University of Arkansas - Fort Smith issued the following announcement on May 12.
Congratulations to Dr. Randall Stone, assistant professor of accounting, who earned the Lori Norin Faculty Appreciation Award. He was selected by the UAFS Student Government Association for the honor, chosen from a pool of nominations sent in by students across the institution.
Austin Miller, SGA treasurer, presented the award, saying, “There is no shortage of outstanding faculty and staff members at this institution, but today I am pleased to present this award to an outstanding faculty member. One who engages students in learning both inside and outside of the classroom. One whose commitment to their profession, to their community, and to the university provides students with a first-hand example of what it means to be a lion.”
Miller said he jumped at the opportunity to present the award because of his connection with Dr. Stone’s educational style. “I have had the privilege to work alongside this individual on several different projects, and though I have only known them for about a year, I can assure you all that they have changed my life for the better. I would consider this professor to be a personal mentor to me as they have gone above and beyond their job requirements to assist me. Whether they know it or not, it is unlikely that I would be where I am today without their guidance,” Miller said.
“The support I have received from this professor is something that I will never forget to the extent that I would consider this person to be a lifelong friend. Presenting this award today is without a doubt one of the proudest moments I’ve had here at UAFS.”
