Five staff members receive Staff Senate, Crittenden Book scholarships]]> The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Staff Senate has recognized five staff members who are bettering themselves by pursuing degrees while working full time.聽 Two 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock staff members received a $250 Staff Senate Scholarship: Doniece Allen, an administrative and data specialist at MidSOUTH, and Zedralyn Butler, regional team leader and CHRIS trainer at MidSOUTH. With a current 3.5 GPA, Allen is pursuing a Master of Education degree in adult and professional learning as well as a graduate certificate in learning systems technology education. She wants to use her education to train and develop staff within a business by creating unique curriculum and work aids that are tailored to adult learning styles. Butler is a single mother of three children, including 1-year-old twins, who plans to graduate in spring 2020 with a master鈥檚 degree in sports management. The winners of the Jerry Crittenden Employee Book Scholarship winners include Colleen Godley, career services program coordinator at William H. Bowen School of Law; Larry Rhodes, learning technology coordinator in the College of Social Sciences and Communication; and Christina Smith, director of development and external relations in the College of Social Sciences and Communication. The first recipient, Godley, plans to graduate in the spring 2020 semester with a Master of Science in business information systems. Additionally, she is working on graduate certificates in financial data analytics and management. Rhodes went back to school at age 42 to pursue not one, but two degrees. After chaperoning a trip to Morocco in 2016, he realized that photography and storytelling are his greatest passions. He is working toward bachelor鈥檚 degrees in applied communication and international studies as well as minors in information technology and Middle Eastern Studies. After completing his degrees, Rhodes dreams of working as a cultural documentarian and using his skills to help people around the world tell their stories. After what Christina Smith recalled as some 鈥済entle prodding鈥 from Dr. Julien Mirivel, interim dean of the College of Social Sciences and Communication, she is pursuing her Doctor of Education in higher education administration. In the future, Smith hopes to lead fundraising efforts at a university.

Scivally named Trojan Outstanding Academic Advisor]]> A hard-working academic advisor in the College of Social Sciences and Communication with a passion for helping his students succeed has been named the winner of the inaugural Trojan Outstanding Academic Advisor Award.聽 Louis Scivally, transfer and Bachelor of Applied Science advisor, will also receive a $1,000 prize for winning the new award, which recognizes excellent academic advising. It also emphasizes the importance and expanding role academic advisors have in serving 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock鈥檚 students and helping them be successful in a changing college environment. 鈥淚 have enjoyed helping students investigate their passions, plan their pathways, and experience the joys of education,鈥 Scivally said. 鈥淚 am most proud of the observations I have made from the floor of Jack Stephens Center when I have helped students walk at their commencement ceremony. I have been able to watch many students put their lives in high gear when working on a degree.鈥 Scivally earned a Bachelor of Science in printing management and a Master of Science in college student personnel services from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. He began his 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock career in 2012 and has worked as a recruitment coordinator in the Office of Admissions and an advisor for the College of Business before joining the College of Social Sciences and Communication. One of Scivally鈥檚 former advisees, Robert Aikman, who now works for a Fortune 500 company, said he wouldn鈥檛 be where he is today without Scivally鈥檚 guidance. 鈥淟ouis is a rare breed,鈥 said Aikman, business development analyst at Insight Enterprises. 鈥淟ouis was instrumental in my academic strategy during my time at 糖心Vlog传媒LR. Initially, I was a biology major, but after taking just one week of an economics course, I realized I had a passion for the subject. I was reluctant to change my major, as I was unsure if economics was a viable route, but Louis walked me through the choice.鈥 Scivally advised Aikman to look at the earning potential and need for economics majors, helped him apply for scholarships, designed a class schedule that fit in with his job, and told him that his happiness is the most important factor when choosing a career. 鈥淩egardless of his schedule, he was always ready to throw some time on the calendar and sync up to discuss academic strategy,鈥 Aikman said. 鈥淲ithout Louis and his guidance, I might have never pursued analytics and economics. Now, I am the business development analyst for an entire inside sales organization of a Fortune 500, and I am very excited about my prospective career trajectory.鈥 Scivally鈥檚 coworkers describe him as someone who can always be found getting to know students around campus and helping them reach their goals at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock. 鈥淟ouis walks with students every step of the way through their college career, from recruiting to graduation,鈥 said Shannon Gwinn, director of the Center for Students and Career Services in the College of Business. 鈥淗e takes the time to get to know the students as more than just a major and T-number. When Louis walks across campus or into an event, students immediately recognize him and reach out to visit with him. It is obvious that Louis is passionate about assisting students reach their goals at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock.鈥 On campus, Scivally has been an early adopter and trainer for new advising technologies, including College Schedule and Ellucian Degree Works. 鈥淎nother tribute to the dedication and expertise of Mr. Scivally is that he was chosen to be the foundational advisor for the new Bachelor of Applied Science degree program, which is a growing educational pathway for transfer students with military and/or technical credits to leverage and apply toward a bachelor鈥檚 degree,鈥 Registrar Malissa Mathis said. 鈥淔rom its inception in 2015, Mr. Scivally鈥檚 efforts have grown that program to serve hundreds of transferring students.鈥 In the upper right photo,聽Jennifer Owens (right) presents Louis Scivally (left) with the Trojan Outstanding Academic Advisor Award during the Staff Awards Ceremony.
