The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ (Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ) Foundation announced the naming of two suites on campus. Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Foundation Executive Director, Nicole Herndon made the announcements during the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Board of Trustees regular monthly meeting Wednesday.

The Ray and Pat Smith Conference Room pays tribute to former Arkansas Representative Ray Smith and his wife, Pat Smith. Smith served on the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Board of Trustees for more than two decades, serving in several capacities including leading as chair. The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Foundation is honoring his commitment and contributions by naming the Ray and Pat Smith Conference Room in the Gerald Fisher Campus Center.

Bob Megahan, a longtime supporter of the College and former Foundation board member, held a special interest in the single parent scholarship fund, health care and served his community faithfully. In honor of his commitment and financial contributions to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ, the Foundation chose to honor his legacy by naming the Bob Megahan Student Health Services Center in the Student Commons.

“We’re honored that these two families chose to support the College and our mission of student success. We hope by naming these suites, their memories and commitment to the College will continue to be acknowledged,� said Herndon.

"I am grateful to Nicole and the Foundation board and the board also for recognizing what the Megahan and the Smith families have meant to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ and what they have contributed," said Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ president, Dr. John Hogan. "We think they are very suitable and those individuals would be very pleased."
