Today I attended the commencement exercises for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's Bowen School of Law. Carla Johnson, a 2005 graduate of Philander Smith College and former Miss PSC, was in this class of about 120 graduates. I met her when I was introduced as president in October of 2004.

There were about 15 African American graduates. They attended great institutions like Emory University, Duke University, the University of Virginia, and Bowdoin (Maine)- you know, those schools consistently at the top of the US News rankings of "best" colleges. UAPB and UCA were also represented.

Unfortunately, only one African American student graduated with honors out of the group.

Carla.

Enough said.
