Celebrating A Century Of Opportunity

In 1909, the Arkansas General Assembly created the Fourth District Agricultural School in Monticello. On September 14, 1910, the school opened its doors for classes, beginning a distinguished history of service to the people of Arkansas and beyond.

As we approach our 100th anniversary, we invite you to help us observe this event in a very special way.

We are asking you to become part of our Centennial Circle, a group of 100 friends of UAM who pledge $10,000 each to be used to create a $1 million unrestricted endowment for the UAM Foundation Fund. Earnings from this endowment will be used on an annual basis to meet priority needs of the university. These priorities will be determined by a joint committee of students, faculty and administration. None of the endowment earnings will be used to augment salaries.

All contributions to the UAM Foundation Fund are tax-deductible.

The Centennial Clock Tower

In observance of our 100th anniversary, the university has constructed a clock tower that is located at the center of the campus. The names of The Centennial Circle members, or whomever they designate, are inscribed on the Centennial Clock Tower.

Who to contact

If you would like to be part of The Centennial Circle, we encourage you to contact the UAM Office of Advancement at (800) 467-8148 or (870) 460-1028.
