Back to School for Spring 2021

First, welcome back! The faculty and administration are looking forward to resuming law school classes and activities with you tomorrow. Second, the health of our community remains our focus – with surging cases we must continue to mask, distance, and sanitize consistently. Thank you for your cooperation in the fall and let’s continue to work together to keep each other healthy in the spring.

The Spring 2021 Building Guide can be downloaded. As in the fall, it is a living document and will be updated as conditions change. Below are some highlights:

We can now make testing appointments online through Pat Walker Health Center

Each day of the week the law school building has an administrator on duty to assist anyone in the building in connecting with services, addressing cleaning supplies, or other questions/concerns. These administrators will be in the building but contacting them by phone is the easiest way to facilitate next steps for whatever the issue may be --

Mondays

Randy Thompson (479-575-5831)

Tuesdays

Edison Williams (479-575-4164)

Wednesdays

Terri Chadick (479-575-6378)

Thursdays

Lynn Stewart 8:00-12:00 (479-575-7946)

Fridays

Tory Gaddy 8:00-12:00 (479-575-3895)

Susannah Pollvogt 12:00-5:00 (479-575-7051)

You may also email lawrept@uark.edu or text 479-225-0447 if you have concerns or issues with building usage, need guidance on a COVID-19 related issue, or otherwise need assistance.

As in the fall, all offices are open but we will continue with appointments on zoom/teams for most of our work. Please reach out to relevant staff or faculty to make those appointments!

A reminder that open lines of communication are critical to our community’s safety and success. Please ask questions if you have them, offer feedback when you have it, and recognize that while we may not be able to do some things we’d like to, discussing the issue and figuring out what we can do doesn’t happen without communication.

Stay tuned for more spring 2021 information as the next few weeks unfold. I am proud of your resilience and persistence as we enter another unusual semester – let’s go!
