Each spring, the Arkansas Alumni Association honors two graduating seniors whose academic achievement, leadership, and service best exemplify the Razorback spirit. The Senior Honor Citation has been awarded annually since 1965 to recognize those whose impact reaches far beyond the classroom.
The 2025 recipients, Sydney Roulhac of Pine Bluff and Jonathan Ivey of Rogers, were recognized during the Cardinal & White Celebration on May 8 at Fowler Conservatory. They were selected from a record pool of more than 213 Seniors of Significance, reflecting the strength and spirit of the Class of 2025.
Roulhac earned her degree in communication and marketing from the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, where her leadership in the Associated Student Government was marked by advocacy, inclusivity and innovation. From reimagining student traditions to interning for U.S. Senator John Boozman in Washington, D.C., she consistently sought ways to connect and uplift her fellow Razorbacks. This fall, she began a master’s program at the Clinton School of Public Service, continuing her path of impact through public service.
Ivey, a Bodenhamer Fellow who double-majored in data science and mathematics, is widely recognized for his groundbreaking work in artificial intelligence and mental health prediction. His research earned him the CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award, and he has shared his findings internationally. Ivey has since begun a Ph.D. in computer science at Johns Hopkins University, where he continues to explore how data and technology can amplify underrepresented voices.
Together, Roulhac and Ivey embody what it means to be a Razorback — dedicated scholars, compassionate leaders and lifelong ambassadors for the University of Arkansas. 🐗
