awardees_240The Arkansas Alumni Association honored 11 University of Arkansas alumni and faculty during the 69th annual Alumni Awards Celebration on Oct. 11, presented by Fidelity Investments.

Although the Alumni Association has presented awards each year since 1944, this year marked the first time the event was moved to the Fayetteville Town Center. The new venue allowed for a bigger event that included more than 300 guests, live music by the Claudia Burson Trio and a silent auction that raised $3,500 for the Arkansas Alumni Association Scholarship Program.

The Alumni Association extends a special thank you to the 2013 awards celebration event sponsors: Butterfield Trail Village, Bank of America, Razorback Band Foundation, CitiScapes Magazine, KUAF, McBride Distributing and Lindt Chocolate.
