ryan @ClintonSchool

Early voting in Pulaski County through Sat. Feb. 28. has far exceeded the county's early voting totals in the 2022 midterms.

Honored to be at the investiture of Dr. Maurice Gipson, the 15th President of Philander Smith University. Dr. Gipson's wife & the First Lady of Philander is the former Jasmine Medley, a @clintonschool graduate & one of my former students. Happy for the Gipsons & Philander Smith.

For hard-working students, sometimes a little boost might be enough to change a life. It's the time again when students can apply for a boost through an endowment honoring former @ClintonSchool Dean Emeritus @JLRIII - truly a unique opportunity! MORE: uasys.edu/news/applicati…

Just returned from Batesville & the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration at @LyonCollege. The dining hall was packed. Twelve Lyon students read portions of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech. Music was terrific Judge Marion Humphrey of Little Rock was the guest speaker.

For the January 19, 1987 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday @KATVNews produced a 30 minute documentary "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in Arkansas" narrated by Debra Mathis. It's now a valuable Arkansas historical archive @PryorCenter & has been shown in years past at @ClintonSchool

The @UofA_System finally observed the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday in 1999--13 years after it was first observed in 1986 Then @UArkansas student government president @warwicksabin was instrumental in making that happen. @MikeWickline @ademillo @ArkTimes @ArkansasBlog

The closing of the storied Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is a reminder of just how fortunate we are in Arkansas to have @ArkansasOnline. This morning's paper is again full of Arkansas news & sports. @MikeWickline @ARPressAssoc @AKempWimberley

Remembering Dale Bumpers, Arkansas Senator & Governor, who died 10 years ago today: Jan. 1, 2016. As was said, "he gave public service a good name." @jmart

Arkansas Department of Health reports state flu activity "very high" through week of Dec. 27.

Little Rock's Fantastic China restaurant, open on Christmas Day, must be having one of its busiest days of the year. It was packed when I walked by at 2:30 p.m. & 40 cars were in the parking lot across the street. @lrchamber @denverpeacock

For those traveling on I-630 in downtown Little Rock, please say a prayer when you pass by Arkansas Children's Hospital. Well over 200 children (along with their families) are spending Christmas there--some fighting for their lives. @JamieWigginsRN @follyforhire @rmhcarnla
