June 8, 2009 First Recipient of the Lynn R. Russell Endowed Award for
Professional Excellence Named The endowment was first established in the Agricultural
Development Council of the University of Arkansas Foundation, Inc.,
in June 2007. Named in memory of the retired assistant director of
family and consumer sciences, the Lynn R. Russell Endowed Award for
Professional Excellence honors Russell’s commitment to higher
education and professionalism.
Retirees Award First Scholarship At this year's annual retiree luncheon held at the 4-H Center, retirees awarded their first endowed scholarship to Vicki Shadell, a 4-H program assistant in Perry County. Retirees established their endowed scholarship fund to support current employees seeking to improve their knowledge through higher education or conferences. The retiree editorial board selected Shadell because her passion is working with youth. She has told her own children and her 4-H children, "my kids too," that education is important. Knowing how important it is to be a role model, Shadell returned to pursue her associate's degree in January 2007 at the UofA Community College at Morrilton. Once she completes her associate's degree, she plans to enter the University of Central Arkansas, where she hopes to earn a degree in family consumer sciences and then desires to become a county agent.
