Henry Woods Leadership Award Applications Now Open
The 2016 Henry Woods Student Leadership Award will recognize one female and one male graduating senior at the university who has an outstanding record of student leadership. This award, established in honor of Henry Woods, a 1973 University of Arkansas graduate, provides a $1,000 award for each recipient for the spring semester.
Graduating seniors (undergraduates) must complete the online application in its entirety. The application may be accessed at the Student Affairs scholarship web site.
Jocelyn Murphy and Dennis Burchette were last year's recipients. Murphy was the editor of the Arkansas Traveler Magazine, a writer for the Arkansas Traveler newspaper, a resident assistant in the honors residence hall for three years and an anchor for UATV News. Burchette was president of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society and president of the Student Health Advisory Committee.
Henry Woods was involved in a variety of student organizations and edited The Razorback yearbook during his undergraduate career. Following graduation in 1973 from the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, Woods worked in Washington, D.C., on the staffs of Rep. Bill Alexander, and Sens. David Pryor, Dale Bumpers, and Blanche Lincoln. Woods strived to advocate and improve the quality of life for Arkansans during his 25 years of civic service at our nation's capital.
Friends and associates of Henry Woods established the award to honor his lasting impact at the University of Arkansas and the state of Arkansas.
