University of Arkansas Students Start First Collegiate Chapter of Reading is Fundamental
Four seniors, Stephanie Barber, Brittany Belz, Peyton Olson and Annie Rolf, started Reading is Fundamental at the University of Arkansas in January 2021 to encourage college students to use their education and resources to benefit the next generation of learners. "We believe literacy is the key to an educated and well-rounded society, and we want to be a part of ensuring that children in Northwest Arkansas learn to love reading," said President and founder Stephanie Barber.
RIF-UArk is currently accepting new members. This semester RIF-UArk members are fundraising to donate a Reading for Success book kit for an elementary school in Springdale. Along with fundraising, RIF-UArk also promotes book drives and Zoom literacy events with schools.
