Does your family tree contain multiple generations of University of Arkansas graduates? If so, we want to hear from you! Razorback Generations is a new initiative to reach out to families like you and document your family’s legacy with the University of Arkansas. We encourage you to fill out our new generations chart and return it to the Alumni Association. For a complete generation to count, there must be at least one graduate included. We are developing special acknowledgments for submissions that will be utilized online, in Arkansas magazine and on display at the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House.
Many generations of Razorbacks will return to campus next week as the students get ready to embark on a new year. For some parents, their sons and daughters represent the third, fourth or even fifth generation to have their names etched in Senior Walk. During move-in days on Aug. 18-20, we invite our Razorback Generations to take a break from hauling belongings and stop by the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House at 491 N. Razorback Road to share your family’s legacy with us. Be sure to pick up your free gift, a token of our appreciation for being a special part of University of Arkansas history and tradition.
If you have any questions about the Razorback Generations project, please feel free to leave us a comment below.
I graduated from U of A in 70 (Sharon Bryant), My brother Fred and brother Doug also graduated from U of A. My uncles Tommy and Lee Taylor and cousins W.T. Cotten and Clark Cotten were all engineer graduates (brother Doug is an architect) My husband Jerry Mazzanti played football for U of A in early 60’s, got his business degree and finished his law degree in 70. He had two brother Geno and Francis that also played football and recieved their degrees from U of A. I have numerous cousins, neices and nephews that have also graduated from U of A campus. All three of my sons Dean(Business), Todd (Psychology, Law degree) and Scott (Logistics and Transportation/Business) all graduated from U of A. (We told them they could go ANYWHERE they wanted but we would just pay for them to go to school on THE HILL!!) They were always Razorbacks and would not have gone anywhere else. Dean’s wife Barbara (Morris) also has a degree from U of A. Scott’s wife Stephanie (Gosnell) got a degree in Business and then a law degree from U of A. Stephanie was also Student Body president when she was a senior.
My parents Al and Kay Bryant did not get to attend college (during the depression era) but knew that education was so very important. My grandmother (Blanch Ewing Taylor) always wanted her children to get an education. My mother, her 3 brothers and sister were all very good students and had the economic conditions been better, they would have been college educated. (Two of my uncles did become engineers/UofA) My grandmother’s influence was strong…ALL of my cousins went to colleges and many of them have have reached the highest levels of education). The University of Arkansas is well represented in the Bryant/Mazzanti families.
