Today, Thursday, Sept. 11, is the deadline for University of Arkansas faculty, staff and doctoral students to sign up to participate in this year's Adopt-A-Classroom program sponsored by the Education Renewal Zone.

U of A personnel will be matched with a K-12 teacher in one of 27 partner schools. These are schools in rural areas or schools that serve populations typically underrepresented in higher education. The purpose of the program is to expose students to opportunities in higher education and K-12 teachers to up-to-date content knowledge and resources in their field through the partnership with university faculty and staff.

Training sessions are offered for interested partners to review the program and offer tips for success. For more information, complete the interest form available online or contact Smith at 575-3641.

The Education Renewal Zone is based in the College of Education and Health Professions.
