The Project
Every Bear has a story, and the UCA Alumni Association wants to hear yours. However, with over 68,000 living alumni, it would take many years to meet with each of you individually. That’s why we’ve decided to embark on a new project called Bear Tales to collect the stories of alumni like you in your own words. These stories will be preserved in a book that celebrates the impact the University of Central Arkansas has had on your lives and who you are today. Every year we don’t capture and preserve these stories feels like another opportunity lost, so we’re excited to get started today!

Controversial San Francisco DA facing recall effort after parolee in stolen car allegedly kills two women Print this article
The New Year s Eve deaths of two San Francisco women, allegedly at the hands of a parolee behind the wheel of a stolen car, could cost the job of the city s soft-on-crime district attorney with family ties to terrorists.
