Congrats! Shaglista Ware
We want to congratulate and recognize Shaglista Ware on graduating this past December and share her story about how Career Pathways helped her reach her educational goals at UA Cossatot.
“My name is Shaglista, and I am a recent RN graduate. I started with the LPN program at UA Cossatot and quickly found out that I did not qualify for financial aid anymore, and the school didn’t accept student loans. I was referred to Crystal Hunter, and she provided me with the information needed to get set up with Career Pathways. I qualified and received way more help than I imagined getting. I live an hour away. By contacting Career Pathways, I received a gas voucher, help with uniforms, supplies, and most importantly, help with my tuition. I received assistance throughout the LPN program and the RN program. Career Pathways also paid for both of my state tests for both programs. Because of Career Pathways, I was able to finish nursing school without any debt or any financial worry. I am forever grateful and will continue to refer students to Career Pathways. Thank you!” - Shaglista Ware
Our Career Pathways department wants UA Cossatot students to have the best experience they can while enrolled at our college. Career Pathways provides assistance and many resources for UA Cossatot students. For any questions about Career Pathways, please contact Crystal Hunter at 870-584-1119.

Daily Legislative Report From State Rep Deann Vaught:
Wednesday is the last day members can file proposed Constitutional Amendments. The General Assembly can refer a maximum of three amendments for the November 2022 General Election ballot.
Proposed amendments are filed as either a House Joint Resolution (HJR) or a Senate Joint Resolution (SJR).
The House State Agencies committee will review and vote on proposed amendments later in the session.
Meanwhile, the House passed several bills this afternoon, including the following:
HB1110-This bill requires a state entity to report security breaches to the legislative auditor. If the auditor believes the security incident significantly compromises citizens’ data or creates significant concern, the auditor will notify the Governor and legislative leaders.
HB1265-This bill amends the law concerning the unlawful passing of a school bus. It states drivers must come to a complete stop no less than 30 feet from the bus when it stops to load or unload passengers. This 30 feet perimeter would apply to public roads, private or public property open to the general public, and any driveway or parking lot belonging to a public school.

De Queen Public Schools Report
Community Organizers Announce New Non-Profit Organization and Mural Project in De Queen
NEWS RELEASE
Minority Affairs Council Contact: 720-477-9659 February 9th, 2021 DQUnity@Gmail.com
Community Organizers Announce New Non-Profit Organization and Mural Project in De Queen
DE QUEEN, AR—A team of area organizers have launched an inclusive local group and announced plans for a community mural as their first project in De Queen this month.
The new Non-Profit organization is aiming to support the minority populations of Sevier County and unite the communities of Southwest Arkansas as a whole. After their most recent meeting held in downtown De Queen Thursday February 4th, leaders conducted a poll and voted “Minority Affairs Council” as the name for the group.
The first community goal carried out by the Minority Affairs Council will be to cover up graffiti markings with a “Welcome to De Queen Mural” on a storage unit business recently vandalized on the Eastern edge of town. MAC has received permission from the business owner to paint the building’s exterior and the group is in the process of commissioning a team of artists to bring the work of community art to life.
In addition to erasing the act of vandalism, the group also envisions the future mural to serve as a tourist attraction for visitors driving through on U.S Highway 70. Ideally, travelers can take a family photo at the “Welcome to De Queen Mural” and stop for coffee and food at nearby Jitterbug Java and Hachi Hachi restaurants on the way through town.
The Minority Affairs Council also hopes to use the mural as an opportunity to promote the diverse cultures of Sevier County and talks of possibly painting leaders of De Queen’s past or the word “Welcome” in different languages on the piece are in the works as well. This decision, along with selecting a Board of Directors and finalizing regular meeting places and times are on the agenda for the next meeting on February 18th.
Other goals for the group this year include planning an annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, organizing authentic Hispanic Heritage month events and a Juneteenth celebration to embrace African-American culture. The Minority Affairs Council also hopes to support BIPOC residents in pursuing local Government, build a multi-cultural center and African-American museum in the future.
To fund the community mural, a series of fundraisers will be held to collect money to pay for the supplies and provide artist compensation.
People of all ages, ethnicities, religions and cultures are welcome to be involved in the Minority Affairs Council and the next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 18th at 7:30pm at Party Room Candela in Downtown De Queen.
All meetings can also be viewed on Facebook live and in-person meeting attendees are encouraged to wear masks and social distance to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

UA Cossatot Creates Leadership Academy
The University of Arkansas Cossatot has received a grant called “Delivering on the Dream” that has been awarded to help the college plan, develop, and create the first-ever UA Cossatot Leadership Academy. The launch of the academy began in November and will conclude in May. Twelve UA Cossatot students were accepted into the leadership academy and will continue to receive leadership training with an emphasis on giving back.
The leadership academy plans to develop Hispanic leaders by working with local and state city officials, health leaders, community leaders, the De Queen/Sevier County Chamber of Commerce, UA Cossatot administration, and the Sevier County Economic Development Director.
The UA Cossatot Leadership Academy is being led by UA Cossatot Center for Student Success Coordinator Erika Buenrrostro and training sessions will continue to be conducted once a month. Each meeting is focused on a particular skill set for the developing leader. Participants are given the opportunity to engage in topics that affect the community, such as education, civil rights, immigration, economics, health, and government.
The training curriculum is designed to teach, network, and engage the student’s views with specific outcomes emphasizing professional and personal growth. Students will be in charge of ongoing projects intended to help expose the student to voluntary public service and personal development.
The twelve students, along with Buenrrostro, have already collaborated and worked with community groups such as “Create Bridges” and “Excel by Eight” to help the children in our community as well as other community projects.
The students who were chosen and accepted into the UA Cossatot Leadership Academy include: America Rojas, Belen Hernandez, Briza Perez, David Serrano, Diana Ramirez, Giselle Gomez, Kendra Rodriguez, Marisol Gonzalez, Vanessa Hernandez, Angela Vertiz, Magdalena Lugo, and Cindi Elizondo.
After training is completed and all program requirements are met, the students will receive a $250 tuition waiver from UA Cossatot. A ceremony will also take place in May, where the students will receive a certificate of completion.
