Jackie Wiersma, a 2008 graduate of our Ph.D. program at Texas Tech who has contributed photos from several campuses she's visited, provides us with some from the University of Arkansas (in Fayetteville), where she has just begun a faculty position. Shown first is the north tower of Old Main, the oldest building on campus and currently home to the College of Arts and Sciences and other academic units.
In addition to the usual campus mainstays of the library (top) and student union (underneath)...
...the Arkansas campus also has some unique features. These include the Fulbright Peace Fountain (which the university captures with a live webcam)...
...the Greek Theatre (a gift to the university from the Chi Omega sorority)...
...and the Senior Walk, which is unlike anything I've ever heard of in American (or any other country's) higher education. According to a university document about Senior Walk: "Starting with the first class of 1876, every graduate’s name is etched into a concrete sidewalk that winds around campus for more than five miles." If you enlarge the picture and look carefully at the sidewalk by the lamppost, you should see an upside down "1914," where that year's graduates are listed.
Finally, we have two photos of the football stadium, one from the outside and one from the inside. If you know Jackie, you know that football is a passion of hers! On this day, the home Razorbacks narrowly lost to last year's national champion, Alabama.
