Last year was a crazy and it s been a tough week for a lot of people with all the snow and ice! We need something sweet and good to hear about and this just might be it. Southern Arkansas University is keeping hope alive. School officials announced earlier this month that they will keep SAU s “Candle of Hope” illuminated throughout 2021 until the battle against the worldwide pandemic is won.
Dr. Trey Berry, SAU president, said in a press release the annual conversion of the University’s bell tower to a beautiful holiday candle creates “a beacon that can be seen for miles around. As we move through our struggle against the COVID-19 virus, the tower will remain on as a Candle of Hope.”
