Henry Woods

The Henry Woods Student Leadership Award will recognize two undergraduate graduating seniors at the University of Arkansas who have an outstanding record of student leadership during their time on campus. This award was established in honor of Henry Woods, a 1973 U of A graduate, and provides a $1,500 award for each recipient. 

Woods was involved in a variety of student organizations and edited The Razorback yearbook during his undergraduate career. Following graduation in 1973 from the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, Woods worked in Washington, D.C., on the staffs of Rep. Bill Alexander and Sens. David Pryor, Dale Bumpers and Blanche Lincoln. Woods strived to advocate and improve the quality of life for Arkansans during his 25 years of civic service at our nation's capital.

Friends and associates of Woods established the award to honor his lasting impact at the U of A and in the state of Arkansas.

The application can be accessed on HogSync and is open from April 7 to April 28.
