UA Little Rock students clean Coleman Creek
UA Little Rock student volunteers helped clean up Coleman Creek in honor of Sustainability Day on Oct. 23. It's especially important to keep Coleman Creek clean because it empties into Fourche Creek. It's considered the most important urban watershed in Arkansas, since the watershed drains and filters runoff from Arkansas's capital city.

Reeves learns valuable skills on summer internship found through Handshake
As the end of her junior year at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock drew near, Keely Reeves was concerned about a lack of professional experience that she felt would hurt her chances to get a job after graduation. "I will graduate in May 2020," said Reeves, a Benton native double majoring in mass communication and professional and technical writing. "I only had one internship under my belt before last summer, and I was panicking, thinking that I might graduate without having any internships related to my majors." Last spring, she began an intense search for internships that involved video editing, photography, social media, writing, and editing.
