the demands of the workforce and graduate school programs.
Two new tracks within the program were proposed—one
for management and the other for practice in the field. The
program is more efficient as a result of this realignment.
The Department of Nursing implemented several initiatives
to accomplish curriculum alignment, implement simulated
learning, increase enrollment, improve retention and attrition
rates and address NCLEX pass rates. The newly created
Clinical Simulation Laboratory was in use during fall 2008.

New Degree Programs, Courses,
Institutes and Centers
In the School of Arts and Sciences, a software package from
Eduspace and a new textbook was implemented in the area
of mathematics, which made online assistance for the math
course accessible to all students. Eduspace provides powerful
course management tools and text-specific content that make
it easy for instructors to teach all or part of a course online.
Plans are to expand this software from elementary algebra up
to Calculus I. Faculty in the Department of English, Theatre
and Mass Communication made several improvements to its
academic programs, including developing rubrics for scoring
in freshman composition, adopting textbooks that are more
comprehensive, offering more sections of general education
courses and expanding its offering of web-based courses.

The lab has increased the students’ confidence in their clinical
skills in pre- and during clinical rotations.
The Health
Education System, Incorporated (HESI ) end-of-course scores
were higher for students completing the final medical-surgical
course. The May 2009 graduating seniors’ scores improved
on each take of the HESI comprehensive in comparison to
previous classes. The nursing curriculum was realigned to
decrease deficiencies and redundancies in essential courses,
incorporate simulation learning to complement clinical skills,
redistribute hours to accommodate new theory hours and
revise current clinical/course credit hours and titles. These
changes were implemented to increase clarity and improve
advisement. Approval has already been received internally
and by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing in June 24, 2009.
Approval is pending by the National League for Nursing and
the Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) .
The Department of Biology continued to enhance the
readiness and competitiveness of graduates for graduate/
professional level studies and entry into the job market.

Partnerships and Collaborative Efforts
The development of effective partnerships has remained a major strength as SAFHS expands its teaching, research and
outreach programs to serve its clientele. Partnership programs are developed to provide educational opportunities for current
and potential students and enhanced and enriched programs for SAFHS clientele. Partnerships broaden the scope of SAFHS
delivery capabilities by providing technical, expertise and financial resources that support and promote SAFHS programs.
The School has one hundred and twenty-nine research and outreach partnerships and collaborative activities in addition to
a host of informal networks. Partnerships were created for collaborate research proposal development, information research
exchange, and technical assistance. SAFHS faculty are involved in partnership activities occupying, on the average, 10% of

Research Highlights
Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture conducts research
in agriculture, economics and natural resource management
and focuses on problems and issues that small and limitedresource farmers and ranchers in Arkansas confront.
Researchers in the Department address problems that are
both timely and important to the general public at the local,
state and national levels. Pursuant to the University’s Goals,
the Department conducts research and scholarly activities
that enhance the problem solving capacity of the institution
and contributes to expanding the knowledge base.
USDA Evans – Allen support, external research grants, and
state support provide the financial basis for the Department
of Agriculture’s research programs. Research and Extension
programs are categorized under five goals which include
supporting: 1) an agricultural system that is highly
competitive in the global economy; 2) a safe and secure food
and fiber system; 3) a healthy, well-nourished population; 4)

The purpose of this project was to
help develop, implement, assess,
and evaluate the delivery of health
education curricula in the area of
cancer control and prevention. The
goal of this research is to identify
best practices in the area of disseminating quality cancer prevention education from community-based health
organizations to at-risk populations
throughout Eastern Arkansas in an
effort to reduce/ eliminate cancer
health disparities.
