The Power Team is working hard for the Academy

Several ladies from the Fort Smith community have joined together for the purpose of raising money for the Academy and promoting Academy programs in the Fort Smith community and surrounding areas. The ladies, or the Power Team, as they call themselves, coordinate fund-raisers, assist the Academy activities both on and off campus, and distribute Academy information throughout our community. If you would like more information on how you might become involved with the Power Team, contact the Academy Administrative Assistant, Kathy Zeller, at 788-7251, or email Kathy at kzeller@uafortsmith.edu. You may also reach Dr. Rosilee Walker Russell at 788-7546.
