Dr. Christina S. Drale extends her warmest congratulations to the graduates of 2021.

Prior to her appointment, she was the Interim Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost at UA Little Rock. As the university’s chief academic officer, she oversaw the administration, coordination, and development of all academic functions of the university.

Dr. Drale joined UA Little Rock in 2006 as Associate Dean of the College of Professional Studies before becoming the Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs in 2011. In this role, she was responsible for faculty relations, academic resource management, policy oversight, and general administration.

A native of the Los Angeles area, Dr. Drale earned a Ph.D. in sociology, a Master of Arts in sociology, and a Bachelor of Arts in communications, all from the University of California, San Diego. She took her first academic position at Missouri State University in 1987, where she stayed for nearly 20 years and served as media coordinator of the Department of

Communications, chair of the Department of Art and Design, and associate dean of the College of Arts and Letters.

Edward Lynn Whitbeck Memorial AwardStuti Chatterjee, '21

Stuti Chatterjee, a native of India who now lives in Bryant, is a spring 2021 graduate of UA Little Rock with two bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and biology. She plans to attend medical school and become a doctor specializing in pediatrics.

While at UA Little Rock, Chaterjee served as a member of the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program and the Student Government Association. A firm believer in empowering women in STEM, Chatterjee volunteered for Girls of Promise and learned Python so she could code a camera to monitor the Arkansas River for a professor’s research project.

Chatterjee worked with Dr. Noureen Siraj, assistant professor of chemistry, to study the use of nanodrugs for effective cancer cell therapies. She received two Student Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) grants and three Signature Experience Awards from UA Little Rock to fund her research.

In the healthcare field, Chatterjee also works with Dr. Meghan Wilson, a rehabilitation medicine physician at UAMS who has tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury. Also at UAMS, she copyedited a book for Dr. Michael Wilson, “Behavioral Emergencies for the Healthcare Provider.”

University Administration

University of Arkansas at Little Rock

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is a metropolitan research university located in the heart of Arkansas that provides quality education through flexible learning and unparalleled internship opportunities. The university traces its roots to 1927, when the Little Rock Board of Education started Little Rock Junior College. In 1957, the institution began a four-year degree program, and 12 years later, Little Rock University merged with the University of Arkansas System and became the University of

Arkansas at Little Rock. Today, UA Little Rock prepares its students to be innovators and leaders in their fields. The university is the state’s most diverse campus in Arkansas, serving a student population of full- and part-time traditional and adult learners. The university continues to be a driving force in Little Rock’s thriving business and cultural community and a major component of the city and state’s growing profile as a regional leader in research, technology, economic development, and job creation.

The UA Little Rock Foundation Board of Directors initiated the Faculty Excellence Awards to recognize outstanding performance in teaching, research or creative endeavors, and public or professional service. Since 1989, when the first award was given, the event has provided a way to recognize the great work of UA Little Rock faculty and is made possible through the valued contributions of generous sponsors. Thanks to the financial support of the members of UA Little Rock Chancellor’s Circle and contributions of the UA Little Rock Board of Visitors, the university continues this cherished tradition. University-level winners are selected by a panel of judges who review the achievements of college-level winners in the areas of teaching, research and creative endeavors, and public service. This year’s outstanding nominees were recognized during a virtual reception archived at ualr.edu/facultyexcellence.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Alumni Association Message to GraduatesDear Graduates,

Congratulations! I'm a proud graduate of both the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the Bowen School of Law, and I have the honor of serving as president of your UA Little Rock Alumni Association.

Today I bring you greetings on behalf of your UA Little Rock’s Alumni Association Board and Members. Today is not the end of your relationship with UA Little Rock—it's only the beginning. You may not realize it, but on the day you accepted your offer of admission from UA Little Rock, you joined a lifelong community. In fact, you joined more than a community—you joined a family. And just like your own family, you remain a member of the UA Little Rock family for life.

Now I realize this may sound a little corny, or like something you'd read in a fundraising letter. But it's real. You share a common bond with thousands of other UA Little Rock graduates out there in the world. Every time you see someone wearing a Trojan sweatshirt, or whenever you read about the accomplishments of a fellow alumnus, you'll feel a sense of pride and nostalgia.

What does it mean to be part of a family? It means we help each other. This means we have a responsibility to help one another. We open doors for each other, and help each other face challenges in life.

During graduation, you hear people tell you to go out and change the world. Changing the world is hard work, and it's even harder to do alone. From time to time, you'll need a helping hand. Your UA Little Rock Alumni Association family is there for you, to support you when you need them.

Being in a family also means having responsibilities. But don't worry—it's not like what you might be thinking of—like being forced to make awkward conversation at a holiday dinner with that uncle or cousin that maybe you don't like so much.

Your responsibility to your UA Little Rock family is to stay involved. In order to remain an excellent university, and to grow even stronger, UA Little Rock needs your help. It needs you to give back. Now I'm not talking just about making donations—although of course I'd love each and every one of you to make a gift to UA Little Rock every year.

I'm talking about giving of your time and your talents to help future generations of UA Little Rock students that will follow in your footsteps. Just as previous generations of alumni have supported you, I urge you to do the same by joining the UA LIttle Rock Alumni Association as a Lifetime Member.

Jennifer Owens Buie, 2021, President Alumni Board of Directors
